• Year one lessons start with a phonics warm-up. (Please watch this as well as the phonics provided above).
• Year 2 lessons start with a spellings warm up. (This will be used as your phase 6 phonics practice- covering the reading and spelling of high frequency words).
• The Year 2 weekly overview consists of two days of reading skills followed by three days focusing on a writing genre such as story writing, instruction writing etc.

For example, bright and light  are rhyming words as they share the same igh sound. 

Similarly, wood and could rhyme despite having different spellings because they still share a common sound.

Today on Purple Mash, look at the words on the activity and make a list of words that rhyme with them. This will help you write your rhyming poem tomorrow. 

If you need further help with rhyming words watch the video below.

This week we have been thinking about adjectives and verbs to describe what minibeasts look like and how they move. Today new will be using these words in our cinquain poem.

Please watch the video below to see how to write a cinquain poem.

Tuesday 12th May 2020

Phonics:

Miss Deakin-Mundy's group and Mrs Walker's group:

'e' can be pronounced as a short vowel sound such as in the word 'wet' or it can be pronounced as the long e sound such as 'we'. 

Please watch the lesson below which focuses on the long vowel sound-  e.

When learning that vowels can be short or long we often play a sorting game in phonics.

I have listed some words below which could be mixed up and sorted in long e and short e sounds. 

Long vowel sound e:

equal

be

me

we

Short vowel sound e:

men

leg

wet

Good morning :)

Phonics: 

Miss Deakin-Mundy's group and Mrs Walkers Group: 

Please practice your phase 5 sounds below:

 Please watch the phonics lesson below titled:      Lesson 8-    split digraph o-e

https://wandleenglishhub.org.uk/lettersandsounds/year-1 

Mrs Horton's Phonics Group: 

Today we will be looking at past, present and future tense.

There are different ways to tell the tense of text. 

Some words add the the suffix 'ed' to verbs to change the word to past tense.

For example, walk becomes walked.

Adding 'ed' doesn't change all words to past tense. For example we can't add 'ed' to run because runned isn't grammatically correct. The whole word changes and becomes ran.

Other words are less obvious but can give us a clue about what tense it is written in such as:

• did
• haven't
• had
• hadn't 
• went
• going
• walking
• eating
• will

Maths:

Maths Starter- This morning's warm-up on Purple Mash is a comparing numbers game.

Top tip:

• Compare numbers using your place value knowledge- use tens and ones to help you.
•  The more than and less than signs are like greedy crocodiles and always face the greater number.

Year 2:

I would recommend building a resource to represent tens and ones for this activity. Lego is suitable for this. Build several towers of ten and have some singualr peices for ones.

The children have base 10 equipment at school to help with their maths work so having a these available would be a familiar resource.

Tuesday 5th May 2020

Good morning!    :) 

Phonics:

Miss Deakin-Mundy's group and Mrs Walker's group:

Practice your phase 5 sounds below:

Today's sound is o. 

o can be pronounced as a short sound such as p-o-t. Or it be pronounced as a long sound such as p-o-s-t. 

It is important that we know both pronounciations so when we come across a word containing this sound we can try both options to see which one 'sounds right'.

This also helps us with our spelling because long o sounds can be confused with the sound ow or the word oh. For example p-ow-s-t  and p-oh-s-t are phonetic but not spelt correctly. 

At school we often play a sorting game by sorting long and short vowel sounds.  

I have listed some below if you would like to sort them into short o and long o:

• pot
• post
• most
• frog
• moment
• protect
• lots

Mrs Horton's Phonics group: 

Suffixes-

Some root words can have several suffixes added on to them.

For example: happy can be changed to happily, happier and happiest.

Even though these are all real words with suffixes  they wouldn't all make sense in the same sentence.

The girl walked ___________ down the lane. 

Would all of these suffix words make sense in this sentence? Which one fits best? Why?

On today's Purple Mash, read through the sentences and choose which word's suffix ending is grammatically correct.

