Good morning class 2,
It was great to see you on the Teams meeting yesterday and it seems as though you have had a great half term break. Today we will have our Teams meeting at 11.30 where we will look at our new class book ‘Rock Bottom’. Could you please try to complete the prediction activity before the meeting and then we will be able to share our ideas during the Teams session. At 2.30 there will also be a Teams meeting for year 5 to complete their guided reading task and spelling test. Well done to those who completed some of yesterday’s tasks on Showbie. I have added the task for English and French to Showbie if you would like to complete it online rather than printing it out. If any of you wish to join Showbie today, please have a look at yesterday’s video explaining how to do it. Have a great day.
Maths
For your mental starter can you log in to Times table rockstars. Between 9.00 and 9.15, I will be looking at the arena section of TT rockstars. If you are able to, can you log in at this time and play against your classmates? If not, can you challenge someone to a game in the rockslam area?

Assembly
Today at 10.00 the NSPCC are holding a live assembly on ‘Speak out, Stay Safe’. They have special celebrity appearances from Ant and Dec and David Walliams. This assembly helps children understand the importance of talking about their worries, and how Childline can support them. Please click the link here to watch the assembly.
Reading
On Fiction Express I would like you to read the next chapter of your book. Or you can use the Oxford Owl website.
English
For our English lesson today we will be starting a new book. For today’s activity, I would like you to look at the front cover and the blurb and see if you can predict what the story might be about. Look for clues including what the blurb suggests and what the pictures show. Below is a powerpoint that includes the front cover and the blurb. I would then like you to fill in the table on the worksheet (this is also available to complete on Showbie) which asks you to identify different features of the front cover and then to think about what this suggests about the book. We will then have a teams meeting today at 11.30 to share our ideas and to read the first chapter of the book together.
Art
Over the next few weeks we will be looking at pencil sketching. This week we are going to start to develop our skills of sketching and observation. Your challenge is to draw a collection of tiny objects – by tiny I mean things which are roughly the size of a five pence piece – things like small shells, pebbles, leaves, beads, screws. Start by scattering the objects over a large, clean sheet of paper. Take a sharp pencil, and make sure you are near to the objects so that you can really see all their detail.
As you draw, let your eyes flit between looking at the object and looking at your sketch. Ideally you should look at the object for a few seconds, then your drawing for a few seconds, then the object, then the drawing…Also begin to become aware of how you can change the the marks you make in response to what you see. For example experiment with how much pressure you use, in different parts of the drawing. …. Enjoy drawing small!
French
This week we will be looking at pets. Please use this link to learn the names of some common pets. Please click on the full tutorial option. You will continue to click through the webpage recognising the names of pets in French. Once you have completed that you can complete the wordsearch below (this is also available to complete on Showbie). There is also a word bank and short video to help you.
Good morning Class 2,
I hope you have all had a great half term? Hopefully I will be able to hear some of the different things that you have been doing on the Teams meetings today and tomorrow. As it is our first day back, our meeting today will be for everyone at 1.30 where we will look at our science task. Year 5, you will have your guided reading session and spelling test tomorrow instead at 2.30. Please watch the video below explaining today’s tasks.
Today, I have also given you an alternative way of accessing some of the worksheets through a learning platform called Showbie. This will allow you to type or write directly on to a worksheet and submit it to me. If you would like to use Showbie, there is a video below explaining how to log on. You will need our class code which is BPC9M.

This week we will be starting to read a new book in English. This book features a play called ‘Midsummer Nights Dream’. It is a very famous play by William Shakespeare. You will need to have some understanding of the play and the main characters to help you understand the book. Can you please watch the two videos about it below. Underneath you have some tasks. You will need to sequence events in the story and name the main characters. You may find it easier to complete these while you are watching the film.
Science
Over the next half term in science, we will be focusing on developing our skills of enquiry. There are five different types of enquiry (see the poster below) and to start with, we will be completing a fair test or comparative enquiry.
Please watch this short video clip to remind you what a fair test is.
We will be carrying out an enquiry to find out which biscuit is the best for dunking. We will talk through the plan and fill some of it in during this afternoon’s Teams meeting. Please have the planning sheet with you this afternoon (or the planning board drawn into your book). We will complete the enquiry next Monday, so by then could you please have three different types of biscuits to test which is the best dunker!
Please find below the plan that we completed together:
