| English | Reading |
To memorise a poem / nursery rhyme continuing to build up a repertoire of poems learnt by heart, with appropriate intonation to make the meaning clear |
Re read the poem ‘Dr Foster’. Today you are going to try and learn the poem off by heart and recite it to a family member by heart. You can always video it and send it to us! Challenge: Make up a second verse about another Doctor who visits another place. |
| Writing | To write for different purposes. |
Today you have a choice, you can either: 1. Make a poster or leaflet to help remind members of your home to wash their hands. Put it up in an area that will remind you and others to wash your hands regularly when you come in from outside, for 20 seconds. 2. Make a poster or a leaflet to help people not to waste water in your home. Eg, turning taps off while brushing teeth etc. |

| Maths | To use knowledge of mental maths in real life situations. |
This week you are going to continue to use your knowledge of Maths to play games and complete tasks. Here are today’s activities; 1) Can you solve the mystery – what number am I? a) I have two digits, one digit is more than five, the other is less than 5. b) I am an odd number. c) Both of my digits are odd. What number am I? (There is more than one possible answer – email your answer to your class teacher and they will tell you if your answer is correct). 3) Today, we want you to practice your adding skills. Choose between silver or gold questions. Don’t forget to show your working out. Use the methods you’ve learnt at school (mental knowledge, blank number line, column method, draw Dienes, jottings). The questions are below. 4) If you have time, log onto Education City – go to Y2 – Maths – activities and play one or two of the games. |

To make a healthy snack. |
To finish our week of thinking about water, today we are going to use water to make a snack. We are going to make a selection of ice snacks. Use what you have (ice cube trays, small containers, ice lolly holders) and add fruit, squash or anything else you would like to and then freeze these. How did they turn out? Don’t forget to take some photos to show us! |

Remember to email your child’s class teacher to let them know how you’ve got on. We’d love to see examples of what you’ve been up to.
