A very sunny good morning to you all!
Well wasn’t it hot yesterday! It is meant to be just as hot today if not even hotter so stay safe! At the weekend, we went for a walk with some incredible views in Marsden. While on the walk, I saw this and had to share it with you …
Don’t you just love the hair on these characters?!
Here's the suggested timetable:
E.R.I.C. - Everybody Reading in Class for 20mins (remember to record your reading in your reading record)
Active time - Joe Wicks is showing guiding a PE lesson at 9am (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAxW1XT0iEJo0TYlRfn6rYQ)
Don’t forget GoNoodle:

Break – Spend some time in the shade and make a picture using natural materials.
PE

Today, we are going to look at world habitats. Do you remember how plants and animals rely on the environment around them to provide them with everything they need? This means they have to live somewhere that has the right conditions to help them stay alive and well. Because different places around the world have different conditions, the plants and animals that live there are different too.
Here is a PowerPoint about different habits from around the world.
You are going to do some research about habitats. Researching means finding out more information about something you are interested in.
Here is a sheet to help you write down your research.
PSHE
What lovely weather we are having at the moment! As we approach summer and the warmer weather, we need to be careful! Here is a PowerPoint about how to keep safe in the weather.
Can you make some posters that we could share with everyone about how to keep safe in this very hot sun?
PE
In PE we are going to carry on with Paralympic sports!
Today, I would like you to have a go at boccia. Here is a video which explains what boccia is:

Have a go at this at home, you could use any balls you like or if you don’t have any, you could always use a ball of socks like in our SockPutt. How will you keep score? Let us know who wins!
Computing
Can you hear that sound? It is the sound of million and millions of people going wild for your music! Make a piece of music today to match the weather, here is one that makes me think of summer:

Have lovey day in the sun but remember to stay safe!

Good morning Class 2! I hope that you are OK today. A huge thank you to Mrs Matthews for taking over the blog yesterday as part of our transition work. I hope you enjoyed doing the work and I have been telling her all about you and how fantastic you are!
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 ‘Popping Bubbles’ – but it’s difficult to get the song out of your head – you have been warned!
Maths/Literacy - do this in batches of 20 mins each, build in breaks.
R.E.
Maths
LO: Round 2-digit numbers to nearest 10.
- 120 + 32 = ?
- Partition 7 in 3 different ways.
- 78 - 27 = ?
- 70 ÷ 10 =
- What number is 8 more than 37?
- Make £1.50 with 3 coins
On Monday, you were placing numbers on a number line. It helped to think about which ten number your numbers were closer to. You were really ‘rounding to the nearest 10’.
Have a look at this 0–10 number line. Point to 3: Is this closer to 0 or 10?
How about 8? Is this closer to 0 or 10? How about 4? Is this closer to 0 or 10? How about 5? Is this closer to 0 or 10? This is a trick one - although 5 is in the middle, mathematicians have decided (so that we all do the same thing) that we will round 5 up to the 10 above.
Look at this 30–40 number line. Mark 33 on the line. Is this closer to 30 or 40? What is 33 rounded to the nearest 10? Repeat for 38, 32, then 35 (remember the rule!)
Now generate a 2-digit number by rolling a 1–9 dice twice or use number cards or you can use this number wheel: https://wordwall.net/resource/43862/maths/two-digit-number-wheel
Then, round your number to the nearest 10! Repeat.

First of all, have a go at this alphabetical order challenge:
How did your research on Uluru go on Monday? It really is the most fascinating place. If you didn’t get chance to have a look into this mysterious landmark, then here is some more information for you to read today. There is a Powerpoint presentation – perhaps this includes some of your own facts?
Here is a sheet with some questions to answer - adults, the answers are at the end of the PDF!
R.E.
LO: What are the stories about Jesus healing and caring for people?
What are the stories about Jesus healing and caring for people? Have a look at this clip:
Reflect upon the changes that Jesus bought to the man’s life. Think of some ways in which Christians and other people can show care for the sick today, especially during the pandemic. What might you do to make someone feel better?
I hope you have a wonderful day! Keep smiling!