Maths: 

Maths Starter- This morning's warm-up on Purple Mash is addition with numbers up to 20.

Top Tips: 

• Start counting on from the largest number. 
• Use objects to help you practically count.
• Use your number bond knowledge.

Year 1:

I would recommend using a resource to help with adding such as counters, pebbles, lego bricks etc. I have also attached a part-whole model template below that the children may find useful.

English:

I was very impressed with your non-chronological reports you completed yesterday. You found some great facts about bees and wrote about them really clearly.   :)

Yesterday, we looked at features on non-chronological reports including headings, sub-headings, blocks of text and pictures. 

Can you see any examples of these features below?

Today on Purple Mash, I would like you to write another non-chronological report about a minibeast of your choice. 

I have not included any sub-headings today so have a think of what types of things people may want to find about your minibeast. 

This can be as simple as one word such as 'Habitat' or you can make your sub-heading a question sentence such as 'What do bees eat?'.

Sub-headings are often bolder and larger than the rest of the text, this allows people to find the bit of information they are looking for in the larger text easily. Have a go at editing your writing by making it bigger and bolder.

I have included some information about minibeasts below. 

Optional DT and Science:

If you looked at the PowerPoint above you will have learnt about the different habitats that minibeasts live in.

I thought it would be fun to apply our knowledge of microhabitats and make a bug hotel.

Watch the video below to have a go at home.

You will need:

•  A milk or juice carton
• Scissors
•  Kitchen/toilet roll tubes
• Sticks
• Leaves
• Moss
• Pinecones

Monday 4th May 2020

Good morning! :) 

I hope you all had a lovely weekend. 

Phonics: 

Miss Deakin-Mundy's group and Mrs Walker's Group: 

Please practice your Phase 5 sounds below:

Mrs Horton's Phonics Group: 

Today Mrs Horton's group will be looking again at suffixes.

Suffixes can be added at the end of words to change the meaning or tense. 

Common suffixes we add onto the end of words:

• ed
• s
• es
• ful
• ment
• ly

Can you think of any words that end in these suffixes?

Today's suffix activity is on Purple Mash.

You will see a root word which is missing a suffix. Choose which suffix would complete the word correctly.

Use clues in the sentence to help you choose the correct suffix.

For example:

• What tense is the sentence written in?
• What type of the word is the root word? Adjectives, nouns and verbs often use different suffixes. 
• Read the word and try each each suffix. Which one sounds correct? 

Maths: 

Maths Starter- This morning's warm-up on Purple Mash is addition with numbers up to 20.

Top Tips: 

• Start counting on from the largest number.

English:

Today we will be looking at a type of information text called non-chronological reports. 

A non-chronological report is a non-fiction report which can be read in any order. 

The information is often displayed in a combination of random boxes, shapes and paragraphs. 

Look at the example below:

Features of a non-chronological reports: 

• Heading- a heading is the main title to explain wha the text will be about. In the example the heading was 'Minibeasts'. Headings usually go at the top but can be found elsewhere. The heading is usually the largest piece of writing.

• Sub-Headings- a sub-heading is like a mini title. It.gives us information about what is going to be in the paragraph of text. An example of a sub-heading in the text would be" 'In the Garden'. Can you see how this text is bold compared to the writing beneath? 

• Pictures, photographs and diagrams- These give the reader visual information and link to the text.

Can you find examples of these features in the example?

Today on Purple Mash  I would like you to write a non-chronological report about bees.

I have included three subheadings asking about their appearance, habitat and importance. 

You may to do some research about this minibeasts before you start writing. I have included some useful links below. 

Friday 1st May 2020

Good Morning! :)

Phonics: 

Miss Deakin-Mundy's and Mrs Walker's Phonics group:

Practice speed reading your phase 5 sounds below:

Follow the link below to watch today's lesson focusing on the 'ie' sound.

When you've finished the lesson try to write your own ie words and add sound buttons. 

Mrs Horton's Phonics Group: 

Today Mrs Horton's group will be looking at compound words. 

