Good morning children.
We hope that you are ready for some more exciting activities for today. You have definitely been trying to show the characteristics of the different learning characters in the fantastic work you have saved on Purple Mash. We know that you will carry on doing this next year and we are so excited to watch you using them and growing your brains!
Can you think which learning characters we haven’t looked at yet?
That’s right, today we are going to listen to stories all about Sadie Spider and Clara Clownfish. What can you do today to be more like them?
Click on the stories to listen to them.
Acrostic Poem
Have you ever seen an acrostic poem?
It’s a poem of words or phrases that describes a topic word. The topic word is written vertically, and each line of the poem starts with the letters of the topic word. They are great fun to write!
Click on the button to see some poems that we have written about each other.
Your acrostic poem will be about YOU! There is a 2do set up for you in Purple Mash for you to complete your poem on.
Write your name vertically like we have done and then think about how you can describe yourself.
My successes
Earlier in the week you created a personal fact file all about yourself.
Today we would like you to tell us what you think you are really good at doing. This will also help you to then think later on in the week about what you want to get better at.
We would like you to go on Purple Mash and create a web using 2Connect (it’s set as a 2Do) of all of the things that you are good at doing. Maybe you could put a picture of you in the middle and then around the picture you can type all the things that you are good at doing. (Make sure that you connect them up to look like a spider’s web and don’t forget to save it.)
Tell us about things that you are good at when you are at home, school or at clubs. You might want to include things that you know you are getting better at too.
Pebbles
Have you managed to find a pebble (or 2)? Today we are going to decorate them for our class altar for next year. On one side of the pebble we would like you to choose a word which will help us to become more like Jesus - write this word really clearly in your best handwriting. On the other side of the pebble you can decorate it with a little picture or pattern that relates to your word or will remind others to think of Jesus.
(You might want to pick one of these words or you might want to think of your own - kind, loving, forgiving, helpful, generous, compassionate, hopeful, patient, courageous, grateful, wise, loving, faith–filled, servant, peaceful, joyful, active, curious, giving, gentle, selfless etc)
Keep your pebble really safe so that you can bring it back to school with you in September. Try to do something today which demonstrates the word that you have written on your pebble. If you chose 2 pebbles you can make another one to keep at home. Please send us a photo of your pebble so that we can see them now.
PE
Remember we need to make sure that we are keeping active so why not go for a walk, or a bike ride or a run, or do some yoga, or go on the trampoline or set up a fitness circuit with star jumps and press ups, spotty dog jumps and skipping etc. Or you could complete the PE challenge that is on the school website. You choose, but choose something different today and make sure that you have fun!
Extra optional activities - art today!
As you normally have on a Thursday there is an art activity from Mrs Curtis for you to complete. Have fun!
Have a look at IXL maths and see which units you have not completed yet for Year 2. Try to complete as many of these as you can before September.
Read for 30 minutes each day and then take a quiz on Accelerated Reader. See if you can reach your target before the end of the term. Let us know the name of your favourite author and/or your favourite book. Maybe you could even write a book review on Purple Mash.
Practise your handwriting and make sure that you can form and join all of your letters correctly in the cursive style we use in school. Click on the button below to check on the correct formation of letters.
Have fun!! Don’t forget to send us a photo!!
