Our topic this term is 'People Who Help Us'. Last week we discussed all of the different people who could help us. This week we have looked at places we can go to for help within our local area. We used google maps to find our school, Ford Church, Shrewsbury Hospital and a local doctor's surgery. Focusing on the symbols used by Google maps to identify these places, we used them as a key and labelled the maps ourselves. We also went on a hunt for different places in the local area such as fire stations, police stations etc.

For English today we discussed the year 1 common exception words so we can become familiar with them. We discussed how a lot of them we cannot sound out and are therefore tricky.
We then went on to use some of them in sentences to focus on our sentence formation and handwriting.

A little hello from me!
Task 1 - Reading
It's only fitting that your first task is all about reading as we're a little bit reading mad in Class 2.
I have so many new stories I'm eager to share with you in September and Mrs Kinrade is ready and waiting for all of you keen to get quizzing!
Below is a Summer Reading Challenge - I'd go with the 9 square one not the 25.
I'll be having a go too this summer, taking photos as proof when I can and showing you all in September. I'd love to see where you've been reading and whether you can complete the whole challenge! I'll have prizes ready and waiting for those who manage to complete all 9!

It would also be great if you could spend some time over your summer learning to recognise as many tricky words as you can. Some of you will already be confident with Phase 2, Phase 3 and maybe even Phase 4. Those of you going into Year 2 should know most of them up to Phase 5.
| Tricky words - Phase 2 to 5 |
Task 2 - English
By September, some of you will have not been in school for almost 6 months - how crazy is that!
I know it's been quite a strange and scary time and one I'm sure you'll remember and talk about for years to come for many different reasons. I hope that, despite the circumstances, you've managed to find some positives to lockdown and have made the most of the situations and the fantastic weather we had. I would like you to create a lockdown memory jar. Draw pictures of all the things you've enjoyed doing, whether it be spending time with family, playing games, going for your daily walk or even your home learning. You may want to include some pictures of things you miss or things you haven't been able to do as this is a memory jar after all!
New Year 1 - I would like you to label all of the pictures you draw. Try your best to sound out the words and you may want to ask an adult for some help but I'd like you to write the labels yourselves.
New Year 2 - I would like you to use the writing frame to write a little diary entry / recount about your lockdown experience. Remember it will be in past tense. You may want to start with a phrase like 'What a crazy year it's been!' or 'You'll never believe what happened in 2020!' as I hope you'll look back at these one day and be reminded of Lockdown 2020.

Task 4 - Getting to know you
Now although I already know quite a lot of you, we haven't had a lot of time to get to know each other properly. I would like to know some of your favourite things, what you like to do or play, who your friends are and what you're looking forward to most in September.
Below is an 'All About Me' flower which I'd like you to fill in and bring with you in September as it would be lovely to share them all together. Some of you already know lots about me and I'm sure you'll soon pick up what my favourite food is, how my two dogs - Max and Tilly - are a little crazy and get up to lots of mischief and that you will hopefully never go a day in Class 2 without laughing. I could do with some new jokes so if you've got any save them for September as I'd love to hear them!
I would also like you to think about September and coming back to school. Many of you have been away from school for quite some time and you may be excited to get back or a little worried and that's fine. Below is a file with two sheets, 5 worries you may have and 5 things you're looking forward too. It's good to talk about things that you may be worried about but try to focus on the positives of coming back to school too - we're so excited to see you all and hopefully there will be smiles all round.

For one of our final humanities activities this week, to finish off our seaside topic, I would like you to raid the recycling and go on a hunt around the house for things you could use to make a Lighthouse.
I would like you to make a lighthouse using different materials. It can be as big or as small as you like and it doesn't have to look like the lighthouses we all think of (tall tower, red and white).
Here's a link to lots of information about lighthouses and loads of pictures of lighthouses around the world - I think you'll be surprised what some of them look like!

