Good morning Class 2!

I hope you have all had a lovely Easter break? I’m sure that some of you managed to complete some of the Easter challenges that I set you? Well I hope you enjoyed them. I have mostly been spending time in my garden as the weather has been so lovely. I have also been enjoying some baking and crafts with my children. I hope you have done some lovely things too. Hopefully in English you will have the chance to tell me about them. Here are the tasks for today:

Could you complete the multiplication/divisors task on your 2dos in purple mash as a warm up.

We will now be completing some of our maths from the White Rose scheme of home learning. This is the same scheme that we use in school and has a useful video to help to explain/revise concepts before you complete a task. Please find the links to the White Rose materials below.
