This week P2 have been reading ‘The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch’. We created our own amazing Mr Grinling pictures. As a class we thought of words to describe him and wrote them in our speech bubble like cross, old and grumpy!

Benjamin ‘I think Mr Grinling looks mad!’

Abbie ‘Mr Grinling looked shocked when the seagulls stole his lunch!’

Today P2 were scientists and tested out different objects to see whether they would float or sink. Before we put the object in the water we had a class vote to see what we thought would happen. We then completed a checkbox to record what we found out from the experiment!

Good morning! It is Friday 26th June 2020 and we have made it to the last day of term! How do you all feel? Drop us a comment, it would be lovely to hear from you.

We want to thank you and your families for all your hard work and support. It has been a strange year so far but you have all coped so well. We are very proud of you. Your Summer holidays will now start and we wish you a very happy Summer filled with lots of fun. Here are some activities below to keep you busy. Take care and all the best for the future!

Lots of love,

Break time 

Literacy – Writing

Find your story planner that you did yesterday. It will look something like this.

You used this to decide on your setting character and problem.

In your home learning jotter. Write sentences for each section.

• Describe about where the story took place
•  Describe the character in the story. Include what they look like and what kind of person are they.
• Explain the main problem
• How did the character take to solve the problem?
• How does you story end?

Remember when you are writing you need to remember how to write a superhero sentence. If you are stuck on how to spell a word try and sound it out, say it slowly so you can hear the letters in the word.

Enjoy writing your story.

Maths

Last week we looked at multiplication. Remember ‘multiply’ and ‘times’ mean adding the same number again and again or ‘groups of’ a certain number. For example, 3 x 2 or 3 twos means that we add 2 three times,  2 + 2 +2 or  we add 3 groups of 2 like this,  **    +  **    +    **

Did you know that when you count in 2s, 5s and 10s you are reciting the 2, 5 and 10 times tables!

Here is the two times table. The answers are even and are going up in twos

Use the 100 splat square to count in 2s and 5s.

1. Stop
2. Breath
3. Say what the problem is

I know it has been a long time since you have all been at school and you are missing your friends so much! Why don’t you write a letter to your friend or teacher? Or you could leave a comment. When you come back you will be big boys and girls in P3! Why don’t you write down or draw some of your favourite things you like to do at school or write down 3 things you want to learn about in P3 and keep it safe. When you come back to school in August you can show it to your friends and teacher!