Compound words are two individual words put together to make a new word with a new meaning.

For example: sun + flower = sunflower.

Please go through the PowerPoint below to find out more.

I have set an activity on Purple Mash for you to complete to help you recognise compound words. 

If you would like resources about this I have attached some below. 

Maths:

Today White Rose Maths Hub have organised a Friday maths challenge for all year groups. 

The most suitable questions for years 1 and 2 are Challenge 1 and 2.

For those who would like to challenge themselves further have a go at Challenge 3.

All questions are problem solving based activities. 

I’d recommend collecting some resources such as pebbles, toy cars, Lego etc to help you find the answer to questions practically. 

Year 1 Friday Maths challenge:

English:

When writing your thought bubble on Purple Mash, remember to write in first person as if you are the ringmaster- using words such as I.

Additionally, make sure you include how the ringmaster is feeling. Use the clues from the text and illustrations to help you infer this. 

I have put a WAGOLL below to give you some ideas. 

Can you spot the thoughts and emotions I imagined the ringmaster had whilst Paddington was swinging on the trapeze?

Thursday 30th April 2020

Good morning! :)

It was lovely speaking to you all yesterday and hearing your voices. It was wonderful to hear that you are all well and finding out what you have been up to.

For those I have not been able to contact, please be aware that the number will come up as withheld.

Phonics:

Miss Deakin-Mundy's and Mrs Walker's Phonics Group: 

Speed read your Phase 5 sounds below. 

Once you've watched today's video, have a go at writing some words containing the split e-e digraph. 

Mrs Horton's Phonics Group:

Today's work will be focusing on singular and plural nouns.

The PowerPoint below outlines rules for when to add s, es and ies to words.

Today on Purple Mash sort the words into singular and plural words.

You may also want to test yourself by writing down singular nouns such table, fox, baby house, book, box etc and deciding how to make them plural.

Today we will be writing a diary entry pretending we're Paddington Bear recounting his day at the circus.

You may find it helpful to listen to the story again to refresh your memory. I have attached the story below. 

Remember in this diary you are Paddington. It is important when you are writing that you write in the first person, using personal pronouns such as: I, we, my, and me. 

To convince me that it is Paddington's diary include lots of detail about what he saw, smelt, heard, thought and felt. You could steal some ideas from the work you did yesterday to help you. 

Try to recount his experiences in the correct order. For example, don't start with the ice cream falling on the man's head. 

I have included a diary checklist below. Try to include all of these things in your diary. 

Sentence Starter Examples: 

Dear Diary,

I've had such an exciting day! 

The Brown family and I visited a circus tonight. 

I saw...

I thought...

When we first went in...

I felt...

After that,

Finally...

From Paddington

Wednesday 29th April 2020

Good morning!

It was so lovely speaking to some of you yesterday. I am glad you are all well and are enjoying your work.

If you have not received a phone call yet, I am working my way through the register and will try and ring later today.

I would also like to mention the wonderful circus posters you did yesterday. I've been sent some super photos from those who chose to create them by hand, as well as some brilliant Purple mash posters. You all used pictures, bright colours and exciting vocabulary, well done! :) 

Miss Deakin-Mundy's Phonics group:

Practice speed reading your Phase 5 sounds below. 

Please watch the Phonics lesson by following the link below and watching the video titled Lesson 3- Year 1.

If you missed yesterday's phonics lesson, I have added the video under yesterday's 'Phonics' sub-title  further down this page.

Mrs Horton's Phonics Group:

Adding something at the end of a word is called a suffix.

You had a practice with this yesterday. Common suffixes we use include: 

• ed
• ness
• ful
• ly

Can you think of any words which you can add these suffixes onto? 

Make a list.

Today we will be practicing prefixes. 

As you may remember from prior learning, prefixes are added to the beginning of a word.

Common prefixes:

• un
• dis

By adding a prefix to a verb (a doing word) or an adjective (a describing word) it changes the meaning. 

For example: happy can be changed to unhappy. The word happy now has a different meaning. 

