Hello everyone,
Well done on all the great learning you’re doing at home. Whether it’s the daily tasks or the other activities you’re doing. It’s brilliant to see it all.
Here we have some super sketching, wicked whittling skills, cracking computing, magic mathematics, courageous climbing and relaxing reading!

What great expressive reading of the recent fluency text!
Using Oxford Owl online is a great way to read a variety of texts.
Another creative design of the Eiffel Tower and a visit to see the real thing!
Wow – this model must taken some time and patience.
I also managed to find a photo from visiting Paris 15 years ago!
We loved this junk modelling – combining design technology, science and money education!

Bonjour all the way from France
Year 2 have been learning about France and Europe.
In Paris, the capital city of France, there is a very famous landmark called the Eiffel Tower. 
After finding out lots of facts about the Eiffel Tower, the children created their own.

Hi everyone!
I’ve seen some lovely learning this week. Keep it up!
Phonics
Words to read:
Practise letter names by singing the alphabet.
Handwriting
Let’s practise long ladder letters.
Literacy – A map making treasure hunt!
Make a map of a room, the inside of your house, or your garden.
Write the names next to the different objects and areas on your map so that people can see where to go- you might even want to write sentences as clues for example; ‘On top of the desk’.
You might want to add x marks and hide your favourite toys or other items for your grown-ups to find! Your map might look something like this…
Maths
Counting practise
- Together, count to 20
- Take turns to repeat this, BUT you give each other a number you mustn’t say Eg Amit tells mum she can’t say six
- Mum counts, “one, two, three, four, five, uh-oh. seven, eight” etc
- Now Mum tells Amit he can’t say four
- Play this several times
Measures-comparing size
Choose from the following activities- (you might even want to try a few over the next few weeks!):
- Use a spoon as a measuring device. Go around and see if things are the same size, shorter or longer than the spoon.
- Why not make a paper chain. Talk about this getting, longer, the more you add. You could measure it. You could also count the links together?
- Who is the tallest in your house? Who is the shortest and who is in the middle?
- Can you make a list or a collection of teeny, tiny things? What other words describe small?
- Which things are larger than e.g. a cow? Could it be a bus, a whale, a house, a car etc? Make a list or draw things.
- Make long and short play dough worms and snakes.
Important vocabulary:
Long, longer, shorter, short, wide, narrow, big, little, huge, immense, giant, minute, tiny, teeny, same, taller…. Can you think of any more size words?
Extra activity

Enjoy your day!
