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.