Good morning class 2!
It's Mrs Matthews here! I'm so excited to be adding my very first blog to you all! For the next 4 Tuesdays it will be me blogging!! I'm hoping it will give me a great opportunity to begin to get to know you all. I'm looking forwards to an exciting, fun and active year with you all next year!
Here are today's activities; have fun and be as creative as you can!
Literacy;
I'd really like to get to know you all. Please can you create a bright, colourful poster that tells me all about you. The design of your poster is entirely up to you, but it needs to tell me as much as possible about you. You could perhaps create an image of yourself on your poster (or add a photo) and add information such as who is in your family, your pets, your interests and hobbies, favourite places to visit etc.
Try and make sure it's really neat and tidy and use your very best handwriting and colouring!!
Art;
Please can you take your time and create a picture of you and your family. You could you crayons, felt pens, pastels or paints; whatever you like! If you like you could send me a photo of your family to add to your picture and we could create a lovely display in class 3 for when you all begin in Autumn!
Maths:
8 questions
- 34 + 25
- 72 - 31
- 6 x 3
- 7 x 5
- How many 10's in 234?
- How many 100's in 546
- How many ones in 654
- Half of 44
Problem to solve;
Mrs Barker went to the supermarket at 4 o'clock. If she got home 2 hours later, what time did she get back?
Activity;
Who likes making things? I definitely do! Please could you make yourself a clock face. Class 3 made one at the beginning of 'lockdown' and it has really helped them with telling the time!
Create your very own design!
You will need;
Card for the hands
Scissors
Paper plate (or card) for the face
Split pin or blue tac
Felt pens
Take your time and make it as accurate as you can and make it lovely and colourful!
Then, most importantly, use your clock to practise making the time! See if you can begin with o'clock, half past, quarter to and past and if you can, try 5 past, 10 past etc. Have fun!
Reading;
Find a cosy corner or make a reading den in the garden and share a book with Mum or Dad. Take turns to read to each other! Remember to try and read with exciting expression and ask them to ask you questions about the book after you've read. Could you find the answers in the book? Can Mum or Dad answer questions on the book they have read to you too?!!
Have a great day and please send me some photos of your activities. I'd love to hear from you all!
I'll be back in touch next Tuesday!
See you soon,
Mrs Matthews

Good morning my lovely Year 2 class, how was your weekend? It was a real mixed bag with the weather but we managed to get a lovely walk on the canal between Marsden and Slaithwaite, topped off with fish and chips, which is always a treat! We also had movie night and watched the new Dr Doolittle.
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 ‘Saved by the Bell’ on Go Noodle
Maths/Literacy - do this in batches of 20 mins each, build in breaks.

Maths
LO: Place 2-digit numbers on a number line.
- 67 + 13 = ?
- Partition 5 in 3 different ways.
- 65 - 17 = ?
- 30 ÷ 10 =
- What number is 5 more than 65?
- Make £1.20 with 3 coins
Look at this number line with numbers from 0–100 (it would be useful if you could print it out or redraw in your book).
Where should we mark 47? What number might it be useful to place on the line to help?
Where is 27 on this line? What number might it be useful to place on the line to help? And where is 25 (or 30) on the line…? Try these: where is 70 on this line? Is it nearer 50 or 100? Now mark on all multiples of 10.
If you have more people at home, get one person to have a piece of paper with ‘0’ written on it, and another person with 100 written on a piece of paper (alternatively you could blu-tac the numbers to the wall). So if you are standing well apart from one another – you’ve now got a human number line!
Write a two digit number on another piece of paper and stand where you think this number might be between 0 and 100. Keep going with new numbers.

Here are this week’s spellings:

As usual you will find them on Spelling Shed and the transcript for Spelling Planet is here to download.
Today we are going to read another story from Stories from the Billabong by James Vance Marshall and Francis Firebrace. Our story this week is called ‘The Lizard-Man and the Creation of Uluru’.
Read the story with your adult, discuss your thoughts about it. Today I’d like you to find out more about Uluru using the Internet and perhaps some books at home. I know many of you have Australian connections or know people who have visited the country – perhaps they can help you with your research?
Whilst you read about Uluru and learn all about it, can you find out the answers to these questions:
- What did Uluru used to be called?
- What is the circumference of the rock?
- When do scientists think it was formed?
- In our story, Aboriginals thinks the rock was created by Lizard-man, but what do other Aboriginals think?
- When did the ownership of the rock return to the Aboriginal people?
- Can you climb Uluru?

LO: To explore what Christmas is like in Australia compared to the UK.
We may have celebrated the longest day yesterday, but today we’re going to think ahead to Christmas and see how Australians celebrate this tradition. Take a look at this week’s presentation and then try this sorting activity:
Check back here tomorrow for a special guest blogger on the Year 2 blog! Stay safe and enjoy your day!
