WALT: Add a 'near multiple of 10' to a 2 digit number.
Last week, we look at adding and subtracting multiples of 10. Today we are going to use that knowledge to help us with some addition sums.
If you take the number sentence 24 + 19 = we know that 19 is only 1 less than 20 which is a multiples of 10.
Therefore, if we do 24 + 20 instead and either using counting on or a 100 square, you should hopefully get an answer of 44. You will then need to subtract the 1 you added to 19 earlier meaning your final answer is 43.
Also, you can use your knowledge of adding multiples of 10, to complete this number sentence.
If you have 24 + 21 we know that 21 is only 1 more than 20 which is a multiples of 10. Therefore, if we do 24 + 20 instead of either using counting on or a 100 square, you should hopefully get an answer of 44. You will then need to add on the 1 you took away from 21 earlier meaning your final answer is 23.
Watch this video to see it explained again (with a visual 100 square) and stop the video at 1:54 as it then goes onto subtractions.

Science
WALT: Apply our knowledge of materials to making a paper bridge.
Last week we looked at whether we could change the shape of materials by bending, squashing, twisting and stretching them. During our science lesson today, we are going to look at how we can change the strength of paper.
Task 1: Find a piece of A4 paper - try and recycle a piece if you can! Please it between two objects of the same height. We will be using two tables in school and securing it in place using sellotape. I would then like you to place objects on top to see how easily you can bend or even break the paper. You may want to use a set of objects that are the same e.g. books, toy cars, knives, forks etc.
Task 2: This time, using another piece of A4 paper, I would like you to roll your paper into a tube and secure it between your two objects again. Using the same objects as before, place them on top of your paper tube. What do you notice? Does it bend as easily? If yours ripped in the first task, does the paper tube take more or less weight?
Task 3: This time, can you think of a different way to test improving the strength of the paper? Could you fold it? Could you add water to it to see if that improves or makes the strength worse?
Task 5: Watch this video of the world's strongest paper bridge!
Task 6: Take a look at the bridge designs on the file below. Your final task today is to make your very own paper bridge. It can be any design you like but it must hold a toy car (or similar). You can use any method to secure it - sellotape, staples, paper clips etc.
I would like to see your paper bridges so please email me some pictures to share with the class.

English
WALT: Use synonyms for said in direct speech.
You may remember last week we started looking at newspaper reports and on Friday we looked at interviewing the main characters. In a newspaper report that is published in a newspaper, they would report the words the characters said as speech by using " and ".
These are speech marks. They surround the words that have been spoken by a person. Now I could keep writing my speech and use the word said afterwards e.g. "Class 2's bridges were amazing this afternoon!" said Miss Davies. However, with a sentence like that, I'm amazed at how good they were so I think I might've boasted about them or announced how good they were to the other teachers. Therefore, my speech would then look like this;
"Class 2's bridges were amazing this afternoon!" boasted Miss Davies.
Can you see where I've changed the word said for the word boasted? Boasted it a synonym for the word said. Synonym means a word that means the same e.g. large is a synonym for big, they both mean the same thing.
Can you think of some different words for 'said' that you could use in these pieces of speech?
"Can we please have the football at break time?" ___________ the children.
"My knee is really hurting," ___________ the little girl.
"It was my turn to play with the skipping rope!" ______________ Clara.
Using the 'Said Synonyms' mat below to help you with some ideas, please complete the worksheets below.

WALT: Write direct speech.
Yesterday, we looked at synonyms for said and how we can use much more exciting vocabulary to help show how a person is speaking. For today's task, I am going to give you the synonym for said but I am not going to give you the speech.
For example,
" _______________________________________________," yelled the football coach.
You need to work out what the football coach might've said. Remember, the football coach yelled the words so you may think they're angry and annoyed!
If you saw...
" _______________________________________________," asked the little old lady.
You would know you need to write a question because the word asked gives you a clue!
Remember - look at your success criteria at the top of your worksheet. You need to try and include everything in your writing.

WALT: To know how Jesus taught us ‘forgive and you will be forgiven’ and the importance and impact of saying sorry.
Jesus taught: ‘Forgive and you will be forgiven’.
- What does the word sorry mean? What does the word forgiveness mean?
I would like you to put the words of Jesus in the centre of large pieces of paper. Then, draw cartoons of people who need forgiving. Draw a speech bubble from each person, with the word ‘Sorry’ in it. From above, draw speech bubbles saying ‘You are forgiven’.
Once you have finished your drawings and discussion about saying sorry, I would like you to consider these questions:
- Should we forgive people who say sorry too? Christians believe that once God forgives you it is permanent forgiveness.
- Do Christians think Jesus was good news because he gave God’s forgiveness to everyone who was sorry?
- When you forgive someone, how does it make you feel?
- When you are forgiven, how does it make you feel?
- Has there ever been a time you think you should've said sorry and didn't?

WALT: Know whether different materials can change shape.
* To know how to record simple data in tables and charts.
* To know how to make predictions by using our knowledge of properties of materials.
Last half term we looked at properties of materials, we explored waterproof and absorbency and looked at suitability too. Today we are going to be looking at changing the shape of materials.
1. Have a look around the room you're in. Are there any materials you can see which you think would be easy to change the shape of? Are there any materials you can see which you think would be hard to change the shape of?
2. Have a watch of this video (click on this link and use code QF1395 to access the resource).
3. Making your predictions. Have a look at the list of materials below. I would like you to have a think about what we've learnt already and work out whether it would be easy or hard to change the shape of each of these materials.

