Hi Chaffinches,
I hope you are well. Thank you so much for the work and messages that you’ve sent to me. I’m really proud of you and how you’ve handled working at home. I’ve loved hearing some of you read via video message. The Being Kind posters you’ve sent are really lovely and thoughtful. There has been some great art work sent in too.
I do miss seeing your smiley faces, so please keep sending in the photos 🙂
Right now I’m busy studying your handwriting in the letters that have been sent to me: I will be awarding some pen licences later.
Please continue with Active learn for reading, and the Oak Academy for other lessons: there are some great topics for learning on there.
Maths
Please work hard to know your 2x, 5x and 10x tables and learn to derive divisions from them. If you are confident in those, then move on to 3x, 4x and 8x tables: those are the ones we’ll start with in Year 3.
Also, make sure you can tell and write the time to five minutes, including quarter past, to the hour and quarter to. If you aren’t confident with this, then please focus on it this week.
English
If you are learning from the Oak Academy you will be writing a recount at the end of the week, Why don’t you all have a go at writing a recount about somewhere you’ve visited, now that many places are open? I’ll write the opening to my recount of a place I visited yesterday.
Yesterday, I visited the Yorkshire Wildlife Park with Mr Adams and my daughter, Amy. We visited this wonderful place because I love the conservation work they do there to help endangered species of animals. Another reason I wanted to visit there was because I wanted to see one of my favourite wild animals, the meerkat.
Spellings
Tricky words!
there
their
they’re
your
you’re
too
two
buy
by
bye
Practice spelling them and then write them in a sentence, making sure to use the correct spelling.
Eg. The dogs ate all of their biscuits and were ready for some more.
Look over there at that beautiful sunset!
What is your favourite colour?
I think you’re great!
Take care Chaffinches and keep sending me in your work and messages!
Love from Mrs Adams 🙂