Work through the Purple Mash game and read the sentences with missing words. Which prefix is correct? 

When you're done you could challenge yourself to think of root words that you can add a prefix to and see if you can spell them correctly. 

Maths: 

Maths Starter- Some of you mentioned yesterday that you think you need a bit more practice with quickly answering multiplication questions. So this morning's warm-up is another times table challenge on Purple Mash. Answer the questions quickly and accurately to win the race. Good luck!

Today we are going to be using adjectives on Purple Mash to describe the weird and wonderful things that Paddington saw at the circus. 

Before we start, click on the link below and watch the video about adjectives. There is also a quiz at the end. 

Use these pictures to help you write descriptive sentences about Paddington's experience at the circus. 

What did he see?

What did he hear? 

What did he smell?

Have a look at the illustrations below. Note down some ideas or tell someone in your house. 

Log in to Purple Mash and draw a picture of the sights Paddington saw at the circus.

Underneath write some exciting, descriptive adjective sentences explaining what Paddington saw, heard and smelt. You may have to use your imagination for some of it. 

Scroll down this page to find examples of today's work and word mats with useful spellings and describing words on. 

Try and be adventurous with your choice of adjectives.

Instead of using 'big' you could use a more exciting word like colossal, gigantic or enormous. 

You might want to use commas in a list of adjectives.

For example: 

The clown's nose was read.

The clown's red, shiny nose perched on his colourfully painted face.

English 

You wrote some wonderful book reviews yesterday, well done! :) 

Now that you're familiar with the story and what acts you might see at a circus I’d like you to make a poster to advertise the circus coming to Paddington's town. 

Posters are bright, colourful pieces of paper advertising a product or event. They contain information and try to convince people to buy things or attend events. 

Do you remember when Paddington saw the poster in the story?

What did it say?

In your poster consider:

What acts will perform at the circus? 

What dates are they in town for?

What did the poster in the story say? 

I have included a circus poster template on Purple Mash but if you'd prefer to create it by hand that's fine. I just ask that a copy is emailed to me as I love to see your work. 

For more information about what to include in a poster click on the PowerPoint link below.

Year 1

Today we are continuing finding half. When finding half of an amount, we split the quantity into two equal groups. You may find it useful to collect some small items such as pebbles to practically help you find half of an amount and find two containers to share objects into. Alternatively, draw two circles on a piece of paper to share objects into.

Year 2

Today year 2 will be comparing measurements. 

We compare amounts using this vocabulary:

more than

less than

equal to 

We can also show this as these symbols: symbols:    <         >         =

We have had lots of practice with comparing amounts and often drawn the symbols as crocodiles to remind ourself that the greedy crocodile always opens his mouth to face the greatest amount.

This week we will be completing work based on Michael Bond's books about Paddington bear.

Today we will be listening to to the book 'Paddington at the Circus' and writing a book review.

Book reviews help us to reflect on what we have read and offer opinions about it. They help us develop key skills such as summarising a text, comparing it to other things we have read and coming to a conclusion as to whether we enjoyed it. Book reviews can also help others choose if they would like to read this book. 

Listen to the story below and then share your thoughts and feelings about this book on the book review template.

In your book review consider the following: 

• What is this book about?
• What are the main events in the story?
• Who is the main character?
• Who is your favourite character and why?
• Did you like this book?
• Would you recommend this book to others? Why?
• What did you think about the illustrations?
• Who wrote this book? Do you know of any other books they have written? 

Art Competition:

Some of you have sent me some incredible photographs of the artwork you are creating at home.

It is lovely to see so many budding artists!

For a bit of fun, the teachers have attached a link to the RSPB art competition on each home learning page.

If you wish to join in this competition and stand a chance at winning some exciting prizes then send a picture of a piece of artwork inspired by nature to the link below. (I'd also love to see any masterpieces you create if you'd also like to send me a photograph!) 

Good luck!

