Good Morning Primary 2. Hope you are well today and ready to enjoy your learning activities this morning.

Today is Friday 24th of April

Wake and shake yourself up with this dance before we get started.

Handwriting

Click on the link below. There are a number of handwriting sheets with the first 100 high frequency words. You can do one sheet or as many as you you would like. Remember it is quality not quantity. If you are able you can print them or just copy a page neatly into your jotter.

Don’t forget

Your writing should sit on the line.
The dotted line is there to help you make all your letters the same size.
Tall letters reach to the top blue line and the tails touch the bottom blue line.

Reading

Listen to this story called Troll by Julia Donaldson.

Task 1 – Time to talk

Explain to someone at home what your favourite part of the story was.
Was there anything you didn’t like about the story?
What did the story make you think of? Did a question come to mind whilst you were listening to it? Was there anything that puzzled you about the story?
Near the end of the story, when the troll was on the plank, why do you think it said that Hank Chief looked at the troll in a new way?’

Task 2 – MAPPING IT ALL OUT

Have a go at drawing a map of one or all of the places or islands from the story you have just listened to . See how much detail you can include. Discuss your map with someone at home so you can add more detail if necessary.

Here are some pictures of treasure maps to give you some ideas.

If you are feeling adventurous you could try this, but you will definitely need AN ADULT TO HELP YOU. DO NOT TRY IT ALONE.

A successful map should have:

Title
Lots of detail of the places discussed in the story. You may need to listen to parts of the story again.
Label the places you have drawn
Colour neatly
