Thursday 25^th February 2021

 

Thank you so much for sending your work via SeeSaw. You have had a great week of learning so far and we can see that you are working really well and completing most of your work independently which is brilliant to see.

 

Before your learning today have a go at this Yoga Routine. Yoga is great for our mindfulness, becoming focused for our day and staying fit and healthy.

 

 

Reading

It is ESSENTIAL that children continue to read every single day. This should be for a minimum of 20 minutes.

 

Reading challenge - Why not draw a picture or make something to capture the essence of a story. Pick 3 words that you are unsure of and look them up in the dictionary.

 

Resources for questioning your child while they are reading - VIPERS

 

Maths

 

To find patterns it is important to think about these things:

• What’s happening to the numbers?
• Can you spot the jumps between the numbers?
• What’s happening to the tens in the number?
• What’s happening to the ones in the number?
• Is it a single digit number?
• Is it a two-digit number?
• Can you notice a change in the ones/units when you are counting?
• Can you talk about odd and even numbers?

 

Today can you count in 3s from 1 to 30? Repeat this 4 times.

Write your numbers in 3s to 30 from 1. Here are some to start you off.

You can use your hundred square or number line to find the correct numbers.

 

1    4    7    10    13     16     19      22      25 ………..

 

Using the questions at the top can you write down 3 patterns that you have found?

Look at the numbers carefully to see what is happening to them.

FRENCH

Here’s a song to welcome you back to French learning.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atNkI6QFZ50

Now we’re going to recap the names of some fruits with this song.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJ03KjwiIVM

Collect some fruit from the fruit bowl if you have some. You can do some drawings on bits of paper if you don’t have the fruits. Here are the fruit words (pronunciation in brackets):  Pick up the right one and say them a few times. Careful with un and une. Un is masculine and une is feminine, remember.

une pomme (oon pom) – an apple; Une banane (oon banan) – a banana; un orange ( un oronj) – an orange; une poire (oon pwar) – a pear; une fraise (oon frez) – a strawberry; un ananas (un anana) – a pineapple; un abricot (un abreeco) – an apricot; un citron (un seetron) – a lemon; une peche (oon pesh) – a peach.

Can you sort them into 2 piles – un and une?

Here’s a game to practise the fruit words.

One of you puts a hat on and the other balances a piece of fruit or a picture on the hat without the hat wearer seeing what it is. The one wearing the hat has to guess what kind of fruit it is – in French of course!

There is a sheet to practise adding colours to fruit below. Notice that the colour goes after the fruit. So we would say a green apple, but in French it is une pomme verte – an apple green! Which is your favourite? Write it at the bottom. Je préfère les fraise (juh prayfair lay frez!)

See if you can ask for your fruit in French this week. Une pomme, s’il te plait. (oon pom seel tuh play).

Merci beaucoup. A bientot! See you soon!

Fairtrade Activity

 

Today we would like you to use google maps or an atlas to travel around the world!

 

Can you find any countries where cocoa grows?

 

Can you write down the name of the countries that you find?

• The temperature of that country today.
• What was the temperature of that country 50 years ago?
• Has it changed?
• Why?

 

Hope you have a brilliant day of learning year 2.