WALT: Write an addition to a story.
I hope you enjoyed the story of A Squash and a Squeeze by Julia Donaldson yesterday.
Today we are going to be adding another section to the story!
In the original the hen lays an egg on the rug, the goat chews the curtains, the pig is in the larder and the cow is doing a jig on the table. It sounds like quite a chaotic household but I'm sure there's room for just one more animal.... don't you think?
Your task today is to think of another animal (preferably farm related to keep with the theme) that the little old lady could squeeze into her house and write the story page to go with it!
You may have noticed that there is a repeating line in the story;
"Take in my ______? What a curious plan." Said the little old lady.
Using the writing frame below, I would like you to copy the sentence above, adding in your animal of choice. After that, you will need to explain what the animal did (the more naughty and chaotic the better!) and if you can get your sentences to rhyme then that's amazing! Once you have finished your writing, you can draw a picture to match your section of the story.
Remember, capital letters, finger spaces, full stops at the end of sentences and use your phonics!!
Here's mine...
"Take in my duck? What a curious plan." Said the little old lady.
Well, the duck jumped into the sink and knocked over a lamp which spilled my drink.
OR
"Take in my horse? What a curious plan." Said the little old lady.
Well, the horse cried out an enormous neigh and covered my sofa in a big pile of hay.

WALT: Use doubles to work out other addition facts.
Starter: Do you know your doubles? Can you recall them quickly? Play on the doubles section of Hit The Button!
Today we are going to look at using our knowledge of doubles to help us with our addition.
Here's an example for you.
If you know that 5 + 5 = 10, you can use it to help you work out 5 + 6 = ____
In the second calculation, you can partition the 6 into two numbers, 5 and 1.
This gives you 5 + 5 + 1 = ______ and using your knowledge of doubles means you can get to
10 + 1 = _________
Have a go at the Doubles, No Trouble! worksheet below (the instructions are attached).
For further consolidation, complete the worksheet from your Busy Ant Maths book.
If you have finished both and have whizzed through them, here's a challenge for you! - You'll need your number bonds from yesterday!

WALT: Explore features of a newspaper report.
Over the next few lessons we are going to be looking at the features of a newspaper report.
Now, some of you may be familiar with newspaper and some of you may not.
We will be looking through some old newspapers in school so if you have some at home, you could join in too!
To begin with, I would like you to work your way through the 'What are the features of a newspaper report?' Powerpoint. You will need an adult to support you with some of the words and talk you through some of the features.
Once you have looked through the Powerpoint, I would like you to select one of the newspaper report examples below - either The Gruffalo or The Highway Rat.
Using the 'Features of a newspaper report' worksheet, go on a hunt to find the features in your chosen newspaper report.

WALT: Use addition facts to find subtraction facts.
Today we are going to be looking at the links between addition and subtraction.
Below is a part + part = whole bar model. The whole is red which is made up by the blue and yellow parts.
From this bar model, we can make 4 different numbers sentences - 2 additions and 2 subtractions.
6 + 2 = 8
2 + 6 = 8
8 - 2 = 6
8 - 6 = 2
Here's a video which explains it a little better than I can for you!

WALT: Find missing numbers in addition and subtraction number sentences.
Today we are going to take another look at missing number problems. We have completed work on these beforehand but as they're quite tricky, it's good to go over them again.
Above, in the Year 1 section, there is a video explaining bar models and addition and subtraction families. I think it would be useful for you to watch it as bar models can be a useful tool when it comes to missing number problems.
Once you have watched the video, I would like you to ask yourself two questions.
1. Where does the biggest number go in an addition number sentence?
(at the end!)
2. Where does the biggest number go in a subtraction number sentence?
(at the start!)
Watch this video (hopefully you'll recognise the voice!) which talks through different methods you could use to solve missing number problems.

WALT: know the story of Matthew the Tax Collector and why Jesus chose him as one of his 12 followers.
We are going to be moving on to one of our Understanding Christianity units this half term during R.E.
Before we look at the story of Matthew the Tax Collector, we are going to look at Jesus and his 12 followers. Consider this question...
If you could choose anyone in the world to help you change the world, who would you choose and why?
Maybe it's because they're really brave or because they know a lot of information. Maybe it's because they've been a good friend or have helped you in a tricky situation.
For your first task today, I would like you to choose your 12 world-changers! It can be anyone. Friends, family, teachers, celebrities. ANYONE. When you are selecting your 12 world-changers, I would like you to think of the qualities each person has - are they kind? Do they do a lot of charity work? Do they care for the environment? Use the World-Changers worksheet below to make your dream team just like Jesus did!
Once you have completed your team of world - changers, I would like you to watch the video below of Matthew the Tax Collector. He collected taxes (money) from people and wasn't very well liked. Why do you think Jesus selected him to be one of his followers? Jesus was a friend to the friendless. Christians teach that Jesus brought good news because he was a friend to those left out by other
people.

WALT: Write captions for pictures for a newspaper report.
We are going to look at one of the features of a newspaper report today.
- Can you remember where captions usually go?
- Are they long or are they short?
- Do they tell the story or do they describe the picture?
- If you have access to newspapers, can you try and find some captions?
A caption is a short sentence which usually sits underneath a picture. It doesn't add to the story or tell the story.
A caption could include:
- The location of the picture (where it is)
- Who is in the picture
- Describe exactly what is going on in the picture e.g. If there was a picture of Class 2 after wet play the caption might say..... There was a lot of mess in the classroom.
For example, look at this picture below.

