Good Morning Year 2.
I hope that you had a wonderful sleep and are ready for the day ahead. Here are Thursday’s learning challenges:
Phonics
Access the RWI sessions below. All the children would benefit from accessing the set 3 sounds lesson, however some might also benefit from the other sessions.
Set 1 Speed Sounds at 9.30 am
Set 2 Speed Sounds at 10.00 am
Set 3 Speed Sounds at 10.30 am
If you do however, feel that these sessions are not really benefiting your child, please feel free to access reading materials for a little longer instead.
Reading
Continue reading and quizzing on books using the Accelerated Reading and Epic Reading resources. Help can be found in the ‘How to help your child’ section of my page if you need it.
It also isn’t too late to sign up for the Epic Reading resource. If you would like access to a huge range of books, some with quizzes, please send an email to l.woodend@ourladystarofthesea.lancs.sch.uk. This will enable me to send you an invite to create an account.

Day 4 - Goldilocks and the Three Bears
Use the link below to listen to and enjoy Goldilocks and the Three Bears from Revolting Rhymes up to 3:59 mins.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxHn2v3dz5E
Jot down new or interesting words to explore meanings and discuss, e.g. delinquent, tot, suggestion, distressing, house-proud, cherubs etc. Model orally putting new words into different sentences and encourage your child to do the same. Listen from the start to 3:59 mins again. The narrator repeatedly asks, in response to Goldilocks’ actions, how would you feel? Pause each time this is asked and discuss.
The narrator also makes clear her dislike for Goldilocks all the way through the poem. Discuss how the narrator might describe Goldilocks, e.g. Naughty, spoilt, selfish. Do you agree? Re-watch from 3:36 – 3:59 mins. Pause and make a list of all Goldilocks’ crimes.
Imagine that you are Goldilocks. Write a letter to the narrator, apologising for your crimes, perhaps providing some explanation as to why you did what you did. Just like on Tuesday, remember to lay out your letter with your address, the date, to and from. Check spelling and punctuation in each sentence together.
Finish watching to the end of the clip. Do you think if the narrator had received your letter, the ending could have been different?
