Good morning Class 2! I hope that you are OK today. A big thank you to Mrs Matthews for taking over the blog yesterday again as part of our transition work. If you have any work to send to her, please email to class3@netherthongprimary.co.uk
Thank you for all the ‘safe in the sun’ posters you did – since then it’s done nothing but rain! So I set Florence an extra challenge of producing a poster about things to do in the rain. Here it is, we might need it over the next week or so! Thank you Florence!
So the suggested schedule for today is as follows...
E.R.I.C. - Everybody Reading in Class for 20 mins
Active time - Joe Wicks is back showing a PE lesson at 9am or Go Noodle – another recommendation from me is ‘Two Princes’ – your mums and dads might remember this one!
Maths/Literacy - do this in batches of 20 mins each, build in breaks.
R.E.
Maths
LO: column addition 3-digits add 2-digits no re-grouping
- 140 + 35 = ?
- Partition 13 in 3 different ways.
- 76 - 59 = ?
- 50 ÷ 5 =
- What number is 9 more than 46?
- Make £1.15 with 3 coins
How did you get on with column addition on Monday? I hope you like it as a new method in your toolkit. You might want to use it in your 6 questions now if you think it is quicker than a partitioning method (remember I always say find the most efficient method to use!). Now you can do two-digit numbers with the column method, you can also do three digits!
The same rules apply:
- Set you numbers out in the correct place value like so…
- Start from the right hand side – so in our case the ‘ones’ column. Add the ones up and put the total underneath, like this…
- Now add the ‘tens’ column up and put the number underneath.
- But then you have to add the hundreds. A tip is to add a zero if you have a space, this will help you when you come to do more advanced column addition!
Now try this one yourself…. 146 + 23. Set it out clearly in the right columns.
Do you like it? Now try this sheet.

I hope you enjoyed researching about Shaun Tan. Today I’d like you to look at one of his illustrations…
I love the way Shaun has captured an intense feeling in the rabbit’s eyes. I think he looks like he’s just kidnapped the bird and is running away. What do you think? Discuss your thoughts with your adult. Then I’d like you to write either a story start or a description of the picture. You could think about what happened before this image or even afterwards. Remember to include different sentences types and sentence starts.
R.E.
LO: What did Jesus teach about forgiveness and generosity?
Jesus often used parables (story with a hidden meaning) to help people understand more about God.
What does it mean to forgive? Have you ever had to forgive anyone?
How did you feel? Was it difficult for you? Why?
When you do something wrong at home – do you say sorry?
Do your parents forgive you? How does that make you feel?
Have a look at the story of the Prodigal Son: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJgROx4wFKM
How do you think the two sons felt in the story? Talk about this with your adult. Now have a go at sequencing the story using these story cards. Cut them up, shuffle them and put them in the correct order.
I hope you have a wonderful day! Keep smiling!

Good morning again class 2!
I am delighted to be able to add another blog for you all today. I was so impressed with your fabulous work last week and all your amazing photos; thank you so much for sending them to me. I hope you spotted them on Mrs Barker's 'Friday Photo Gallery'!
Here are some activities for you to try today! I hope you enjoy them! Please don't feel pressured to do everything if time is tricky and just select those you can manage. Have fun and enjoy!
Yoga;
Why not begin the day with a little gentle yoga?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02E1468SdHg
Reading;
As always, spend some special 1 to 1 reading time with Mum or Dad. Listen to them read a story to you and then it's your turn. Remember to try and read with exciting expression and try and think carefully about what you're reading as I'd like Mum or Dad to quiz you afterwards about your book!!
Maths;
6 questions (remember to check; is it an addition or subtraction?)
- 45 + 24 (will you use columns or calculate your 10s and then your ones?)
- 37 + 32
- 62 + 25
- 64 - 22
- 74 - 32
- 54 - 23
Problem;
If Mrs Barker had 45 books on her book shelf and Miss Kelly gave her 24 more, how many would she now have?
Activity;
Do you like shopping? I definitely do!!
Here's a little shopping task......
You may need to ask Mum or Dad to help you, but I'd really like you to make your own little grocery shop today! With an adult's help, select items from the cupboard and give them all prices (ranging from 10p to £1 to begin with but then higher prices when you're ready). Have fun preparing your shop. You'll need lots of items to sell, a table, a chair for the shopkeeper, a shopping basket (or alternative!!), carrier bags (recyclable of course!), a pencil and paper for calculations and lots of coins!
Before you begin you may want to remind yourself of the value of each of the coins.
Take turns to be the shopkeeper and customer.
As the customer, select 2 items to begin with (may be more later).
As the shopkeeper, you find your 'till' isn't working so you'll need to add the total cost yourself!! Use your pencil and paper to work it out; will you need to use columns?
Make sure you play the role of the shopkeeper lots and lots so you're doing the adding up!!
English;
I am really looking forwards to you all joining me in class 3 in September. We are going to have great fun!
You may feel excited, you may feel a little worried (I promise you don't need to though) and you may have lots of questions.
Are there some questions you would like to ask my current class? I am sure they would love to answer them.
Please could you write a list of burning questions you would like to ask them and I will pass them onto class 3 so they can reply via your class blog. Make sure you use your best handwriting and punctuation and perhaps even create a colourful border if you like!
D.T.
Mum and Dad must have been very busy over the last few months!! Would you like to help them prepare either lunch or tea? You could help prepare the food, set the table and even make an eye-catching menu. You could even pretend to be the waiter or waitress and serve everyone their meal too.
I really hope you all have a great day and have fun trying the activities above! Do let me know how it goes and please send me some photos too; please use the class 3 email address so they will come directly to me.
class3@netherthongprimary.co.uk
Thank you so much everyone!
Take care and have fun!