For example, look at this picture below.
Let's imagine the photo of the elephant was next to a newspaper report about a new zoo that had opened in Shrewsbury! The article talks about all of the different animals there and how the keepers are looking forward to welcoming people back after lockdown.
The caption for this picture could be:
1. The elephants have been enjoying their new waterfall (describes the picture).
2. Shrewsbury's new zoo is now homed to a herd of elephants (tells you who's in the photo).
3. The elephant enclosure, next to the cafe, is one of the main attractions (the location of the picture).
You need to make sure you are not repeating what could be in the main article. For example, writing the caption 'The zoo can't wait to welcome visitors after lockdown' would be repeating what was said in the article and doesn't really link to the picture.
On your worksheet today, there are 3 pictures from A Squash and a Squeeze. Remember the three points, where, who and what and you should be able to write a caption for each picture without telling the story!

WALT: Identify countries of the United Kingdom and their capital cities.
Today we are going to be doing a little bit of geography map work before moving on to where our food comes from in the next few weeks.
If you have an atlas at home, perfect! If not, don't worry, you can use this map of the United Kingdom.
Consider these questions:
What is a country? - a nation with it's own government occupying an area of land.
What is a city? - A place where many people live closely together.
What is a capital city? - A city within a country where the government functions from.
Using the worksheet below, I would like you to find, using your atlas, all four countries that make up the United Kingdom and then their capital cities.
*If you finish and want to find out more, can you find out what the flags for the United Kingdom, England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Island looks like?

WALT: Interview characters from the story A Squash and a Squeeze by Julia Donaldson.
Any journalist will always want to try and speak to people involved in an event to get an insiders opinion. For example, if there's a race somewhere they will try and speak to maybe the organiser and the winner.
Today I would like you to pretend to be a journalist and you are going to interview the characters from the story A Squash and a Squeeze.
Task 1: Come up with a list of questions you would ask e.g. Which was the hardest animal to get in the house? Which animal made the most mess?
Task 2: Pick your 3 favourite questions and write them on your worksheet below next to the three 'Q's - Remember your question mark at the end!
Task 3: Answering your questions. Remember, the character would be answering the question so you will need to write in first person e.g. I found getting the goat into the house the hardest because he enjoys eating grass too much.
You may find it easier to complete a little character role play at home to begin with. You could be the reporter and you could ask an adult or a sibling to be the characters from the story. Ask them your questions and then see what they say! You could also switch it round so you are the character to practise speaking in the first person.
WALT: Interview characters from the story A Squash and a Squeeze by Julia Donaldson.
Any journalist will always want to try and speak to people involved in an event to get an insiders opinion. For example, if there's a race somewhere they will try and speak to maybe the organiser and the winner.
Today I would like you to pretend to be a journalist and you are going to interview the characters from the story A Squash and a Squeeze.
Task 1: Come up with a list of questions you would ask e.g. Which was the hardest animal to get in the house? Which animal made the most mess?
Task 2: Pick your 3 favourite questions and write them on your worksheet below next to the three 'Q's - Remember your question mark at the end!

WALT: Compare the suitability of materials based on their properties.
Following our topic of Everyday Materials, we are going to look at the suitability of materials today. What does suitability mean?
Suitability means that is it the better than something else for the job. For example, if someone asked you if cardboard was the most suitable material to use for a coat, most would say no as it is not waterproof and not flexible enough. However, if someone asked you if glass was the most suitable material for a window, most would say yes it is the most suitable because it is waterproof and transparent.

Well done everyone for completing your fact files! They were great to see and you've been completing some super work at home!
Today we are going to look at some grammar and in particular plural noun suffixes.
First of all, can you remember what a noun is from a few weeks ago?
A noun is a person, place, thing, animal or idea.
What do you think the word plural means?
Plural means more than one.
For example the singular noun cat means there is one cat.
The plural noun cats means there is more than one cat.

