What happened next in the picture below? Can you write a description to tell us what you think is going to happen? This is called a prediction when we use what we know about the world to help us have a guess. There is no right or wrong answer.

Reading

Can you have a go at this week’s reading challenge? How many words can you read in one minute? The target for a child in year two is approximately 90 words per minute!

Maths:

Have a go at one of the Practical activities on the Maths page on our school website. https://www.hornseaprimaryschool.net/practical-maths/

There are a range of activities including some fun baking recipes and building challenges!

Physical:

See if you can join in the lava zone! Follow the instructions on the video to make an exciting obstacle course in your home or garden. Just remember to make sure you’re in a safe place before you start and ask a grown up to help you set up your course, so you don’t step on anything you’re not supposed to!

Once you’ve warmed up your voice, see if you create your own warm up using silly phrases – can you add clapping like we did in lesson?

Or you could even create your own song using things you can see around you!

We hope you have a wonderful day! From Mrs Beaumont, Mrs Midgley and Mrs Burton.

12 – 3 = 9

1. 2, 5, 7

How do you feel when you have been kind? Can you explain it to someone in your house? Could you draw a picture to show what kindness is?

We hope you have a wonderful day! From Mrs Beaumont, Mrs Midgley and Mrs Burton.
