Jesus is now living in heaven along with many of our loved ones. Can you cut out a cross shape and write a beautiful prayer for either someone you know or people who have joined ‘Our Father’ in heaven?

Class 2 will be joining Fr Desmond by the Cross at the side of church at 11am for a special Easter service to share our prayers and reflect upon the importance of this special time of year. At 11am it would be lovely if you too found a special place at home or in your garden to share your prayers.

Hope you are all keeping safe and well and are all enjoying the lovely weather.

Please find below your tasks for today. If anyone is struggling or needs to ask any questions, please don’t hesitate to message via our class email.

LITERACY

Today I would like you to look at the picture below and describe the beach. Think about the following questions.

• What can you see?
• Where is it?
• What colour is it?
• What is making that sound?
• Imagine looking into the distance can you see anything?
• What is beneath your feet?
• How does it feel?
• It is hot, warm or cool?
• Do you feel anything on your skin?
• Can you taste anything?
• Can you pick something up?
• What is it?
• What does it feel like?

Can you complete the story?

Use ideas from yesterday on somewhere you could go in your magical bubble.

Last Saturday I went to the beach with my family. We had so much fun playing in the sand, building castles and jumping over waves. After lunch I decided to go for a walk. I suddenly stopped. In front of me was a sparkling pot of bubbles. I quickly picked it up and blew a bubble. It was huge. I jumped onto the bubble and it began to rise into the sky....

To finish the story try to answer the following questions.

Where did the bubble take you?

What did you do there?

How did you get back to the beach?

Think carefully about your sentences and remember to use capital letters, finger spaces and full stops.

Good Morning everyone!

I hope you are all well.

This page will be updated daily with tasks to complete this week while our bubble is closed.

WRITING

Watch the following video. 'Bubbles'...

It has been two weeks since all children have been back in school. Children are continuing to make everyone so proud with how well they have returned.

PE will continue to be on Tuesday and Friday so children will need to wear their PE kit on these days.
This term children will have lessons in Gymnastics and Cheerleading.

LITERACY

RWI groups continue and Year 2 children have been writing reports about the Rainforest using lots of facts.

Spelling test- This will still be on Thursdays.

Reading book- Children will be given a new reading book each Friday. Please return books by the following Wednesday.

This week in our RE lessons we have been thinking about making good choices and having a fresh start.
Children were fantastic at talking about their own experiences and discussing what we can do to say sorry and make changes.

MATHS

In Maths this week children have been using number lines and 100 squares to add on and order numbers.

Children in Year 2 have also been using these to find the difference between two numbers and to round numbers to the nearest 10.

All children have used use estimating skills to guess how many objects there may be. They have then been counting in 2s,5s and 10s to find an answer.

RAINFOREST ROLE PLAY

What an exciting time children have had in our classroom rainforest. They have loved making up games and having adventures discovering new animals. Children have also recently adopted a Jaguar from the WWF.