WALT: Begin putting together short rhyming sentences.
I hope you enjoyed going over some rhyming words yesterday!
Here's a little something to get your brain going.
Can you finish my rhyming phrase?
A lamb eating ______ A pig wearing a ________ A bug on a _______
Ants wearing _______ A parrot eating a _________ A bee with a wobbly ______
Today you are going to be making your own little short rhyming poems (3 lines long!).
Task 1 - Have a look at this list of animal words below.
baa bang bark beep boom bubble burp buzz cackle chirp chomp chuckle clang clap clash clatter click clipclop clunk cock-a-doodle-doo cough crackle crash creak croak crunch cuckoo ding-dong drip fizz flap flutter gasp glug giggle groan growl grunt guffaw gurgle hiss honk hoot howl hum knock meow moan mumble munch mutter neigh pitter-patter plop pop purr quack rip roar rumble rustle screech shush sizzle slap slither slosh smack smash snap snarl snore snort snuffle splash splat splatter splutter squawk squeak squelch swish swoosh thud thwack tick-tock trickle tweet whimper whirr whizz whoosh woof yawn yelp.
Task 2 - I would like you to pick an animal that links to one of the animal noises above e.g. crocodile links to snap.
Task 3 - Your first line of your poem is going to start with 'I love it when...' and place your chosen sound at the end. You are pretending to be the animal of your choice. So if you've chosen to be a dog, pretend you are the dog and if you've chosen to write about a horse, pretend you are the horse.
For example.... I love it when my teeth go snap.
Task 4 - Now it's time to add your second line. This line doesn't need to be in the first person and can just be a general comment about other animals. You need to select a different animal noise from above (try and make it one that rhymes but it doesn't have to).
For example.... Hippos cheer and flamingos clap.
Task 5 - For your third line, you simply repeat your first one! This is called a Sound Sandwich!
My final poem would look like this.
Crocodile
I love it when my teeth go snap.
Hippos cheer and flamingos clap.
I love it when my teeth go snap.
When you are drafting your poem, you may not get it right first time. Many great writers make mistakes and change their writing as they go. Write your poem on some scrap paper to begin with and once you're happy with it, write it up on the sheet below along with a picture of your chosen animal. I'd love to see your poems so please send them to be on my email at the top of the page! :)
WALT: Begin putting together short rhyming sentences.
I hope you enjoyed going over some rhyming words yesterday!
Here's a little something to get your brain going.
Can you finish my rhyming phrase?
A lamb eating ______ A pig wearing a ________ A bug on a _______
Ants wearing _______ A parrot eating a _________ A bee with a wobbly ______
Today you are going to be making your own little short rhyming poems (3 lines long!).
Task 1 - Have a look at this list of animal words below.
baa bang bark beep boom bubble burp buzz cackle chirp chomp chuckle clang clap clash clatter click clipclop clunk cock-a-doodle-doo cough crackle crash creak croak crunch cuckoo ding-dong drip fizz flap flutter gasp glug giggle groan growl grunt guffaw gurgle hiss honk hoot howl hum knock meow moan mumble munch mutter neigh pitter-patter plop pop purr quack rip roar rumble rustle screech shush sizzle slap slither slosh smack smash snap snarl snore snort snuffle splash splat splatter splutter squawk squeak squelch swish swoosh thud thwack tick-tock trickle tweet whimper whirr whizz whoosh woof yawn yelp.
Task 2 - I would like you to pick an animal that links to one of the animal noises above e.g. crocodile links to snap.
Task 3 - Your first line of your poem is going to start with 'I love it when...' and place your chosen sound at the end. You are pretending to be the animal of your choice. So if you've chosen to be a dog, pretend you are the dog and if you've chosen to write about a horse, pretend you are the horse.
For example.... I love it when my teeth go snap.
Task 4 - Now it's time to add your second line. This line doesn't need to be in the first person and can just be a general comment about other animals. You need to select a different animal noise from above (try and make it one that rhymes but it doesn't have to).
For example.... Hippos cheer and flamingos clap.
Task 5 - For your third line, you simply repeat your first one! This is called a Sound Sandwich!
My final poem would look like this.
Crocodile
I love it when my teeth go snap.
Hippos cheer and flamingos clap.
I love it when my teeth go snap.
When you are drafting your poem, you may not get it right first time. Many great writers make mistakes and change their writing as they go. Write your poem on some scrap paper to begin with and once you're happy with it, write it up on the sheet below along with a picture of your chosen animal.

WALT: Continue to practise counting in 2s, 5s and 10s.
Today I would like you to continue to revise counting in 2s, 5s and 10s by completing this end of unit test. An adult can read the questions to you but I would like you to try and have a think about each question first before an adult helps you. Once you have finished, you can either have a play on Times Table Rock Stars or Coconut Multiples.

WALT: Show that multiplication can be done in any order (commutative) and division cannot.
Just like in addition and subtraction, there are multiplication and division 'families'.
For example if I gave you the multiplication sentence 2 x 5 = 10 you could also use it to say 5 x 2 = 10. Those three numbers (2, 5 and 10) can also be used in two division number sentences. Remembering that the largest number goes first in a divide, you can make 10 ÷ 2 = 5 and 10 ÷ 5 = 2.
Task 1 - Play Number Fact Families on topmarks. Remember to select 'x and ÷' and then '2 to 5 times tables'
Task 2 - Complete the Fact Families sheet below.
Task 3 - Remember your TTRS battle!

WALT: Use art media (paint) to explore shade.
In colour theory, a tint is a mixture of a colour with white, which increases lightness, while a shade is a mixture with black, which increases darkness.
Your task today is to have a play with some art supplies and have a go at practising shade.
Have a look at the picture below, the same primary colour (red) has been used each time but mixed with a little more black each time. You can see how the colour gets darker and darker.
Have a go at creating something similar at home - you don't have to use red!

Last week, I asked you to watch an episode of Inside the Factory with Gregg Wallace where you should've seen the process of how yogurt is made! I hope you enjoyed watching it - it's a fascinating process!
For your starter activity, I have a little quiz for you to see who was really watching last week.
Have a go at this quiz!
If you watched the show last week, you will have seen how the fruit they added to the yogurt (blackcurrents) were actually grown outside of the United Kingdom (UK), just like many other foods we eat.
Today we are going to look at where our food comes from. I think some food items might surprise you!
I would like you to complete the activity below where you need to sort the fruits and vegetables into two categories: Food that can be grown in the UK and Food that can only be grown in other countries.
Once you have cut out all of the fruits and vegetables, have a think which ones you know can be grown right here in this country, which ones do you think are grown in different countries? Which ones do you think need warm weather to grow? Place your fruit and vegetable items into the columns you think but do not stick them down just yet.
I would then like you, with an adult, to do some research! You could use your Alexa if you have one, Siri (or equivalent) on a mobile device, books if you have any or use google to search 'Can a _______ be grown in the UK?'.
Once you have completed your research, stick down your fruits and vegetables in their final positions.

