Year 2 – Tuesday’s Home Learning

Today we are going to look at an ‘alternative Traditional Tale.’ Listen to ‘The True story of the 3 little pigs’

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vB07RfntTvw

Predict: 

1. What do you think the true story might be?
2. Pause at the point where he runs out of sugar (2mins 15seconds) What do you think the wolf will do?
3. Watch to the point where he gets a ‘tickle in his nose’ (3 mins 3 seconds) What do you think will happen?
4. Watch on to the part where he gets to the brick house (5 mins 40 seconds) predict what will happen next and at the end of the story.

These can be discussion questions with your child. If they would like to record their ideas in sentences, they can. 

1. Should he have eaten the first two pigs?
2. Is it fair that Mr Wolf is in prison?
3. What punishment would you give him?
4. Do you believe Mr Wolf’s story?

Your answers should be full sentences, not one word! Remember to use a clause to extend your ideas, for example:

“I think he was right to eat up the little pigs because…”

“Mr Wolf shouldn’t be in prison but he should be punished.”

“I would make Mr Wolf …. so that…”

Today you are going to be shopkeepers. 

Find some things in your house that you are going to sell. It can be anything you like e.g toys, food or anything you can find. 

First you will need to make some labels for the item in the shops. How much everything costs is up to you. Hint – keep the prices an amount you can make using other coins.

Using the money you had yesterday or you can make some if you need to. 

You need to go to your shop and buy something using more than one coin but making the amount exactly. 

Challenge – Can you use exactly 3 coins to buy something.

Keep your labels as you will be being shopkeepers again tomorrow.  

Can you find out some facts about the history of the Titanic? Use yesterday’s website and other Internet resources to answer these questions;

1) Where was Titanic built?   2) What was the name of the final place (port / city) that Titanic left from on its voyage? 3) Where was Titanic heading on its voyage (which city and country was its destination)? 4) Which year did Titanic make its voyage? 5) What fuel did Titanic use to power its engines? 6) What did Titanic collide with during its journey? 7) What was the name of Titanic’s captain? 8) How long was Titanic (in metres)? 9) How many people were on Titanic during her journey? 10) How many lifeboats did Titanic have?

Good luck!

Please remember – always have a grown up with you when you use Internet resources – keep safe online.
