Lovely to chat with some of you today and hear about your holiday weekends. Doing well remembering my photos this week so far 🙂

Holiday weekend photos/videos

Thank you to those of you who shared some pictures from your holiday weekend. I know your friends enjoy seeing what you are up to!

Bilal was doing some more fabulous art work over the holiday weekend

Hector and his family had a go at some of the science experiments Miss Cohen had posted on the St Albert’s YouTube page. They did a supersize version which was unsuccessful but were resilient and kept trying resulting in success in the house! Well done 🙂 Hector was also busy building and painting some planters, running and using his parachute toy he won from the prize box!

 

Kit was working hard on his jigsaw this weekend and finished it, he went to the park and saw dome fish in the pond, he also started and finished some Lego and they went out to watch their neighbour checking on their bees – cool!

Your work

Aiyub completed some emoji maths today from his learning pack

Hector wrote an excellent holiday news today using lots of good openers and connectives and also did some mental maths work with his dad thinking about estimating and then doing a calculation to work out the answer

 

Kit completed part of his comprehension work on his reading book, did some Sumdog for maths and typed up his weekend news on the iPad 

Welcome back! Hope you had a lovely holiday weekend 🙂

Looking forward to getting your news and pictures today! Thank you to those of you who have started sending me these already. I will post them all on this afternoon’s blog post along with the photos of your work today 🙂

Video calls

So lovely to speak with more of you today. It definitely helps me miss you less speaking to you so often. I’m already looking forward to our chats next week 🙂

Your work

Subhan worked with his mum to make these fabulous elephants, practiced his maths on Sumdog and completed one of his phonics workbooks revising the ‘sh’ sound

Aiyub created an elephant craft without a toilet roll holder, instead making the cylinder by rolling paper! Very innovative Aiyub, well done!

 

Hector was increasing his history knowledge again today, watching some Bitesize lessons on the Battle of Loudown Hill 1307 and then looking at map symbols to create his own version of a battle map, fantastic! He was also very happy to receive an end of the week point for his super writing on Victorian inventions 🙂  

Kit did some of his comprehension booklet, practiced his maths on Sumdog and went for a cycle 🙂

Points

So much great work again this week, I am so proud, well done!

I gave a point to everyone who completed the new Sumdog challenge (Aiyub, Kit, Huzaifa) and the points for most time on Sumdog and most correct answers this week went to Huzaifa. Well done to you all!

Final points chart of the week  –

Some nice books for the holiday weekend

Here is a really lovely story that you may like to read over the holiday with your families which explains why you are all superheroes for staying at home just now ❤

 

This lovely book talks about different feelings we are all having in lockdown and reminds us it is ok not to be ok ❤

As always, looking forward to seeing your pictures of your learning and what you get up to today 🙂

Exciting  Wizarding World news

A few weeks ago I posted a link to Wizarding World, the new Harry Potter at home website. ⚡

Exciting news yesterday that lots of Wizarding World stars are going to be reading the first book ‘The Philosophers Stone’, starting with Daniel Radcliffe reading Chapter 1.

I absolutely loved listening to this last night, all cosy in my blanket, so I wanted to share it with you all in case you want to snuggle down and enjoy listening to it too! There are lots of games and quizzes you can play as well  🙂

Elephants 🐘

Well done to those of you who took part in the elephant research task today.

Subhan noted down some great information from the research he did today and earned himself a point, well done!

I sent this work on to Miss Brooks who was so impressed she is going to include it in the work she uploads to Eco Schools Scotland (the people who give the schools our green flags!)  She said to say a big well done 🙂

Well done also to Kit who read about elephants as part of his learning today.

 Your work

Ivo got some lovely new pyjamas and helped his mum change his bed sheets, such an important job, well done!

Bilal sent this photo of himself staying safe wearing a mask

Aiyub was working on some 6 digit addition from his old work pack and doing some comprehension corrections in his phonics booklet today 

Huzaifa made this fantastic video all about staying safe during the Coronavirus  🌟 He worked on this independently, writing the script for his video by himself and being so confident delivering his presentation while his brother filmed him – I am so proud Huzaifa, well done again!

Hector made this lovely drawing today – so many great artists in class 2! 🧑‍🎨

Kit completed his new reading book today and also completed this weeks new Sumdog challenge, getting 99% accuracy!

Subhan was reading his Bug Club book outside and completed all the quizzes too, as well as practising handwriting for the letter o and O

Very impressive work as always Class 2, you’re doing such amazing things, well done! Already looking forward to what you get up to tomorrow. Have a lovely evening 🙂

 

 

Good morning Class 2 💛

Here is your morning video –

Here is the link to WWF website for you to research a bit more about elephants – https://www.worldwildlife.org/species/elephant

You can choose what activity you’d like to do – write down 3 new facts you learned about elephants, design and make a poster about why elephants are so important and need protecting or create a video explaining what you’ve learned about elephants or why they need our help.

Looking forward to seeing your elephant themed work later today 🐘

A very exciting video message arrived last night, from a good friend of Class 2 🙂
