Hello Class 2

Along with the tasks below I have also sent you a gingerbread recipe to your email. Please check that you can log in and have received this email from me. If you have any trouble just Dojo me a message. Tomorrow we will be having a Teams meeting at 10:00 am with the whole class. I want to make sure that everyone can attend our online Christmas meeting. It will be so nice to see you all to wish you a Happy Christmas!

Today’s tasks:

For Maths: can you figure out how many gifts you would be given during the 12 days of Christmas. Watch the 12 days of Christmas song and have a go.

I’ll give you help with the first part.

After the first day you would have 1 partridge in a pear tree.

After the second day you would have 2 french hens and 2 partridges in a pear tree altogether. So you would have 4 gifts altogether after the second day!

Extension questions:

How many birds did you receive?

How many gold rings did you get?

Finally, how many dancing people were you given. (leaping counts as dancing).

 

English:

Today in school we will be watching Jack and the Beanstalk the Pantomime. If you know the story well and would like to complete the comprehension please do. J & B Online Comprehension.

Otherwise, please create an Acrostic poem based on a Christmas word. Christmas, Santa, Rudolf, Happy Christmas!

Here is a video to remind you how to write an acrostic poem.

 

Design and Technology:

Can you make a Minecraft Christmas character?

You will need:
