Home Learning for Week Beginning Monday 30th March
Monday 30th March:
Morning Year 2! We hope you had a fantastic weekend!
Playlist: This week Year 2’s playlist is the wonderful Ella Fitzgerald! Ella Fitzgerald was an American jazz singer, sometimes referred to as the First Lady of Song, Queen of Jazz, and Lady Ella. She was noted for her purity of tone, impeccable diction, phrasing, timing, intonation, and a "horn-like" improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upFyMb4f7J4
Fact of the day: The blue whale is the largest animal that ever lived (it could reach 100 feet long and weight up to 150 tons!)
Morning Journal: What was your favourite part about your weekend? Why?
Feelings: Miss Keam is feeling on blue today because she is tired, she had a little trouble sleeping. What colour are you on? Why?
Guided Reading: Looking at just the front cover of the book ‘The Ugly Five’– Predict what you think it will be about? Explain WHY you think that. (No cheating! )
English: https://youtu.be/69K2IZ1A1ZU
Now you can read/listen to the book, by clicking the link.
We would like you to find all the adjectives in the book and replace them with alternatives. Remember they must mean the same thing!
Have fun!
Art: Can you create your own landscape painting / drawing showing the African plain?
Maths: Today we would like you to focus on telling the time!
1) MOS – counting in steps of 5 – this will help when telling the time to the nearest 5 minutes in a minute!
2) On a piece of paper, can you draw where the minute hand would be on these different times... Remember the minute hand is the longer hand!
O'clock, quarter past, half past, quarter to. EXTRA CHALLENGE! 5 past, 10 past, 20 past, 25 past.
3) Throughout the day, have a go at telling the time. Remember to double check you have read the hands right!
(There are 4 maths documents attached - pick which challenge you wish to do!)
Topic: Create your own pirate map!
What would your ocean be called?
What would be your land be called?
What would be the treasure?
Challenge, write instructions to go with it!
Helping at home challenge: Today we would like you to help with tidying! This could be hoovering, dusting or putting your own clothes away.
We hope you have a lovely Monday!
Lots of love
Miss Davey and Miss Keam

One of the Ugly Five has gone missing!!!!!!!!
We would like you create a missing poster! You need to choose one of the animals from the story and write a detailed description of it.
I.e. Wildebeest:
The gigantic Wildebeest has gone missing! They have grey, rough skin…
(Template attached – you do not have to use this!)
Maths: Today we would like you to focus on number bonds.
1) odd and even numbers! Remember you can work it out by looking at the ones number by making the number on your fingers, group them into pairs, if there is one left over it means the number is odd! Try these numbers....
87 62 49 17 28 94 76 55 31
2) Pick your challenge....
Topic:
Reading maps!
We have touched on Maps briefly in year 2.
We have attached a PowerPoint about reading maps, with a focus on looking at symbols and keys. The task is to match the symbols and create your own maps, with a key and symbols! Have fun!
Helping at home challenge
Today we would like you to read a book to your parents! They have worked so hard looking after you and we want you to treat them to a lovely story!

Wednesday 1st April
Morning Team Sky and Team Ocean!
Playlist: Ella Fitzgerald https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upFyMb4f7J4
Fact of the day: The "sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick" is believed to be the toughest tongue twister in the English language. Have a go – it is hard!
Morning Journal: If you could have a dream meal, what would it be?
Feelings: Miss Davey is feeling on yellow this morning. I woke up to a text from my neighbour to look on my doorstep and then had bought me an Easter egg! How exciting!
Guided Reading: Could you turn part of the story into a play and perform it to an audience? Pretend to be one of the animals and show their mannerisms through role play! How would they act? How would they walk/crawl/strut? If they spoke, what would their voices be like?
English: https://youtu.be/69K2IZ1A1ZU
Imagine that the title of the book was 'The Ugly Six'. Make another page based on a sixth member of the group.
What type of animal would it be?
You could even design your own animal?
What would they be like?
Can you try and write the next part, like Julia Donaldson?
Maths:
I also saw this and thought this might be a lot of fun, if you have playing cards at home – have a go! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SD028NO-ZGc&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR0qCId1Ir0BtC4ra0AcWLCE7z4X7k03p-8YBXyGy9hFIbiekj2hCGwChwU
Topic: Topic todays links with the English learning of ‘The Ugly 5’ by Julia Donaldson. We would love for you to pick one of the animals from the story and make a fact file about it. Find out where they live, what they eat, what they look like and any interesting facts!
Helping at home challenge: Every single day you make us smile, so today we would love for you to make somebody else smile too. This could be a neighbour, relative... Anyone! I plan to make a thank you card for my neighbour for the surprise Easter egg!
We hope you fabulous day!
Lots of love
Miss Davey and Miss Keam
