Good Morning Class 2,
I am very happy to say that today is our last day of remote learning. Next week we will all be back at school together. It will be so great to see each other and say hello in person.
Below are some learning activities for today.
English
| Learning Objective/Focus: | Story settings | |
| Main input | Today we are going to explore drawing the reader in to your story by creating an amazing setting. | |
| Activities | Choose one of the following settings and write a paragraph to show what it is like. A forest, beach, park, zoo or space. Use lots of adjectives, alliteration, similes, mystery and suspense. | |
| Write a description for a setting of your choice. Include powerful vocabulary and remember short sentences can be effective too. Eg Spring sunshine shimmered on the shiny surface of the pond. Ducklings explored their new environment, bobbing excitedly behind their mother. A heron circled above…. | ||
| Write a detailed description of a story setting for the start of your own story. You could carry your story on, we would love to read them. Add illustrations too. | ||
| Extension Activity Ideas | Turn your setting into a story. Create your own book with a blurb, front cover etc. |
Maths

| Main input | Choose a multiplication table e.g 7X Count forward 7, 14, 21,…. Count back from 84, 77, 70….. | |
| Activities | Design a poster for your given table to include division facts. 7 days in a week, 7 dwarves. Choose a table that will challenge you. You could make up a tune with actions to sing the facts to! | |
| Write out the sequence and see if there’s a pattern ( like the 11x table and the 9x). Think of a way of using this pattern to help you remember the facts quicker. | ||
| Complete the weekly multiplication grid. Are you getting quicker at filling it in? There are some free games on www.themathsfactor.com to help you get quicker at learning multiplication facts. | ||
| Extension Activity Ideas | Explore the 24x table- can you spot a pattern? |

Have a fantastic weekend. Look forward to seeing you Monday!