WALT: Write our own performance poetry using rhyme.
A Friday treat for you all which I'm gutted I can't do with you in school!
Today we are going to write our own silly performance poetry titled 'Don't!'
Task 1 - I would like you to watch this video of Michael Rosen (the very talented man who wrote 'We're Going On a Bear Hunt'!). He performs his poem 'Don't'. Listen out for some of his rhymes!
My favourites were don't throw jelly at the telly and don't put ants in your pants!
Task 2 - You may have noticed there was a line that Michael Rosen repeats a few times in his poem 'Don't'. He says the line 'Who do they think I am? Some kind of fool?'. This is going to be your repeating line for your poem!.
I would like you to write at least 2 verses for your own 'Don't' poem. (You can write more if you wish). The structure of your poem should go like this...
Verse 1
Don't.....
Don't...
Who do they think I am? Some kind of fool?
Verse 2
Don't....
Don't...
Who do they think I am? Some kind of fool?
If you're stuck for inspiration, here's a few I've thought of you could use in your poem to get you started.
Don't put rocks in your socks.
Don't leave sweets in the heat.
Don't send the dog into a bog.
Don't bake a pie in July.
Don't let a bear use your chair.
Don't let a goat on the boat.
There's a handy website called RhymeZone you can use if you're stuck for rhyming words.
Task 3 - Once you have written your poem, I would like you to have a go at 'performing' your poem just like Michael Rosen.
Please could you send me your poems, I'd love to see or even hear them!

This week we are going to be moving on to Information Texts.
To begin with we are going to look at the difference between non-fiction and fiction texts.
A fiction text is a made up story, where you need to use your imagination. For example a story, play or poen.
A non-fiction text is any style of writing based on facts or real life.
Here's a BBC Bitesize activity and video which will explain it a little more. There's also a PowerPoint you could look through which discusses the features in a little more detail.
Task 1
I would like you to find a selection of fiction and non-fiction books from your book shelf (if you don't have any non-fiction books, use the free ebook library on OxfordOwl and search for non-fiction books).
What differences can you see? How can you tell from the title on the front cover if it's going to be non-fiction or fiction? Can you find the contents page and glossary? Does your non-fiction book have a labelled diagram on one of the pages?
There's a scavenger hunt checklist below you could use with your non-fiction texts too!
Task 2
Year 1 - complete the activity below which requires you to look at the title of the book in detail.
Year 2 - complete the features of fiction and non-fiction activity below.

WALT: Gather information for our non-fiction text.
Before writing a non-fiction texts, we need to collect our facts! Today you are going to collect all of the facts you may already know and add in some new ones too.
We are going to be writing our own non-fiction book all about farm animals so today we are going to be collecting the information for one page in particular; sheep!
To begin with, have a look at the 'What I know about...' example sheet. I quickly jotted down some of the information I know about dogs and then researched a few more facts to add to my notes. I could then use this to make an information page all about dogs if I wanted to.
Ask yourself, what can you tell me about sheep?
Where might you find them? What do they eat? What do they look like? Why do we need sheep? What are their babies called? Do you know what a group of sheep is called?
Using the 'What I know about...Sheep!' sheet below, note down the information you already know. Try and write in full sentences. Don't worry about filling in all of the boxes to start with.
Once you have collected all of the ideas you can think of, give this video a watch. Are there are more facts you could add to your notes page that you didn't have before? Try and fill in all 9 boxes!

WALT: know about traditional recipes served on Chinese New Year.
(May need to be postponed to later in the week/at the weekend if you don't have the ingredients at home. Please don't feel you need to make a trip to the shops just for this lesson).
If you can remember, during the video you watched last week, Abbie and her brother talked about all of the different Chinese New Year traditions. One of the things Abbie and her brother mentioned was the special meal and how there were particular foods that were prepared and eaten which represented different values and beliefs.
For our R.E. lesson today, I would like you to take a look through some of the recipes below. Are they different or similar to the foods we may eat over Christmas and New Year? Are there are particular foods which are quite common in Chinese cuisine e.g. noodles?
I would like you to have a go at making one of the recipes with your family at home. We're going to be making the Hot bananas in Coconut Milk in school!
I would like to see your creations. Please email me a picture :)

WALT: know, in detail, about different food processes.
Last week we looked at different food processes and ordered them from the source through to the end product.
This week we are going to look at one food item in particular and the process it goes through to become a product you may purchase in the supermarket.
I would like you to watch the episode of Inside The Factory with Greg Wallace (it's an hour long so you would watch it in short bursts!) where he follows a food product right from the source, through the factory process right to the supermarket shelves. The episode I would like you to watch is all about Yogurt!
Before watching, have a think about the following questions.
Do you know what yogurt is made from?
Where do you think a yogurt starts it's journey?
How long do you think it takes for a yogurt to go from the source to the supermarket shelves?
What's your favourite yogurt? - Mine's definitely either a strawberry corner yogurt or a thick peach one. Maybe think about how the fruit ends up in a yogurt? Does it come from the same source?
(There is a section in the episode where historian Ruth Goodman looks back at the story of the milk float, feel free to skip this bit if you'd like (19:50 - 25:25).