(There are quite a few 'how to' videos on youtube if you're stuck for inspiration).
Once you've made your clock, ask an adult to ask you to find different times starting with o'clocks and half pasts.

You could use some cardboard from the recycling, a paper plate or a piece of paper. There are loads of different ways of making them but as long as yours has the numbers 1-12 around the outside and a minute and hour hand that's all you need.
(There are quite a few 'how to' videos on youtube if you're stuck for inspiration).
Once you've made your clock, ask an adult to ask you to find different times starting with o'clocks and half pasts.

I hope you enjoyed finding out about Sea Turtles last week. I certainly learnt some interesting facts and some quite shocking ones too about how plastic pollution has such an impact on the number of Sea Turtles still left in our oceans!
We are going to continue learning about different sea creatures this week and we're going to focus on sharks!
Task 1
Year 1
We're going to start the week off with a phonics activity. I would like you to find a newspaper, magazine or something similar with lots of words in as you're going on a sound hunt.
I would like you to collect as many words as possible which have the sounds a, e, i, o, u in them (the vowels). You can display them any way you wish.
Remember, each sound can be shown in many different graphemes (the written representation of a sound)
a - rain, stray, they, eight, cake, rein
e - feet, peach, these, monkey, puppy, ceiling, shield, radio
i - bike, light, child, fly, pie
o - nose, goat, window, toe, though
u - tube, argue, few, too
Year 2
I hope you found some interesting ways to learn your common exception words from last week - do you think you can spell them all now?
Here are your words for this week. You can either use the file below to help you practise or find your own methods. If you're still unsure of any from last week, make sure you include them in this week's practise too!
Week 2 words: most, only, both, old, cold, gold, hold, told, every, everybody.

| Task 2 - Label a Great White Shark |
Once you have completed the labeling sheet, have a look through these 10 super facts about Great White Sharks!
Task 3
For Task 3, I would like you to begin to collect vocabulary ready for sentence writing later in the week. You don't have to focus on a Great White, however a lot of your adjectives will apply to many species of shark. On the sheet below, collect as many different describing words as you can - the more exciting the better! Try to avoid words like big, scary, grey... you know what I'd call them - boring!

Task 4
Now that you've got to grips with Great White Sharks and collected some fantastic vocabulary, now it's your turn to write some super sentences.
I would like you to write 5 sentences about sharks. Yes, only five! But they must be well thought out, with your best handwriting and using a good range of vocabulary, connectives and punctuation.
I would expect all of you to be using capital letters, full stops and finger spaces!
Year 1 - each sentence must include: capital letter, full stop, at least one adjective and a connective (and, but, because, so).
Year 1 Challenge - try and include commas in a list!
Year 2 - each sentence must include: capital letter, full stop, an expanded noun phrase (2 adjectives then a noun e.g. majestic, dangerous swimmers) and a different connective each time (and, but, so, because, if, when, which etc.).
Year 2 Challenge - Use apostrophes for contraction (wouldn't, couldn't, shouldn't, can't, didn't etc.), use an exclamation mark, use commas in a list and try and use a Year 2 common exception word in each sentence!

Task 2
For Task 2 this week I would like you to label a Sea Turtle.
Use the file below to find the labeling sheet (don't worry, you don't need to complete the Lifecycle sheet too!). Once you have successfully matched the correct labels to the Sea Turtle picture, I would like you to also write 2 adjectives next to each label to describe each part of a Sea Turtle. Your challenge is to not use the same adjective twice and to make them as interesting as possible. You may like to use 'wise' to describe their eyes as they've seen an awful lot of the ocean during their long life or the word 'protective' to describe the shell rather than 'tough' or 'hard'.

For tasks 3 and 4, it's now your turn to write a fact file all about Sea Turles.
I have attached some fact files on safari animals so you can see how they're presented and written. You'll notice the information is split into sections.
For your fact file, you can either draw your own in your home learning book or use the template below. You may want to split your information into 3 (e.g. key facts - size, weight, where they live, what they eat and what're their biggest threats / conversation status). You can also add a picture too if you wish.

