Tuesday 19th May - Home Learning

Good morning Year 2,

We hope you have all managed to take a look at yesterday's blog, as there are many children who were awarded Star of the Day. 

Today's fact: Praia do Cassino Beach in Brazil is the longest beach in the world and measures over 150 miles in length.

Reading 

Where’s My Teddy. Watch the story and then work through questions in the Talk Together section, which ask:

What do children think it was about? Who was scared and why? How were Eddy and the bear similar but different?

Comparing and sorting shapes
We are continuing our shape series of lessons using Oak National Academy. Each lesson contains quizzes and an online teaching lesson.
Choose 'Lesson 7: To compare and sort 2D and 3D shapes'

Geography
At the start of the school year we used basic symbols to create a key, based on the trip to Westonbirt Arboretum. Today we would like you to create a map of your garden or part of your home. Then use basic symbols in a key. Below is an example of a map with a key.

Extra challenge - use compass points to give directions to different places on your map.


Star of the Day

Our Star of Today is Logan. We are so impressed with her well thought out answers to The Elves and the Shoemakers questions. Sorry the picture is side wards, we have been unable to rotate this photo.


Daily Reflection
We hope you enjoyed the return of the sunshine today. We have enjoyed looking at your drawings of the Shoemaker's workshop and the maps of your gardens, well done!
