Video calls

What a busy day chatting to lots of you! It was great seeing all your smiley faces (and that fabulous outfit Hector!) and hear your news. Always the highlight of my week 💛 Looking forward to chatting to the rest of you tomorrow 🙂

Had my catch up with Kayden too but not on video call so no photo this week.  So I’m still doing well remembering the pictures, yay! 🙂

Your work

Aiyub read one of his phonics stories and answered the comprehension questions

Subhan was working on homophones (words which sound the same but are spelled differently) and he also worked on one of his phonics stores and answered the comprehension questions

Hector was building some towers with his rainbow blocks and discussing the construction of his towers and how to make them more sturdy so they wouldn’t blow 

Kit did his Bug Club comprehension independently this morning and continued with a bit more of his fractions worksheet, watched a programme about restoring a painting, continued building his Lego Disney station, made some naan bread and he and Freddie watched his Uncle Tim who became mayor this afternoon 🙂 

Good morning Class 2 💛

I filmed your morning video yesterday when I was in school printing out your new packs so not a live video from this morning today, but you do get to see Class 2 🙂

So here are your 2 PATHS  activities for today (and the next few days) –

• First, here is the PATHS ‘Be Kind’ challenge. Between now and next Wednesday see how many you can tick off  ✅✅✅

• We often enjoy a story as part of our PATHS lessons and this book is about worries. We have learned about the feeling worried in PATHS before and quite a lot of people may be feeling worried just now so this is a great book to read and discuss with your parents just like we would do in class.

Looking forward to speaking to lots of you today and getting all your photos this afternoon 🙂

Rainbow challenge

Thank you to Hector, Subhan and Mariam who took part in the rainbow challenge today, your pictures are great!

Video calls

Fabulous to speak to Bilal and Aiyub today and looking forward to speaking to lots more of you tomorrow 🙂

Your work

Subbhan was working out loads of money calculations today, well done! 

Hector was hugging some trees this afternoon – an activity which some research shows could help you feel better – and exploring outside

Kit read his reading book this morning, did some fractions sums and went for a run 

Mariam made a cool drawing of this tomato man!

Good morning Class 2 💛

There has been quite a bit of rain over the last few days so today’s challenge is rainbow themed 🌈

Here is my rainbow 🙂 I found 4 of each colour but you can find as many as you like!

Can’t wait to see your rainbow pictures later today. The blog will be so colourful 🙂

Bug Hotel

Here is a fun lesson on making a bug hotel which I watched yesterday. This was shared as part of Scottish Learning Disability week as a great sensory inspired art activity by a lady named Caroline.

Lots of you are lucky to have a garden or green space at your house or live near a park so when you are out for your daily exercise see what things you can find and have a go at making a bug hotel of your own in a plant pot or even an old yoghurt carton!

Your weekend photos

Thank you to those of you who sent your weekend photos, it is so nice for your friends to see what you’ve been up to 🙂

Mariam went to Asda and the new B&M store with her family and they bought lots of lovely new things!

 

Kit did the postbox challenge on his bike at the weekend and made a time lapse video of an indoor assault course 

Your work

Aiyub completed some money calculations for his maths work today and also did some comprehension work on his ‘ar’ phonics booklet

 

Kit read some of his book in Bug Club, completed a maths worksheet on alendars and some   and wrote his weekend news and emailed it to me 

Subhan completed lots of maths worksheets today some on addition, subtraction, totalling coins and working out change

Good morning Class 2 💛

So only 4 days of school this week  and then a nice holiday 🙂

I’m going to be giving out points for if you manage to do a literacy and numeracy sheet each day this week (writing your news counts today and then you have lots of literacy and numeracy sheets in your packs) and points for those of you who log in and complete the book and quizzes in bug club as normal.

When I was allocating your new books I could see that Subhan and Huzaifa had logged in to looks their books lots of times which is excellent as the more you read your book the more fluent you’ll become.  Well done Subhan and Huzaifa, I’ve given you both a point! 

Looking forward to getting pictures of your work today and what you got up to at the weekend 🙂

Another week complete! I am looking forward to relaxing this weekend and hopefully completing a bit more of my challenging Harris jigsaw that I showed some of you this week 🙂

National Shades Day

Thank you to everyone who sent in  a photo for our sunglasses picture gallery 😎 Looking cool!

Video Call

Lovely to see Kayden today for the first time in almost 2 weeks 🙂 So pleased to have seen and chatted to you all this week. Already looking forward to seeing you all again next week ❤️

Your work

Hector did some research on rockets and wrote down some interesting facts

Aiyub worked on some comprehension questions 

Kit did some Sumdog and went for a ride on his bike 

Message from Isaac

Isaac has been emailing me and sent this lovely photo of some stars on his wall that he asked me to share with you.

He also asked if you would please leave him a comment on the blog so he can read your messages when he comes to look at the best class blog in the world, Class 2 🙂

Special video for Mrs Creevy

Mrs Creevy absolutely loved the video we made for her last day of work today. Here is the video of all your messages put together that was shared with her at her virtual baby shower this afternoon 🙂

Have a fabulous weekend and I’ll see you next week 🙂

Good morning Class 2 💛 Happy Friday to you all 🙂

Looking forward to seeing photos of your shades, your work and anything else you’ve been getting up to today 🙂

Let me know if you listen to these next few chapters and which your favourite reading voice is 🙂

Blog comments

Remember to be looking in the comments on each blog post to see messages from your friends and staff at St Albert’s. You can also leave messages for your friends to help stay in touch which is so important just now while we are apart.

You received a very lovely compliment on ‘Day 26 work’ so go and have a look at who (apart form me!) thinks you are fabulous 🙂 Huzaifa got a well deserved special mention but it’s a fabulous compliment for the whole class too!

Video calls

Lovely to speak with Kit and Hector today and hopefully chat to Kayden tomorrow. Still on a roll with the photos! 🙂

Your work

Hector has a Lego day and made this very cool boat

Kit did some maths on Sumdog, worked on some Lego and helped Freddie with his Disney homework showing off his vast knowledge of Disney facts!

Aiyub chose the Mulan song from the Disney challenge and we discussed the comprehension questions together on the phone (well done again Aiyub for choosing some harder questions to challenge yourself!). He also shared some of the maths and literacy work he did for Kumon.

Good morning Class 2 💛 Today you have a Disney themed challenge – my favourite!

After lots of maths yesterday, today’s task focus is on literacy –  talking and listening, reading and writing.

Whatever way you choose to explore the Disney comprehension I look forward to seeing your photos later today. Here are the 4 songs to choose from for your Disney song comprehension challenge   🙂

Here is the document to see the Disney music comprehension challenge as this may be clearer than the photos.

Disney Music comprehension

So you can either –

1. Listen to the song and discuss it and the questions with someone in your house (Talking and listening)

2. Read the song lyrics and chat about what they mean (Reading)

3. Listen to or read the song and then write your answers to the comprehension questions in your jotter (Writing)

Or you could be super duper amazing and do all 3 things! 🌟

Remember if you use the QR code it will take you straight to a video of the song for you to watch on a phone or tablet/iPad.

Have a lovely day 🙂