WALT: Use art media (paint) to explore tint.
In colour theory, a tint is a mixture of a colour with white, which increases lightness, while a shade is a mixture with black, which increases darkness.
Your task today is to have a play with some art supplies and have a go at practising tint.
Have a look at the picture below, the same primary colour (red) has been used each time but mixed with a little more white each time. You can see how the colour gets lighter and lighter.
Have a go at creating something similar at home - you don't have to use red!

An apostrophe is a piece of punctuation that can either be used instead of letters to shorten a work or to show ownership. Today we are going to be looking at apostrophes for contraction (shortening words!).
Take a look at these videos. Video 1 and Video 2
Apostrophes for contraction are used to shorten words. For example would not becomes wouldn't.
Can you see which letter is missing?
An apostrophe can replace 1 or more than 1 letters for certain words. For example in the word don't there is only one letter missing but in the word I'll there are two letters missing.
Here's two activities for you to complete.

WALT: Know about Chinese New Year traditions.
Last week we looked at the story of Chinese New Year.
Can you remember what the animals had to cross to win the race? Who came second? What animal did the cat and the rat hitch a lift on? Why are cats and rats no longer friends?
Watch the video - Preparing for Chinese New Year.
One of the Chinese New Year traditions is the giving of a red envelope.
"Red envelopes are a gift traditionally given during special events or celebrations, such as birthdays, weddings and Chinese New Year. The red colour of the envelope is supposed to bring good luck and ward off evil spirits.
Red envelopes usually contain money. They are most often given to children, but are also given to family, friends and colleagues. The amount of money inside usually depends on the relation of the receiver.
Certain customs usually need to be followed when giving and receiving a red envelope. These include only putting crisp, new notes inside, with the amount never including the number 4 in any variation. Red envelopes are also always given and received with both hands, and never opened in the presence of the gift-giver."
For your task today, I would like you to make a red envelope. Using the template below, follow the instructions to make your envelope. Usually families will add money to the lucky red envelope but I would like you to write something you are thankful for and your wish for 2021 on a piece of paper and pop it inside your envelope.

Year 1
WALT: Add -ed suffixes.
Today we are going to be looking at adding the -ed suffix to works when writing in the past tense.
The -ed suffix can make three different sounds.
For example,
In the word wanted the -ed suffix makes an 'id' sound.
In the word looked the -ed suffix makes a 't' sound.
In the word painted the -ed suffix makes a 'd' sound.
Have a look through the -ed presentation below and then complete application activity 1 and 2.
Afterwards, can you use any of the past tense -ed words from The Pig In The Pond in a sentence?
looked, splashed, jumped, gulped, gasped, shouted etc.

Year 2
WALT: Use -ed for past tense.
Today we are going to be looking at the -ed suffix. You may already know the general rule of if it's in the past then use an -ed at the end but today we are going to look a bit more closely at the rules.
The -ed suffix can make three different sounds.
For example,
In the word wanted the -ed suffix makes an 'id' sound.
In the word looked the -ed suffix makes a 't' sound.
In the word painted the -ed suffix makes a 'd' sound.
There are 4 spelling rules when it comes to adding -ed to regular verbs to make them past tense.
Read through them below or watch this video.
Rule 1:
Just add -ed.
wash ---> washed.
Rule 2:
If the verb ends in an 'e', remove it and then add -ed.
like ---> lik ---> liked.
Rule 3:
If the verb ends in a consonant and a 'y', then change the 'y' to an 'i' and then add -ed.
worry ---> worri ---> worried.
This rule doesn't work for play because it doesn't have a consonant before the 'y'.
Rule 4:
If the verb ends with only one consonant and a vowel before it, double the consonant and then add -ed.
drop ---> dropped.
Please complete both worksheets in the PDF file.

WALT: Use a selection of paintbrushes to make different marks creatively.
For this half term, our art focus is painting where we will look closely at the work by David Hockney. For this lesson, you will need paintbrushes. If you have some at home, great! If you don't, you could always try using a different type of media (crayons, wax crayons, felt tips, pencils etc.) instead and try and use them creatively to make different marks like in the video.
For this lesson, please watch the video link below and then have a go yourselves!
We'll be using poster paint in school so don't worry if you don't have acrylic!

Today I would like you to combine everything we've covered this week into your writing.
On your worksheet, there are 3 speech bubbles, you will need to pretend to be each character and write in the first person. I would also like you to write in the past tense so that you can try and use the -ed suffix. You may want to pretend each character is being interviewed!
For example, the duck may say...
I couldn't believe it when the pig jumped in the pond.
OR
Neligan may say...
I didn't believe the animals when they showed me the pig in the pond.

Science
WALT: Know how to identify what material an item is made from and discuss why it is the most suitable material.
Our science topic this term is Everyday Materials. We will be looking at identifying what objects are made from, the suitability of materials and testing their properties.
For your science lesson today, you will need to collect (with an adult) a range of different objects from around the house made from different materials (wood, paper, glass, plastic, metals etc.). Try and collect several for each everyday material.
Task 1: Can you group your items based on the material they're made from? Can you group them in a different way?
Task 2: Using a set of post it notes (or just cut up bits of paper) can you label the items with describing words e.g. rough, smooth, flat, bumpy, sharp, blunt.
Task 3: Think about the properties of the objects you've found. Consider these questions: What would the classroom be like if the tables were made of jelly? Or the chairs were chocolate? Why are certain materials used to make these items? Use the BBC Bitesize page to explore why different materials are used for certain objects and why.
I would like to see some photos of your sorting and labeling so please use the Submit Work Form above to send them over to me. I look forward to seeing them!