Good morning my lovely Year 2 class, how was your weekend? I hope you had a nice time. We had a quiet one, but I did harvest some of my vegetables and made a lovely lunch…
The quiche has spinach from the veg plot and the salad, potatoes and peas are from there too! I can’t quite believe I’ve managed to grow so much as I’ve never been successful in the past. I really think that growing things has helped me to relax in these strange times. What activities have helped you over the last 3 months?
So the suggested schedule for today is as follows...
E.R.I.C. - Everybody Reading in Class for 20 mins
Active time - Joe Wicks is on today or try ‘Believer’ on Go Noodle
Maths/Literacy - do this in batches of 20 mins each, build in breaks.
Geography
Maths
LO: : column addition 2-digits add 2-digits no re-grouping
- 108 + 10 = ?
- Partition 12 in 3 different ways.
- 35 - 7 = ?
- 120 ÷ 10 =
- What number is 9 more than 36?
- Make £2 with 3 coins
Here we have the numbers 23 and 35. Think about how you would add these numbers together…
You could add the tens to make 50 and the ones to make 8 and then slap them together to make 58. Did you think of this way? Good.
Today we’re going to look at a new way of adding two two-digit numbers together by using the ‘column addition’ method.
With this method, it is important that you set your work out really neatly and ensure your numbers are in the correct place value.
There are a few rules with column addition – if you follow them, you’ll be flying! Here goes…
1) Set your numbers out in the correct place value like so…
2) Start from the right hand side – so in our case the ‘ones’ column. Add the ones up and put the total underneath, like this…
3) Now add the ‘tens’ column up and put the number underneath.
Now try this one: 17 + 41 =
Use the column method, check your answer using partitioning (10 + 40 and 7 + 1).
Now try these:
- 24 + 43
- 52 + 17
- 81 + 15
- 34 + 44
- 76 + 23
English
Here are this week’s spellings:
capital
animal
crystal
magical
tropical
festival
sandal
As usual you will find them on Spelling Shed and the transcript for Spelling Planet is here to download.
This week we are going to look at a wonderful Australian author and illustrator – Shaun Tan. You may have come across some of his work before. I really like his unusual, intricate drawings and that some of his books are just pictures, so that you can tell your own story from them.
Today I’d like you to explore Shaun’s website at:
http://www.shauntan.net/about.html
You can have look at all his links but I’d like you to focus on the 'about me' section in order to answer these questions:
- Where did Shaun Tan grow up?
- What degree did he gain?
- In what city does he work now?
- Name three of Shaun’s books.
- Which Pixar film did Shaun work on?
- What award did Shaun win in 2011?
I hope you enjoy finding out about Shaun Tan!
Geography
LO: To explore the physical features and landscapes of Australia.
Do you remember talking about what a physical feature is when we did our Arctic topic? Can you remember what it is? A physical feature is a landmark made by nature and not by humans. Can you think of the physical features you have seen where you live?
Look through this week’s presentation with your adult. Then see how much you can remember by completing this activity:
Stay safe and enjoy your day! Remember Mrs Matthews will be on the blog tomorrow.

So the suggested schedule for today is as follows...
E.R.I.C. - Everybody Reading in Class for 20 mins
Active time - Go Noodle (Have a go at 'Roar' if you can!) or Andy’s Wild Workouts
Maths/Literacy - do this in batches of 20 mins each, build in breaks.
Creative Friday
Maths
LO: Place value
- 203 + 10 = ?
- Partition 10 in 3 different ways.
- 34 – 14 = ?
- 110 ÷ 10 =
- What number is 7 more than 56?
- Make £1.80 with 5 coins
Have a look at these interactive place value cards:
https://www.ictgames.com/mobilePage/arrowCards/
Make the number 124 by clicking on the + or – keys like so:
How would you partition 124? Click on each card to see it partition the number:
From this, we can create the number sentence:
100 + 20 + 4 = 124
Now try with 427. Use the place value cards to help you. Now write the number sentence to go with it. Repeat with 888.
Now try these, remember to write the addition number sentence:
- 567
- 786
- 238
- 472
- 189
- 608
- 320
- 999
English
Today I would like you to draw your own picture of Uluru. You can draw this however you like – felt tips, paints, coloured pencils or even collage. While you are drawing it, think of some words that could describe the rock. Put your words on separate pieces of paper. Some examples might be:
Rugged
Rough
Arid
Deserted
Breath-taking.
Then think of some sentences to describe Uluru – use all your research and knowledge to help you. You can keep these quite simple, some examples could be:
Rising out of the ground.
A giant on the landscape.
Again, write these on separate pieces of paper. Once you have a good number of words and sentences, spread them out in front of you and pair them up. So it might be:
Breath-taking. A giant on the landscape.
Rugged. Rising out of the ground.
Keep going with your word and sentence matching. Play around with the overall order of your work. Once you have completed this, you will have created a descriptive poem to add to your illustration! I look forward to reading yours!
Creative Friday
Have a go at this crossword about Australian animals (if you click on the picture a PDF will open up):
Today looks like it might be quite rainy, so here's a inside creative idea...Make a paper plate Sydney Harbour Bridge.
To make each the bridge you will need:
- paper plate
- two paper cups
- scissors
- black marker
- toothpick
- Australian flag sticker
- tape
You can find the instructions on how to make it here.
Have a fantastic day and send me all your photos by lunchtime to ensure you appear in this week’s gallery.