Good morning :)

Phonics:

Miss Deakin-Mundy's phonics group- The sounds you’ll be sounding out today are ir and ue. You will see on your Purple Mash 2Dos some phase 5 phonics. Complete the word with the correct sound. Sound out all options to find which one works. When you’ve finished this activity, practice sounding out and writing ir and ue words. Use your lined English book to write the words down and add sound buttons. Make sure you use ascenders and descenders. You could challenge yourself to write a sentence containing words with these sounds in.

Maths:

Today White Rose Maths Hub have organised a Friday maths challenge for all year groups. 

The most suitable questions for years 1 and 2 are Challenge 1 and 2. 

Both questions are problem solving based activities. 

I’d recommend collecting some resources such as pebbles, toy cars, Lego etc to help you find the answer to questions practically. 

Link: https://wrm-13b48.kxcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Family-Challenge-Friday-24th.pdf

Try and give these challenges a go but if you get stuck I have put some help below. 

Step-by-step support for Challenge 1:

1. star + star = 20

• The first question shows two stars.
• These stars represent a number.
• I know the numbers must be the same as each other as the shape is also the same.
• These two stars/numbers add together to make 20.  
• What number goes into 20 twice?
• Use number bond or multiplication knowledge to support you.

2. heart - star = 7

• You should now know what the star is worth. 
• So 'something' take away ten is seven.   _____ - 10 = 7
• Work backwards using inverse (7+10= )

3. heart - heart = triangle

• You should now know what the heart is worth.
• What happens when you take away a number with the same number? 
• 17- 17= ?

Step-by-step support for Challenge 2:

• Start by adding up Tom's Money.
• He has six 10p coins.                     Choose a method 6x10=    or    10+10+10+10+10+10= 
• Next, add Tom's three 5p coins.     Choose a method: 3x5=     or         5+5+5=
• Add the total of Tom's 10ps and 5ps together.
• He uses this money to buy an apple for 59p. 
• Tom had 75p he spent 59p on the apple.    75-59 = ?
• How much money is left over? He spends the rest of this money on two pencils.  (16p)
• How much money would each pencil cost? (Half of 16)

English:

The stories you wrote yesterday were fantastic! We loved reading them, well done. 

Today, we will be pretending to be Little Red Riding Hood. We will be writing a letter to the wood cutter to say thank you for helping us. 

As we will be pretending that we’re someone else we will need to use our imagination. Read the story of Little Red Riding Hood or watch the video further down this page.

How do you think Little Red Riding Hood felt throughout the story? 

The author may not have explained the characters feelings but it’s up to you as the reader to use clues from what’s happened so far to interpret how that character felt and why. 

This is called inference and is one of our reading skills. 

I have included a video below which explains inference further.

I have included on this Purple Mash task a  ‘Think About’ box to be used as a writing checklist. 

There are lots of ideas of what to include in your letter and help on how to structure your writing. 

Don’t forget to start your letter with Dear or To and finish with From or Yours sincerely.

For more help regarding letter writing I have included a PowerPoint below.

Phonics- 

Miss Deakin-Mundy's phonics group- You will see on your Purple Mash 2Dos some phase 5 phonics. Complete the word with the correct sound. Sound out all options to find which one works. When you’ve finished this activity, practice sounding out and writing ie, ea, and oy words. Use your lined English book to write the words down and add sound buttons. Make sure you use ascenders and descenders. You could challenge yourself to write a sentence containing words with these sounds in.

Maths starter- 

I have put you maths warm up on Purple Mash. Today you will be answering questions to find one more and one less than a number up to 101. To win against the other players you must answer the addition and subtraction questions accurately and quickly. You do not need to click hand in but I will be able to see how you get on. Use your knowledge of place value to support you answering these questions. 

Year 1 Maths

Year Ones you should be experts at today's activity as we have practiced finding half in lessons last term.

If you struggle to find half of a shape, cut the shape out in paper and fold equally so you have 2 equal halves.

Unfortunately White Rose maths hub have not adapted today's work to suit home learning. 

