Here are the Lego challenges from yesterday! I am very impressed everyone! Remember you don't have to use just Lego, it can be any construction material, I am using recycled materials to make my model today …

Today's 6 questions...
- 7 + 28 =
- 67 – ? = 23
- 6 + 30 + 4 =
- 40 ÷ 10 =
- Write one hundred in digits.
- ½ of 40 =
For today's game you'll need two 0-9 dice - now I'm thinking that most of us won't have these at home (even I don't have these!!), however I've found a great virtual dice website here. Make sure you choose two dice, and turn off the adding automatically - you need to do that bit! So the game is called traffic lights, you can download your game sheet by click on the 'traffic lights'. Play with your adult or someone else at home, choose any 3 numbers on your sheet and ring them. Now roll two 0 to 9 dice using the virtual dice, and find the total. If the total is one of your three numbers, then colour the top light in red. Continue until 1 pair has completely coloured one of your three lights red, amber (orange) and green.
Which numbers appear to be good to choose? Why? Which numbers were not so good to choose?! I hope you have fun with this!
Literacy
What ideas did you come up with yesterday? Did you talk about the fact that lots of traditional tales start with 'Once upon a time' and end with 'And they all lived happily ever after...'? Lots of traditional tales have characters that are rich and those that are poor, some involve magic and evil sometimes. Lots of tales involve three things - three little pigs, three bears, three wishes, three billy goats gruff - three really is a magic number! They often involve an unlikely hero - think about Jack in Jack and the Beanstalk, they can have nasty parents (a little bit Roald Dahl books!). Many tales also include repetition of a phrase or words - 'I'll huff and I'll puff', 'Who's that trip, trapping on MY bridge!' - you get the idea. There's definitely a recipe for a traditional tale and these are just some of the ingredients!
So this week we are going to write the story of The Great Fire of London in the style of a traditional tale. We can use all the historical knowledge we have about the event but add some twists and traditional tale elements to it, so not everything in our story has to be true!
First of all, we need to think about our main character. This needs to be an unlikely hero – it could be a girl or a boy but NOT someone we already know from the time (like Thomas Farriner or Samuel Pepys) – this is YOUR character. Use the character frame to design you character and describe him/her. Then tomorrow we shall plan what will happen in our story!
P.E.
Can you create your very own exercise video to help keep people fit while everyone is at home? You will need to introduce the activity, explain how to complete it, then keep motivating the viewers throughout. Please send these in as I would love to put them on the school blog for everyone to see and use! Miss H :)
Music
Can you make a piece of music using different body parts? Record this as a graphic score. A template you could use is here.
Here is the challenge from Miss H for today! Remember to email us your creations! If you don't have Lego, don't worry any construction material will do ...
Have a great day and remember that you need to keep positive and if you need a break then take one!

Hello from Mr Curly Wurly
admin on: Class 2
Woof Woof!
Hello to all the children and staff at Netherthong Primary School,
It's Mr Curly Wurly here and I want to say hello to you all.
Lots of things are different for me at the moment and I've heard it's different for you too so I hope you're all ok and staying safe. I miss you all and hopefully very soon I'll get to see you again. I'm very happy that we've got sausages and my toys at home to play with because we have to stay at home for a while. Sometimes I'm reading books too especially when there's a dog in the story. I'm getting very good at drawing and shapes.
I'm thinking about you all and your families.
I hope to see you soon and take care of yourselves.
Love and paws
Mr Curly Wurly

Happy Monday everybody. I hope you are well and have had a nice relaxing weekend. I've been busy doing lots of tidying and sorting jobs. I've even sorted out all of Ed and Will's books into alphabetical order - I'm not sure what's happened to me! I've decided that we could open our own library and there's no chance we are going to run our of things to read. What have you been up to? Another idea that we've started is a 'wishing jar'. Every time we think of something that we wish we could do, for example, 'go swimming' or 'search in rock pools', we are writing them down and popping them into the jar. Then when we can do those things, we'll remember what we wished for. Anyway, onto today's learning and your possible 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 (have your legs been hurting? Mine have!)

Maths/Literacy - do this in batches of 20 mins each, build in breaks.
Break - make sure you get some fresh air, wrap up warm if you need to.

Today's 6 questions...
- 7 + 35 =
- 45 – ? = 18
- 3 + 17 + 8 =
- 10 ÷ 2 =
- Write ninety-nine in digits.
- ½ of 18 =
Today I'd like you to play the 'roll a penny' game. You can download a grid here. The idea is that you roll a penny, make a note of the amount it lands on. Roll again and then add the two amounts together, roll again and add that amount. Play in pairs, the one that get nearest £1 is the winner.
Literacy
This week's spelling words are:
shy
sky
dry
cry
fly
reply
terrify
horrify
multiply
butterfly
Please can you write them out in your yellow book and then use them in sentences. I've put these onto Spelling Shed and the transcript from Spelling Planet is here for you to read (and act out!).
Then I'd like you to play a game of 'traditional tale tennis'. You need to play with an adult. The idea is that you think of a traditional tale - 'Three Little Pigs', then the next person thinks of another 'Red Riding Hood'. Keep going, don't repeat any. How many can you think of? Now have a conversation about what makes a traditional tale? What do they have in common? Perhaps you can add some of your thoughts about traditional tales to the comments on this thread? This activity will help you with your work tomorrow.
History
Our Great Fire of London topic is coming to an end. Have a look at this presentation which recaps everything we have learned. Then have a go at creating your own acrostic poem using this writing frame. You only need to think of one word for each line, starting with the letters spelling out 'Great Fire'.
Science
Now Toby and his dad have been doing some star gazing. One positive thing at the moment is that there is less light pollution and very few planes in the sky. This means it's easier to spot the stars and planets (Venus is very bright and visible at the moment). The International Space Station is also clearly visible at different times - you can download an app to let you know when it will be passing over us. Here are some constellation activities you may wish to have a go at and then you could try to spot them in the sky - it will come dark at about 7:45pm, so you may have to wait till the weekend to do lots of star spotting.
Here is the challenge from Miss H for today! Remember to email us your creations! If you don't have Lego, don't worry any construction material will do ...
I hope you have lots of fun with the activities I've planned for today. Remember to keep sending in your photos and I'll post them at the end of the week.

Homework 27/3/2020
admin on: Class 2
Hi guys!
I hope you've had a great day. Thank you for all your wonderful emails, updating me on all your adventures - they are certainly keeping my smiling! Here are just a few of the pictures you've been sending in. Isn't it nice to know that everyone is working hard?
I love Martha's butterfly at the bottom there, I think I might have to do something like that at home.
This week has been busy for me, I have been in school three days and then at home for two with the boys. Will is very enthusiastic about his work, but Ed finds it hard to concentrate! We've done lots of reading though and plenty of maths. We've made the most of the good weather and today, we even planted to some seeds - so I'll keep you informed about their progress (I'm not very green fingered!).
Anyway, homework is to keep washing those hands, keep smiling and be ready for more fun next week - I hope that you can all do these things!
Take care and missing you loads.
Mrs B xx