WALT: Write a recount of an activity.
Today and tomorrow we are going to be writing a recount of the activity - Making Duck's Footprints.
I can think of no-one better than Michael Rosen (author of We're Going on a Bear Hunt!) to explain to you what a recount is. He talks through the order of your ideas, the vocabulary you should be using and also how to edit and re-read your work. Click here to view the video.
Once you have watched the video, you will know that the main points you need to consider for a recount are:
- Making sure it's in chronological order (time order).
- It should have a beginning, middle and end.
- Use time connectives (First, Finally, Eventually).
- Use emotive language (Higher level vocabulary and adjectives to describe).
- Re-read (out loud if you prefer) your writing before finalising it.
Today your task is to begin writing a recount of making Duck's Footprints.
For example.. here's the start of my recount.
Yesterday, we made Duck's Footprints as we have been reading the story Farmer Duck. First we collected all of the equipment we needed and read through the instructions. We didn't want to make any mistakes! After reading them through, we cut out the Duck's Footprint template so we could use it to draw around. Then we placed it on top of the kitchen paper and drew around it carefully.
Before you begin, you may find it useful to talk through the process of making the Duck's Footprints with an adult (like your activity from yesterday) and try and use those time connectives in the correct place. Remember not to use those boring words (big, nice etc.) and try and keep it interesting!
We will be taking approaching this in stages. We will be discussing what we did first (Cutting out a template) and drawing a picture of it in the first box. We will then write our sentence for it, using a time connectives and making sure it's not a boring sentence either. After, we will draw the second step and write the sentence to go with that. Take your time, plan your sentence, focus on your handwriting and Try to get half way through on one day and half way through on the next day.

- Use emotive language (Higher level vocabulary and adjectives to describe).
- Re-read (out loud if you prefer) your writing before finalising it.
Today your task is to begin writing a recount of making Duck's Footprints.
For example.. here's the start of my recount.
Yesterday, we made Duck's Footprints as we have been reading the story Farmer Duck. First we collected all of the equipment we needed and read through the instructions. We didn't want to make any mistakes! After reading them through, we cut out the Duck's Footprint template so we could use it to draw around. Then we placed it on top of the kitchen paper and drew around it carefully.
Before you begin, you may find it useful to talk through the process of making the Duck's Footprints with an adult (like your activity from yesterday) and try and use those time connectives in the correct place. Remember not to use those boring words (big, nice etc.) and try and keep it interesting!
We will be taking approaching this in stages. We will be discussing what we did first (Cutting out a template) and drawing a picture of it in the first box. We will then write our sentence for it, using a time connectives and making sure it's not a boring sentence either. After, we will draw the second step and write the sentence to go with that. Take your time, plan your sentence, focus on your handwriting and Try to get half way through on one day and half way through on the next day.

WALT: Solve money problems - Addition
To begin with, I would like you to revise money.
Take a look at worksheet 1, you may find it easier to have actual coins in front of you.
We have covered 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1 and £2 in school in the autumn term but it won't hurt to go over them, what they look like and their value (remember there is no such thing as a 3p!)
Once you've finished worksheet 1, try out your addition and subtraction skills on worksheet 2.

For this half term, we will be looking at the work of David Hockney, particularly his landscapes paintings.
Task 1 - Watch the video explaining vanishing points, perspective and horizon lines. You don't need to complete the task in the video, juts listen to the information.
Task 2 - Have a look at the document below (Exploring Perspective). All of the paintings have been completed by David Hockney, a famous artist. In each picture, can you find where the horizon line is and where you think the vanishing point may be? Once you've explored the pictures, you can have a look at the answer document to see whether you were correct.

Task 3 - You'll notice with David Hockney's paintings that not all of his vanishing points are in the centre and the roads/paths leading to them are not always straight either! Now it's your turn to have a go at drawing some roads/paths leading to a vanishing point. Take a plain piece of A4 paper and split it into quarters. In each quarter draw your horizon line.
1st quarter - Vanishing point in the middle and straight road.
2nd quarter - Vanishing point to the side and a straight road.
3rd quarter - Vanishing point in the middle and a bendy road.
4th quarter - Vanishing point to the side and a bendy road.
See my example below.
1st quarter - Vanishing point in the middle and straight road.

Last week we looked at the changes in British farming over the past 100 or so years. We saw how the way farmers work has changed to meet demand and also how the equipment that they use has changed over the years too. One of the points we discussed in school was how people had been replaced by machines. Today we are going to be looking into the history of one of those machines in particular. We're going to be looking at tractors, John Deere ones to be specific, and how they have changed over the years to adapt to farming demands.
Task 1 - Here's a video showing the changes in John Deere tractors over the last 100 years.
Task 2 - Look at the jumbled up timeline. Read the information for each date. I have not included every point in the history of John Deere tractors, just some important ones. Without looking at the dates, which do you think happened first? Which do you think happened last? Which do you think was made first, the polished steel plough or the diesel-powered tractors? What is a blacksmith?
Task 3 - Cut out the 6 pieces of the timeline and create your own timeline in the correct order.

