Good morning Class 2! I hope everyone is OK today. I’m sure that you are aware that it is the V.E. Day celebrations on Friday and a bank holiday. I’ll still be doing a blog that day with lots of V.E. suggestions but will respond to your emails on the Monday. Perhaps you can get thinking about what you could do on the day. Many people are trying to organise their own afternoon teas, I think I might have a go at that too. There are some nice ideas here, that you might want to start looking at.
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 showing a PE lesson at 9am or Go Noodle
Maths/Literacy - do this in batches of 20 mins each, build in breaks.
Music
P.E.
Maths
LO: Add/Subtract pairs of 2-digit numbers
- 75 + 14 =
- 78 – ? = 19
- £1 – 78p =
- 60 ÷ 5 =
- Write fifty in digits.
- Partition 164 into 100s, 10s and 1s.
How did you get on yesterday with your subtraction? Today, I’d like you to practise these skills and your addition skills with wordy problems. You will need to write down the number sentence and then perhaps show your working (for some of them, you might do your working in your head) . Let’s have a look at number 1 together: Jake buys an apple for 36p, he has 42p in his wallet, how much does he have left?
See how you get on with the rest:
English
I thought it might be nice to do a Litz Blitz today! Have a go at these:
1) What type of word is underlined:
Quickly, Mrs Barker ran around the playground.
2) Write in the 5 missing capital letters:
on friday it will be v.e. day.
3) Which word means to be glad or reassured:
relieved reflected repeated
4) Fill in the missing word:
Peter will _________ the car.
5|) Make the contraction for were not.
Now here is the rest of the story from yesterday…
Have a read of this with your adult. Look at the beautiful pictures, discuss what you like about the story. Can you ‘summarise’ what happens in the story to your adult – just the bones of the story not the details.
Now, I haven’t shown you the blurb on the back of the book. I’d like you to think about what would be a good blurb for this book. Remember, the blurb needs to be short and to the point but also persuade people to read the whole book! Here are some examples:
Have a go yourself, use some of your own books at home to 'magpie' some more ideas.
Music
Last week you used PurpleMash to compose your own seaside tune. I would like you to find some objects in your house to use as instruments to accompany your composition. Remember that our voices are instruments as well! Use the waves, wind, birds and even people as your inspiration! Try using a graphic score to write your ideas down. Here is an example. Send us some pictures of you with the objects you choose and even videos of your compositions. We will love to hear them!
PE
How did your trail making go last week? Could they find all of the hidden clues/letters/numbers? I would like you to do the same this week except, I would like you to blindfold the person who is going to be hunting for the objects. You will need to give clear instructions, using your positional vocabulary, to direct them to the objects. Good luck!
Enjoy your Tuesday! See you back here tomorrow.
Stay safe.

Woof to you all!

I hope you are all ok and staying safe. I'm still staying at home. We are having fun and having extra cuddles here.
I had a really special weekend because it was my 10th birthday! Wow, I ate so many sausages! I had loads of balloons, a sausage cake and a dinosaur party with games! We even had dog music, my favourite. Lucky for me the weather was lovely and we got to have a picnic in our garden. I wore a party hat but only for a few minutes because it made my ears tickle. My family asked me to wait to open my presents until the morning and it was hard because I could sniff the tasty treats inside! Afterwards, I had a lovely long sleep and dreamt about running and barking to the hokey cokey. I enjoy that dance and know all of the moves.
I can't wait until I see you again at school and we can chat about our time staying at home and all the things we've done with our families. I hope you and your families are ok and hope to see you woofy soon.
Love and paws,
Mr Curly Wurly xxx

Monday is here again! I hope you’ve had a wonderful weekend. It’s Mr B’s birthday today, so I’m hoping that the boys are making his day special whilst I’m in school. We did make some chocolate brownies yesterday after Toby and Millie inspired me, so I have those to look forward to later on!
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 showing a PE lesson at 9am or Go Noodle
Maths/Literacy - do this in batches of 20 mins each, build in breaks.
History
Maths
LO: Subtract by counting up or counting back.
- 32 + 67 =
- 30 - 17 =
- £1 – 36p =
- 10 ÷ 2 =
- Write thirty in digits.
- Partition 178 into 100s, 10s and 1s
I have 87p in my purse and want to spend 33p. How much money will I have left? What number sentence could I write for this problem…
87p – 33p =
Can you think about the methods we have in our maths tool kit to solve this number sentence? We could count back from 87, 3 lots of 10 (77, 67, 57) and then count back 3 (56, 55, 54) so we get the answer 54. We could also use the number line counting up method…
Use this number generator to make your own two-digit numbers. Remember to subtract the smaller number from the bigger number. Use the best method for your number sentence – either counting back or number line. How many number sentences can you complete in 20 minutes?
English
Here are this week’s spellings:
rattle
simple
triangle
middle
giggle
table
purple
bubble
jingle
shuttle
tickle
kettle
As usual you will find them on Spelling Shed and the transcript for Spelling Planet is here to download.
I received some of your descriptions from last week via email. They were amazing! I know that using the ABC technique was a challenge but it really did give your writing the ‘wow’ factor. If you haven’t sent me yours yet, please do!
It’s time to start the story! Read these pages with your adult up until the part where it says...But they could not get out.
Can you ‘see’ the storm happening in your imagination? Describe this picture to your adult. Which words did you like?
Now I’d like you to draw or paint a picture of the storm.
History
LO: To find out when and how seaside holidays became popular
What do you most like about going to the seaside? Going to the seaside for a holiday hasn’t always been something that people did. Have a look at this presentation. Why did trains make going to the seaside more popular? Why was it only rich people to begin with who went to the seaside? Why did people think going to the seaside was good for you?
Have a look at this information sheet then complete the sentences on worksheet 3A using the words in the word box or choose worksheet 3B and answer the questions.
Stay safe!

Homework this weekend is to rest and be thankful and have a listen to this... (please don't be too critical, this was my first time doing this sort of thing and with a house full of noisy boys it wasn't that easy!)...
