Good morning Year 2,
Today brings sunshine with a cooler breeze, which will make it much easier to focus on home learning.There is a task today that is specific to preparing for our Tuesday Zoom lesson. Please make time to complete this so that you are prepared for the game we will play.
Today's Learning Tasks:
Warm up your body
Get ready for learning by choosing a Cosmic Kids workout on YouTube. Did you know Jaime has created a session based on the book The Twits. This is the funny book we have been listening to at the library. A link to The Twit session is below.

Be proud of who you areTo help us reflect on what makes us special and unique discuss these questions with someone you live with.
1. Name something you have done (an action) that you are really proud about.
2.Some people believe our gender means we should only do certain activities or dress a certain way. Is this fair? Explain your answer.
Reading1. Listen to the story 'The Crab and the Lantern Fish', which has been written by Eleanor W. The story is found on the BBC Radio 2 using the link

2.Please spend 10 minutes reading and respond to the appropriate question below.
Fiction text - what did the story make you think of?

Please turn to pages 9 - 11. Today you are going to get creative by becoming superheros. The pack will guide you through creating your superhero name, powers and symbol.

Measures: capacity and volume
Make sure you scroll down to the measures subheading before selecting lesson 5, as otherwise you will repeating an old shapes or fractions lesson. Select Lesson 5: to use millilitres.
We want you to understand what an animal life cycle is. To achieve this please watch the BBC Learning video below and then complete the following activity.

Get ready for Tuesday's Zoom
The theme is going to be . . . animals! Feel free to dress up if you want to, I will be wearing either my Tiger or zebra onesie. During our time together we will begin by taking turns to either share an animal teddy or a drawing of an animal. For this I will mute the group and then unmute each child when they put their hand up ready to share.Afterwards we will play Beetle Drive together. To prepare for playing this I advise you to practice the game with your family. The instructions are on the link below, there is also a link for how to make a dice in case you do not have one.
