Tricky word Practice: Watch and sing along
Challenge: Choose a book and be a book detective! See if you can find any of these tricky words in your book.
AMAZING ADJECTIVES
In class we had been learning about adjectives. We know that adjectives are words that are used to describe a noun (a person, a place or an object). For example, here is the word big. There are many interesting adjectives that can be used instead of big, such as:
-
massive
-
huge
-
gigantic
-
great
-
humongous
-
enormous
Challenge: Pick a character from a book or from a film. Draw and colour in this character, remember try to add detail into your drawing. Next, add some adjectives around your picture to describe this character. Remember what do they look like on the outside (tall, small, brown eye, shiny hair etc.) and what are they like on the inside (evil, smart, kind, funny etc.)
Challenge 2: Can you now write a character description (a couple of sentences about your chosen character). Remember to use the adjectives you wrote down earlier.
Here’s some examples:

Subtraction Chilli Challenge 2
Subtraction Chilli Challenge
We are continuing to focus on subtraction this week.
Remember you can subtract by using objects or counters, counting back in your head or even using a number line ( you could make your own number line).
Also you can use addition to help you, as subtraction is the inverse of addition, for example:
3 + 6 = 9 and 9 – 3 = 6
In your home learning jotter, write the short date (25.03.20) and choose which level of subtraction sums you wish to complete. Get an adult to check your answers. If you have tried the ‘mild‘ level then try some of the sums in the ‘hot’ level. There is no limit to the amount of chilli challenges you can do but do try and challenge yourself! 
Try and make each number the same size.
- 10 – 1 =
- 10 – 3 =
- 10 – 5 =
- 10 – 7 =
- 10-9 =
- 10- 2 =
- 10-4 =
- 10-6 =
- 10-8 =
- 10-10=
1. 20 – 2 =
2. 20 – 4 =
3. 20 – 6 =
4. 20 – 8 =
5. 20 – 10 =
6. 20 – 12 =
7. 20 – 14 =
8. 20 – 16 =

Super Science!
Before the school closed, some of the children in P2a filmed a science demonstration! We looked at why it is so important to keep our hands clean. Watch the video and join in at home if you missed it or if you would like to have a go yourself. You can even show your family!
All you need is:
- a bowl
- some water
- some pepper
- soap
Why? Soap lowers water’s “surface tension,” causing water droplets to become weaker and break apart, rather than stick together. This is why soap is so effective in cleaning and removing germs and dirt.
