Class 2 -2019/20

Good morning Class 2 💛

So a poster challenge today to inform people about the rules of the virus now we are into Phase 1. Here are some handy visuals that may help remind you of the rules and could help you with spelling some words for your poster –

You are all fabulous at art so I can’t wait to see what you make!

Remember to send me photos of your poster and any other work you do today so I can keep awarding these points, I have given out loads this week so far and we’re not even halfway through the week!

Have a happy Wednesday 🙂

Video calls

I had a lovely chat with Ross and Khadija (and their parents) today as part of their transition to Class 2 🙂

Ross holding the lovely stone picture of me and him that he made during the call, what a super multi tasker!

Big smiles from Khadija after I showed her my Disney DVD collection 🙂

I know we are all looking forward to being able to welcome them properly into the Class 2 classroom 😊

I’m also very much looking forward to calling lots of you lovely current Class 2 pupils tomorrow for our catch up 🌟

Clocks, clocks, clocks ⏰

Thank you to those of you who participated in the clock challenge today on ⏰Time Tuesday⏰ – fascinating to see all the different time telling devices we have in our homes!

Hector found 17 time telling devices in his house, the majority were digital

Aiyub had 6 clocks and the majority of his were analogue 

Your work

Kit was out on his bike exercising yesterday and saw Haggis, a familiar face to Class 2!

Ivo coloured in this very nice Lego Batman picture today 🙂 

Hector practiced his o’clock and half past times online and then used this great teaching clock to learn setting the time for other times just like we do in Class 2

Subhan was extremely busy today – he did a time worksheet and an addition worksheet, completed his entire comprehension workbook and completed the Sumdog challenge

Good morning Class 2 💛

Here are my findings from my clock treasure hunt this morning –

You have lots of time worksheets to choose from in your new packs and there is the Sumdog Challenge for you to complete before Friday.

Time games

Here are some games we’ve used in class to help you revise your time telling skills, both analogue and digital –

Weekend news photos

Hector watched the Space X rocket launch this weekend and had his first social distance visit in their back garden with his dad’s cousin Linda 🙂

More reading information! 📚

Bug Club Points

You also have your Bug Club book to be reading and the online questions to complete in the book. Your paper comprehension booklet is in your new pack which will hopefully be delivered soon.

Remember you get a point if you read the whole book online and answer all the bug questions and get another point if you complete your paper comprehension booklet that is in your pack, so lots of points up for grabs!

Ickabog

Here is an extra thing to look at that may be of interest to you Harry Potter fans!

On Tuesday this week, JK Rowling, the author of Harry Potter, started releasing chapters of a fantastic new children’s book she will release later this year.

You cannot buy the book yet but she is letting everyone have a sneak peek for free by releasing chapters each day on this website!

https://www.theickabog.com/home/

This is a more challenging book than some of you would read by yourselves but you can ask an adult to read it to you or if you have an iPad you can highlight the text and get it to read the words to you.

JK Rowling is asking children to illustrate her book and draw pictures of what they think the Ickabog looks like. Lots of you are great at drawing so maybe after reading the chapters of Ickabog so far (chapter 2 is the best for details on the Ickabog) you could have a go at drawing what you think it looks like 🙂

 

Loads of things you can be doing today, can’t wait to see what you choose to get up to and see your photos this afternoon! Have a super Thursday 🙂

 

Video calls

Fabulous to catch up with so many of you today, I just love seeing your beautiful smiley faces and hearing your news 🙂 Always the highlight of my week! Will speak to the rest of you very soon.

PATHS ‘Be kind’ challenge

Well done to Subhan who has been working on the Be Kind challenge over the last week and completed 5 of the activities, you won a point!

Your work

Ivo made this fabulous video of him and his sister Ava playing with their neighbours cats on his mum’s phone independently – well done Ivo! He also decorated this beautiful picture of him and his mum 🙂 

 

Aiyub completed a 4 square Sudoku

Subhan worked on a 4 square and challenged himself with a 6 square Sudoku and completed a fantastic amount of money addition sums

 

Hector created a Harry Potter character alphabet, was watching the BT man do some repairs and found a teeny tiny spider outside 🙂
