Good morning Year 2,
An amazing fact for you to think about at the start of today.
Women blink twice as much as men, but babies don't blink as much as adults
I wonder if you know why people blink?Please take time to look as yesterday's blog to look at our Stars of the Day, as well as the lovely photos your friends have sent in.
Tasks for today:
Warm up your body
Get ready for learning by joining Cosmic Kids on YouTube.
Reading
Please watch Michael Rosen perform the Chocolate Cake poem. Then
have fun with the ‘play a game’ activity which is explained below.
Can
you creep past someone without making a sound like Michael does in the night?The Magical Teaching Box
Today you are going to be taken through a couple of stages to build up to writing your own magic box poem. Turn to page 17 and work through two tasks that require you to list your favourite things and organise the three ideas for your magic box poem.

Choose: Lesson 3: To recognise lines of symmetry within 2D shapes.

Topic and Art
We would like you to research African repeating patterns and then have a go at creating your own African themed repeating pattern. Below are a couple of website links you may wish to use.

Star of the Day
Our Star of the Day is Antony. We have selected Antony because he has worked incredibly hard to complete all of his home learning tasks. He even spent time writing an email to Mrs Triggs and I. Well done Antony, you have really impressed us!
Daily Reflection
Another great day, thank you for keeping in touch and sharing your work with us. It seems you all really enjoyed making symmetrical shapes and creating African patterns. Well done!
In case you were wondering - we need to blink to keep our eyes moist (wet) and wash away any dust particles that may be in the eye.
