World Book Day Activities!
To celebrate World Book Day this year, we have been asked to perform a poem of our choice.
Michael Rosen is one of our favourite Authors and Poets, we are HUGE fans and love watching him perform his own poems. There are lots of examples of these on Youtube, such as Chocolate Cake, Strict, Michael's Big Book of Bad Things, to name a few!
We found it really tricky to choose our favourite poem to perform in our school bubble, but in the end we chose 'Hand on the Bridge', a poem with an interesting rhythm, repetition, and opportunities to perform with our bodies.
Please see below, our own version of Michael Rosen's 'Hand on the Bridge', as performed by our lovely Year 2 Bubble!
Your talk homework this week is to look around your garden for different types of flowers and plants. Can you see any seeds and bulbs? Talk to your adults at home about how we look after plants - what do they need to survive? We look forward to finding out about what you have seen at home!
There is no talk homework for the Easter Holidays!
There will be a change to PE days for Year 2 after Easter - please send your child into school in their PE kits on Mondays and Wednesdays.
Your Talk Homework this week is to talk to your adults at home about measuring length and height. We measure in cm and m - what are these? What can we use to measure in these units? How many cm are in a m? Can you find some objects around the house that you can measure in centimetres? Which objects might you measure in metres? We look forward to hearing about what you find out!
In the autumn term year 2 studied the sustainable development goal Life on Land. We learnt all about the importance of trees for life on our planet. We learnt how trees provide crucial habitats for animals and if we lose trees animals will loose their homes. At the end of term the children wrote letters to Sir David Attenborough to explain what they are doing to help look after the planet in their own way. It was very exciting this week when we received a letter and postcard from Sir David Attenborough who wanted to thank the children for their interest and to say that he is delighted that the children find his programmes interesting.

Talk Homework: This week we have been starting to plan our own version of our Power of Reading Book, Rapunzel by Beth Woollvin. Your talk homework this week is to talk to your adults at home about your own version of the story of Rapunzel. Tell them all about your characters in your story (the goodie and the baddie!) and start to think about the plot for your story - how your goodie and baddie meet, and how they plan to defeat the Witch! We can't wait to hear what you come back with :).
If your child needs to self isolate please look on Sessions blog to find work for the week, thank you.