To start off the new term, we will be looking at a few books by the same author that you may already be familiar with!
The first book we will be reading through and using as our focus over the next week or so will be Farmer Duck by Martin Waddell and Helen Oxenbury.
Task 1 - If you have the story at home, fantastic! Have a re read (Year 2's try and read it independently!). If you don't have the book at home, you can read/listen to the story here.
(If you want to watch the story you can here)
Questions to discuss/consider once you've read the story:
- Why was the duck so sad?
- Who're the main characters?
- How did the duck's mood change as the story went on?
- Can you think of some adjectives (describing words) to describe the main characters e.g. the farmer was bossy and the duck was hard-working.
- Can you identify the beginning/middle/end of the story?
- When the duck replies 'Quack!' when the farmer asks 'How goes the work?', what do you think the duck really wanted to say?
Task 2 - Using the file below, can you order the story? (place number 1-4 in the boxes on the left hand side).
Year 1's - plan a simple sentence to describe what is happening in each picture e.g. The duck is working hard. Your focus needs to be: finger spaces, full stops, trying to use a capital letter at the start of the sentence and ensuring you are using phase 3 sounds when it comes to the following words (duck, farmer, cow, quack).
Year 2's - Write a sentence using a noun phrase e.g. The hard-working duck was making breakfast.
Your sentence does not need to be long but it needs to include a noun phrase (adjective + noun) to add detail. You should also be ensuring you are using capital letters and full stops correctly every time and ensuring your 'underline letters' (qypfgj) are actually coming under the line and not sitting on it!

WALT: Write a short recount of the story in the form of a postcard.
Task 1 - Recap the story. How do you think the duck was feeling throughout? If I was the duck, working day and night, I think I'd miss my family and friends. Today you're going to write a postcard to Grandad Duck from Farmer Duck. For this task, I would like you to consider your opening line. The opening line of a postcard is usually short, includes a greeting and may ask how they are. For example...
Dear Grandad Duck,
I hope you are well and you are enjoying the warm weather on the pond.
Once you have decided on what you would like to write as your opening sentence, you will need to write this on the blue lines on the postcards below.
Task 2 (Year 1) - For the next section of the postcard, we will be using time connectives as openers to help organise our information. I would like you to write about the different jobs you have been doing (you're the duck, remember) and anything else you would like to tell your Grandad. You can refer to the success criteria on yesterday's sheet for you writing today.

I would like you to write about the different jobs you have been doing (you're the duck, remember) and anything else you would like to tell your Grandad. The little red lines are prompts for where you may want to use your time connective as an opener to begin your sentence.
You can choose from any of the following time connectives to use:
First, Then, Next, After, Finally, After a while, When, Next, Before, Once.

Monday 30th November - Science
Last week we made our own mini greenhouses as we are looking at whether plants prefer warm or cold environments.
This afternoon, we checked on our greenhouses (some of them have germinated and we can see little shoots poking through already!) and we then wrote a set of instructions telling someone else how to build a mini greenhouse. On some lined paper, have a go at writing a set of instructions too! Remember you will need an equipment list to begin with and you could use some of the time openers we looked at last week to start your sentences (First, Finally, Then, Next).
Once you have completed your instructions, have a go at this little quiz to see if your plant knowledge is really up to scratch!

For today's lesson we looked at facial proportion and how our faces are quite symmetrical. Follow the step-by-step guide below to have a go at drawing a portrait of someone (you could use a photograph to help you) before beginning a self portrait. If you're feeling brave, you could use a mirror to draw a self-portrait instead!

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.

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.

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!

I hope you enjoyed The Disgusting Sandwich by Gareth Edwards last week - we certainly had a great time with the story in school and made some of our own disgusting sandwiches!
This week I have something a little different for you. Below is a link to a Talk4Writing Home School English Booklet. There is a range of activities in the booklet, more than you can probably get through in a week so it's up to you which activities you do and which order you do them in. It also asks for a donation to the NSPCC when you first open the file - I've already done this for you but if you have some spare pennies there's a link you can follow to donate.
If you're unsure of which activities to do or how to structure it, here's what we'll be doing in Class 2 this week.
Monday - Reading the superhero story 'Playground Rescue' and the factfiles and then completing the vocabulary challenge.
Tuesday - Reading challenge
Wednesday - Sammy's Creative challenge - creating your own superhero and badge

Would you rather eat a bar of delicious, gooey chocolate or a bar of slimy, green chocolate?
I know which one I'd choose - the delicious, gooey chocolate!
Now, they're both chocolate bars but the adjectives used to describe them really changes the reader's opinion just like in the story The Disgusting Sandwich.
Using the different vocabulary from the story and some of your own, complete the expanded noun phrase sheet below.

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'.

Task 3 and 4
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.

This week we will be looking at a story. However, it's not a normal story, this one has no words.
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!

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!

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!

Remember Class 2, when we add two 2-digit numbers together, you can either partition one of the numbers (e.g. 36 + 42 = 36 + 40 = 76 + 2 = 78) or use a number line. With a number line, you start on the left with addition and on the right with subtraction (with the biggest number first!). If you're struggling, give this a watch.

English
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 1 - comprehension - Year 1 complete the first page, Year 2 complete the second page. |
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.

Task 3 - YR1 and YR2
Today's activity has a punctuation theme. We've already looked at using commas in lists so it shouldn't be to unfamiliar. Here's a video if you're a little unsure.
Once you've finished your work for today, you could have a go at this quiz to see if you really know how to use commas in a list. Watch out for those sneaky, little commas that are hiding where they shouldn't be!

Today's task is all about phonics! Year 1's, we've covered a lot of Phase 5 and we had recently just covered split digraphs (a-e, e-e, o-e, i-e and u-e) and Year 2's, we had been looking at alternative spellings and how difficult the English language can be. 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?