Task 5 - Phonics and Common Exception Words
Year 1 - In the coming weeks, if we were all currently in school, you would be taking your phonics screening test. I'm sure you would've all taken it in your stride and applied your phonics knowledge amazingly! For this week's phonics task, I would like you to have a go at reading these words (both real and nonsense) - remember, sound them out and blend them carefully. Don't rush and guess. There's also a rhyming activity and Name That Alien activity if you'd like to give them a go!
Year 2 - Over the next 6 weeks, our aim is to learn how to spell all of the Year 2 Common Exception words. Your focus words for this week are wild, climb, mind, kind, find, behind, child, children, because and eye.
You may already know some of these so focus on the ones you're not sure on. You can use your own methods to learn them as everyone learns differently. There is a look, cover, write, check sheet below for you if you'd like to use it.

Once you have watched the video, are there any animals you can think of that are invertebrates (don't have a back bone)?
For your task this week, you will need the sheet of different animals below.
Before you start, I would like you to have a good guess first. For each animal either write V or I in the corner of each picture to say whether you think it's a vertebrate or an invertebrate. Then, You will need to research whether each animal is a vertebrate or vertebrate and colour in the pictures accordingly (green for vertebrate, red for invertebrate).

Our story this week is called Flotsam by David Wiesner. Here's a link to the story - give it a watch and see if you can work out what happens.
Your first task this week is vocabulary based. There are many words used associated with the seaside that not even I knew what they meant before looking them up - who actually knows what flotsam is? Can you find the definition for each of at least 5 of these words?
Flotsam, ashore, floating, barnacle, encrusted, rapids, reef, tide, tsunami, shoreline and any more you can think of and want to find out what they mean!

For this task, what do you think the little boy says when he's at the seaside? What do you think he says when he sees the camera? What do you think he might say when he finds the film?
Using the speech bubbles below, can you write what the little boy might say - remember to use the first person!
If you're struggling with starting your sentences, the phrase 'I wonder' may be a nice place to start.

Can you imagine going to the seaside with your family and finding a camera washed up on the shore? I bet the little boy in the story never thought it was going to happen to him as he skipped onto the sand that day!
For task 3, I would like you to pretend to be the little boy in the story. What do you think was his favourite part of the day? How did he feel when he found the camera? Using the writing frame below, I would like you to write a diary entry as if you were the little boy after an exciting day at the beach. You might want to start with arriving at the beach and setting up the towels and umbrellas then talk about looking at sea creatures using the magnifying glass. You could then move on to going to the shore line and finding the camera.
Remember to use your capital letters, full stop, connectives and exciting vocabulary!

Here's a helpful video you may want to watch.
| Year 2 (Task 2) Using connectives |
Before continuing with our sentence writing, you need to collect all your ideas and vocabulary for some super sentences! As our topic this term is the seaside, we will be using our senses (touch, smell, taste, see, hear) to describe the seaside. Have a look and a listen to this video and pictures for some inspiration. You may want to think of additional vocabulary you want to use to make your sentences even better e.g. instead of just writing seagulls in the 'hear' box, you could write seagulls squawking or squawking seagulls.
| Year 2 (Task 3) Seaside Senses |
For Task 4, you need to use the vocabulary you collected yesterday to write 5 super sentences - one for each sense! I would like you to try and use as many different connectives as possible. Remember the handwriting practise completed and try and apply it. Don't forget those capital letters and full stops too!

Task 1
Your first task this week is based around phonics and reading. Year 1's, you're on the hunt for split digraphs. We'd looked over these before Easter so it will be good to see if you can remember them! Have a go at the phoneme spotter below and then use phonics play to go over alternative pronunciations for /ai/ and /ee/. Year 2's it's time to put your reading skills to the test. Remember to read the text carefully, underline important information and double check your answers.