This activity requires meter sticks. I appreciate that these are a classroom resource. In light of this, may I suggest, for those who own one, a tape measure locked at 1 meter.

If you cannot complete the measuring activities (questions 1c, 1d and 4) then please leave them out. 

Another home alternative which could produce some fun investigation would be cutting a length of string to roughly 1 meter to investigate which objects in your home are smaller or bigger than a meter. 

I apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your on-going support at home. :)

Today we will be writing the traditional tale of Little Red Riding Hood.

When you go to this activity on Purple Mash, a video of Little Red Riding Hood will play when you start this activity to refresh your memory of the key events and order.

This week you have described the characters from this story, practiced writing speech between characters and learnt about different sentence types. Use this to help you retell the traditional story of Red Riding Hood. Remember when writing “What big ___ you have!’ You must use exclamation marks.

I have also included on Purple mash a checklist, just hover over the words in the ‘Think About’ box and it will give you ideas and help you structure your story.

Bad Example:

Read through this and see if you can spot the mistakes. 

Little red riding hood went to her grandmas then there was a wolf then he sed where are you going then little red riding hood got to grandmas and said what big eyes you have?

Did you spot the mistakes? Was this a good story?

Mistakes: 

• No capital letters for names.
• No apostrophe in 'Grandma's house'. -(The apostrophe shows possession)
• Said is spelt incorrectly.
• No question mark after 'where are you going'
• No exclamation mark after 'what big eyes you have' - (It starts with what but is expressing surprise so must be an exclamation not a question)
• I used 'then' too many time. I could have used other time conjunctions such as next or after that. 
• Not enough punctuation such as full stops. 
• Too short and not enough detail. 

Good Example: 

Read this example and discuss why this is better. 

Once upon a time, there lived a young girl called Little Red riding Hood. She lived with her mother in a beautiful cottage in the woods. One sunny day, her mother asked her to go and visit her Grandma with a basket of food. Little Red put on her rosy red cloak and set off down the winding path. As she walked along she noticed some lovely, colourful flowers and though how nice it would be to pick some for her Grandma. She stopped to pick them and as she bent down a towering shadow appeared next to her. She looked up and saw a snarling wolf. "Where are you going?" asked the wolf? "I'm going to visit my Grandmother in her cottage" replied Little Red. She carried on picking flowers. The wolf smiled menacingly and ran quickly  down the path towards Grandma's house... Little Red Riding Hood arrived at the cottage and knocked the door. "Come in" a husky voice muttered. Little Red Riding Hood entered and approached the bed. 

"Oh Grandma, what big eyes you have!". "All the better to see you with"    .........

ETC.

Why was this better?

Use this example to help you write your story.  I have also put some useful word mats below.

Tomorrow we will be writing the traditional tale of Little Red Riding Hood.

In this you will use a range of sentence types including statements, commands, questions and exclamations so we're going to have practice today. Different types of sentences require different types of punctuation. You had a practice of exclamation sentences starting with the word 'what' yesterday. (What big eyes you have!)

I have included some useful resources and videos below to explain about sentence types. 

Today's activity on Purple Mash is a grammar game. This game will ask you to add capital letters, full stops, question marks and exclamation marks to demarcate sentences correctly.

Decide what type of sentence it is to help you choose which punctuation to use. 

Once you've finished you could use your lined English book to write a command, statement, exclamation and question that you might see in the story Little Red Riding Hood.

Tell the story of Little Red Riding Hood to someone in your house to refresh your memory of this traditional tale.

Today we will be looking at speech between characters. This is often called dialogue. 

Can you remember what Little Red Riding Hood said to the wolf in Grandma's house?

Sentences can be statements, commands, questions or exclamations.

Little Red Riding Hood uses a lot of exclamation sentences when talking to Grandma. 

An exclamation is forceful statement which expresses high levels of emotion or excitement.

For example, Little Red Riding Hood might speak in exclamations like these:

Today on Purple Mash, I'd like you to use the speech bubbles to write what the characters are saying to each other in Grandma’s house.

