Monday challenge

Date: 27th Apr 2020 @ 10:58am

Good morning Year 2,

I hope you all had a lovely weekend - I know I did in the sunshine.

It has been great hearing from you all through y2homelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk

Here are a few adjectives (and nouns) I wrote down to describe the bear on Friday:

Hairy, Huge, Scary eyes, black nose and sharp claws.

English challenge of the day

Can you think of some conjunctions to complete the sentences?

I like the rain _______ I can jump in puddles.

I like mash ___ I do not like chips.

I brushed my teeth ___ I went to school.

I am happy ______ my sister bought me flowers.

Maths challenge of the day

Sam invites 20 friends to his birthday. A quarter of them were girls. How many were boys?

Can you think of your own fraction word problems and test an adult in your house?

Weekly reading challenge

This week, I would like you to choose 3 of your favourite books - they could be online or from around the house. I would like you to read them to an adult in your house. Whilst reading, don't forget to look out for conjunctions (and, because, when, so etc) and suffixes (-ly, -ed, -est ect).

Weekly vocab challenge

Last week I asked you to find out the meaning of the words reuse, waste and composting. I would love to hear how you got on. This week I would like you to find out the meaning of the words biodegradable, Global warming and environment. I would like you to write the words down on seperate pieces of paper, put them in to an envelope or fold them up and while you are having your breakfast, take turns with an adult to choose a piece of paper and see if you can make as many sentences as you can with that word in. 

Miss Hamer's connected curriculum challenge 

Whilst I was on my daily walk this weekend, I felt very upset to see how much rubbish is left scattered around the environment.  I decided to take some pictures to share them with you all. With an adult, I would like you to discuss the pictures and decide what objects you think are not biodegradable and why. Can you take pictures of objects on your daily walk?
