Year 2 – Thursday 7th May

Posted on May 7, 2020 by Mrs Legg

Good morning Year 2!

Today’s blog is a little bit different so please make sure that you read it carefully.

Tomorrow is VE Day and that means three things.

  1. I won’t be blogging any lessons for you tomorrow as many people across the country are taking a day off from work to remember VE Day.
  2. You need to find some time for an extra Maths lesson before Monday (see below).
  3. Today’s activities are all about VE Day!

What is VE Day?

Before you do anything else today, have a look at this PowerPoint to find out what VE Day is all about.  To give you some context – back in October and November we learnt all about World War 1.  VE Day celebrated the end of World War 2 which happened about 20 years later.

VE Day Information

Literacy

Today’s Literacy task is all about VE Day.

VE Day Writing Task

Maths

Today we are learning about non-unit fractions.

Find today’s maths sheet and get ready with a pencil.  The video will tell you when to answer the questions on the sheet.  To find the video, you need to go to this website:

https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-2/

When you are there, you need to click on Week 2, Lesson 4 – Non-unit Fractions.  It looks like this:

You’ll notice in your packs that there is also a lesson for tomorrow.  To find that lesson, you need to go to Week 2, Lesson 5 – Equivalence of a half and two quarters.  It looks like this:

It is completely up to you when you do that lesson.  You might want to do it today, tomorrow or at some point over the weekend.  Maybe you could do it instead of your handwriting/spelling time today.  Find a time that works for you and your family.  On Monday we will be moving on to the next lesson.

Other VE Day activities

Once you have done your Literacy and Maths today, you can spend the rest of the day doing some activities to remember and celebrate VE Day.  I have put lots of ideas below.  I’m not expecting you to have time to do all of them!  Choose one or two that interest you most.  You can print some of these at home but if you don’t have a printer, I’ve given other ideas, too.

Design a VE Day medal

Morse Code

Make a Spitfire (If you don’t have a printer, make your own paper aeroplane and decorate it to look like a Spitfire)

VE Day Bunting (If you don’t have a printer, you can just cut triangles out of any paper you have and decorate them.)

Colouring Page (If you don’t have a printer, draw your own picture of a VE Day street party.)

Songs, Dances and Food for a VE Day party at home

I hope you have lots of fun learning about VE Day today.  Remember, you can take photos of what you do and send them to photos@allsoulsprimary.co.uk – I’d love to see them.

Have a great day and a great weekend.  I’ll write to you again on Monday.

Love from Mrs Legg

      Hello Christian. I’ve still only watched 3 Star Wars films. It’s a long weekend now so I’m sure by the next time we speak I’ll have watched another one!