Remember exclamation sentences begin with what or how. So if your sentences start with these words use an exclamation mark at the end.

As we are using speech bubble you do not need to include 'said'. 

If you would like to challenge yourself you could try to use inverted commas to show that your sentence is speech. Inverted commas- previously known as speech marks- show when someone is talking.  For example -"Hello".

Today we will be writing an apology letter to the three bears from Goldilocks.

As we will be writing from the perspective of Goldilocks you will need to imagine her experience in the three bear’s house and how she felt throughout the day.

Thursday 2nd April 2020

 Dear Three Bears,

I am writing to say how sorry I am for my actions.

Last week as I was walking through the woods I stumbled across your lovely cottage. I was so tired and hungry that I thought I could sneak in for a quick rest and bite to eat. I went inside and noticed that no one was home, so I ate your porridge, sat in your chairs and slept in your beds. I know now that this was wrong. You should never break into someone’s home. I feel incredibly embarrassed by my behaviour. I am so sorry; it will never happen again.

I hope you will accept my apology and we can be friends.

Yours Sincerely,

Goldilocks

Goldilocks Letter Checklist

2. Start with Dear
3. Begin your first sentence with ‘I am writing to say…’

Today in English we will continue learning about the Goldilocks and the three bears. We will be filling in speech bubbles of what the characters might say to each other. In the first speech bubble imagine you are the Bears. What would you say to Goldilocks after coming home to find that she’s been in your house? Try to infer the bear’s emotions in your writing. In the second speech bubble, imagine you are Goldilocks. What would you say back to the bears? How does she feel? Tomorrow you will be writing a letter from the perspective of Goldilocks. This activity will help you imagine what the characters are thinking and feeling in preparation for tomorrow’s activity. Don't forget to drag the correct picture form the image box and place it under the correct speech bubble! The Think About box contains useful tips and reminders for each activity on Purple Mash.

A wanted poster usually starts with the word wanted in capital letters. It is then followed by a description of the person’s crime and appearance. Today in your wanted poster write a brief summary of what Goldilocks did in the three bears house. Then describe what she looks like so people can find her. Feel free to draw a picture of Goldilocks by double clicking the picture box or dragging a a pre-made picture into the space.

WANTED

A young girl named Goldilocks was spotted earlier this week breaking into the three bear’s cottage. This intruder not only broke into their home but ate their porridge, sat in their chairs and even slept in their beds! Police are trying to find this girl. She has long, blonde hair and blue eyes. She was last seen wearing a red dress skipping through the woods.

Page 2: Not far away, on a marshmallow hill lived a young Blap by the name of Jack.

Page 3: Penelope and Jack lived under the fiery red sky of Planet Slop. Where the lakes are like orange jelly and the spaghetti trees wobble in the warm breeze.

Page 4: The Grandfather Scup and the Grandmother Blap would tell their grandchildren not to play with each other because they were different. That didn’t stop Penelope and Jack…

In maths we have been looking at fractions. Class 2 can now find a half, a third and a quarter of shapes and numbers. They have also looked at non-unit fractions such as 2 quarters and three quarters. Today, practice drawing shapes and splitting them equally into the fractions you have learnt about. You could also find a fraction of an amount using the one for me and one for you method. 

On Purple Mash you will see in your 2Dos a game called Fractonio's Pizza. Help Fractonio make the pizza for his customers with the correct fraction of ingredients. 

English: 

In English we have been learning about books with Fantasy Settings. Last week we read The Smeds and the Smoos by Julia Donaldson. You can find videos of someone reading this book on YouTube if you would like to remind yourself of the story. This week we will be writing our own version of this book, creating our own alien creatures and fantasy settings. Today, I would like you to design a new alien creature using the ‘My Monster’ activity on Purple mash. Then I would like you to complete the 'My Smed or Smoo Character description' writing activity on Purple Mash to tell me what your Smed or Smoo look like. Use the key words to help you.
