Good morning Year 2,
Today is our last day of home learning for the week, because tomorrow is VE Day. If you are celebrating tomorrow make sure you have fun and continue to keep your distance away from people you do not live with.
Yesterday there were difficulties accessing the PowerPoint about VE Day so here is a direct link to it.

The Magical Teaching Box
Today we would like you to focus on page 12, which requires you to write new sentences using the underlined words.

Star of the Day
Our Star of the Day is Ella! She has worked so hard everyday during lockdown and today she has completely wowed us with her writing. Whilst imagining she was celebrating VE Day 75 years ago Ella created this piece of writing. She has used all that we have learnt about VE Day to include plenty of description. The writing captures the day in such a way we can picture this wonderful scene. In addition to this Ella has even recreated the scene in her Bug Town. Well done Ella!
Today's Reflection
It looks like you have all been very busy preparing to celebrate VE Day tomorrow. We have enjoyed looking at your bunting creations, baking, VE Day research and writing. Have a fantastic day tomorrow celebrating VE Day, which has resulted in a longer weekend, yahoo!
