Good morning Rabbits and I hope you have taken time to look out of the window at the beautiful sunny day that we have today.

Some of you were having trouble with Education City yesterday and I cannot find out what is wrong – so for today I have set work on different sites to enable you all to keep busy.

English:  Please access BBC Bitesize.  Click on Year 2 or Year 3 and do the English lesson that is prepared for you.

Maths: I have had great feedback about the WhiteRose maths programme – please do today’s lesson from their website.  You still have work set on Mymaths if you wish to do more, or you have any problems with the WhiteRose.  Both sites are working on the same topics.

Spellings: Please remember to copy out your spellings each day.  I have listed them below just to remind you.  Maybe you could copy them out in different ways – use different colours and see how many times you can get the one word written into a shape on the page.  Have some fun with it – but check you are spelling the words correctly!

Year 2: enjoyment sadness careful playful plainness argument merriment happiness plentiful cheerful

Year 3: library February dictionary boundary salary summary primary secondary ordinary necessary

I always remember to spell necessary with this saying “never eat chocolate eat salmon sandwiches and remain young”

Project: More pages for your newspaper.  Yesterday, I asked you to draw a globe – a view of Earth.  Today, I want you to do some detective work and look at the temperatures that are around the world.  These will be shown in numbers and placed over the countries.  Please look at the temperature map below and see if you can compare the temperatures to the places on the map.  With your own globe, put a small triangle on each of the countries and write on the temperature that might be typical in that area.

You could also look at this website to help you.  https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/

Reading:  Reading Eggs and Eggspress have some tasks for you to do with comprehension and reading.  I have also included this link for you to use. https://www.booktrust.org.uk/books-and-reading/have-some-fun/  this page offers readings by Cressida Cowell – How To Train Your Dragon – and other reading activities.

Have a lovely day!

Good Morning Rabbits!  Welcome back to day 2 of the Summer Term.  I really loved seeing the work that some of you have been doing both yesterday and over the Easter holidays.

For today, I have been looking at the many activities and games that are now on line for you.  For this morning, I would like you to do the following:

English:  BBC Bitesize – there is a great grammar game called The Crystal Explorers.  Click on www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics and follow the links through daily lessons to the game.  It will test your knowledge of all or the grammar facts that you should know!  See how you get on.

English: Can you continue your newspaper by writing a letter to the editor, (I know you are also the editor but your letter can be written as another person).  You need to begin the letter “Dear Sir,” and then write about all of the amazing changes that you can see outside.  You might be going for a daily walk, or you might have a garden that you can spend time in and see what flowers are now in bloom or what animals you can see.  Write your letter to tell the editor all about the changes you have seen whilst being at home.  Sign the letter “Yours faithfully,” and make up a great name for yourself.  If you are a bit stuck – I have attached a guideline for your: Letter to Editor

Maths: I have set some tasks on Mymaths and also Education City. These are smaller and not so time-consuming.  If you are struggling with any of these programmes there are also daily lessons on the same topic (fractions) on whiterose maths, many of you are having some issues opening these sites at the moment.

Reading: Reading Eggs and ReadingEggspress are loaded with good books for you all to work through.  Don’t forget to read actual books!  Now is a good time to see if your family have any books on garden birds or trees and plants to help you identify the species that you see in your surroundings.

Project: I would like you to have a go at drawing the globe – the sphere that we call Earth!  You might like to look at these images to help you.   This shows Africa, Arabia and a bit of the south of the UK if you look carefully!

This shows North and South America

See how well you can draw the image, you might draw around a side plate to get the perfect circle and then use your best judgement about how to draw the continents.

When you have drawn your globe you can colour it and keep it safe for tomorrow  –  We will be using it for a weather report!

Have a super day and email me with any problems.

Welcome back to the Summer Term everyone!  I hope you had a wonderful Easter and were able to get out into the sunshine and have fun with your family.  Well we are back to work today and we have some great things that we are going to study while you are at home.

Maths: The clever people from White Rose Maths have put together a wonderful day by day maths class. You need to log on to https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-3/ (for year 3 pupils) and https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-2/ if you are in year 2.  Then continue to follow the clicks to the correct day and follow instructions to complete the maths lessons.

English: I have set up some daily lessons on Education City – these will help you with a range of the English tasks this week and will be a different task each day to cover your comprehension, writing and grammar.  Work through the tasks set for Monday 20th only please.

Reading: I have put up some new resources on Reading Eggs – we would like to start using a new reading website – if you could contact me by email I can let you have your log-in and you can start working on the new set of books that are set for each of you.

Project: As we are back to work today I would also like you to begin a newspaper of your own.  Each day of this week I would like you to add an article to the paper and you will be either writing or drawing a chart, graph or weather map.  Today, I would like your first article to be written about the changes in the environment due to the lock-down.  You can write the report with a headline – a sub-heading and then the information that you can discover from looking at these suggested websites:

https://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/positive-impact-environment-coronavirus-lockdown-a4404751.html

https://www.countryliving.com/uk/wildlife/countryside/a32076758/planet-reacting-positively-global-lockdown/

Other sites show pictures of the clear skies, and clean water in canals – you might also discover something about your local environment, are there more birds singing?  Do you notice the blossom more that you normally would?  You might be able to take photos of your own environment as a picture in your newspaper.

Enjoy your research and look out for some different tasks tomorrow.

Welcome Back!  Mrs Cooke