For task 3 and task 4 this week, you need to write an informal letter.
For your first letter, I would love for you to write it to me and tell me all about the fun you've been having at home. You could write about things you did with your families over Easter, some of the home learning you've been doing, a great book you've read or a fantastic game you played in the sunshine. You can ask an adult to help you find the school's address and if you post your letter to me (you could always photograph it and send it through the email instead), you never know I might even send you a reply!
For your second letter, I would like you to write it to someone who may be on their own, someone who's working really hard at the moment or a member of your family or friends. I'm sure they'd love to hear from you!
There's a letter template below you may want to use and it might help you to use the writing checklists too.

This week's task is to find out all about Grace Darling.
First of all, watch this fantastic video where an actor plays the part of Grace Darling and tells her story in the first person.
Then, have a look through the Grace Darling PowerPoint or have a little research yourself.
Once you have explored the information about Grace Darling and why she is remembered for her heroic actions, fill in the short fact file below and see if you can put the timeline in order. If you have more information you would like to record, you could use bullet points and write a list in your home learning book.

Task 3
If you have completed Task 2, you will have noticed that all of the speech is in the first person and they would've used the pronouns I/he/she/they when the characters were speaking. Before you start writing your own play script based on the story, you need to get used to writing in the first person as a different character. Today's task requires you to pretend to be characters from the story (the whale, the snail, the school children and the shark) and write a few sentences as if you were them! For example the school children may say... We were so glad we could help the whale and push him back into the sea OR It was so funny when the snail was on our teacher's back but I was worried I was going to get in trouble as I couldn't stop laughing. Remember to use full stops, capital letters, your phonics knowledge and focus on forming your letters correctly too!

Task 4 and 5
For this task, you need to pick a scene from the story (you may need to re-read the book or re-watch the animation to jog your memory). The scene will need to have at least 2 characters e.g. the snail and the whale!
Your task it to write your own play script for a section of the story. Remember to use the first person. You can either draw a line down your home learning book to separate the character's name and their dialogue or use the template below.

Our topic this term is all about the seaside so to start off the new term we will be looking at a familiar Julia Donaldson story set at the sea side. You may have already read it and you may already have a copy at home which will be very helpful!
Task 1 - YR1 and YR2
Your first task this week is to watch the story of The Snail and the Whale.
Watch the story here and make sure you're listening as there's some questions you'll need to answer afterwards. The questions have page numbers linked to them so if you have a copy of the book at home you can use it to help you or you can see a version of the story here (you'll just have to count the pages!)

Task 2 - YR 1 and YR2.
Julia Donaldson uses some fantastic vocabulary in her stories which I'm sure you're familiar with. From a whale which is 'immensley long' to a 'starlit sea' and 'shimmering ice', you could say that adjectives play a really important role in creating a picture for the reader.

The activities today are for you to recap all of the sounds we have covered and the different blends too. You can do as many of the sheets as you like. Once you've completed them, you can go onto Phonics Play and play some of the games to refresh your memory (Year 1's look at Phase 5 and Year 2 look at Phase 6). Don't forget there's also books on Oxford Owl you can access and quiz on, let's keep Class 2's quiz numbers creeping higher and higher!

Phonics
A fun phonics activity to do in the sunshine if you'd prefer to be outside!
Taken and adapted from FiveMinuteMum's website, we used the game 'The Washing Line' to help with learning to spell our surnames and Year 1 or 2 common exception words. Simply select a word, either a part of a name or a tricky spelling, write it on a piece of paper and cut it up into letters or sounds. Tie a piece of rope or string between two solid structures outside or inside. Jumble up the letters and peg them onto the washing line in order. If you don't have any pegs, you could use post it notes instead! You could even use a timer to see how quickly it can be done and if you revisit the activity in a few day's time, can the time be beaten?

Once you have collected your items, can you put them into order from the smallest capacity to the largest? Can you compare two items e.g. there is more liquid in the shampoo bottle than there is in a cup.
