Good morning my lovely Year 2 class, how was your weekend? I hope you had a nice time. We had a quiet one, but I did harvest some of my vegetables and made a lovely lunch…
The quiche has spinach from the veg plot and the salad, potatoes and peas are from there too! I can’t quite believe I’ve managed to grow so much as I’ve never been successful in the past. I really think that growing things has helped me to relax in these strange times. What activities have helped you over the last 3 months?
So the suggested schedule for today is as follows...
E.R.I.C. - Everybody Reading in Class for 20 mins
Active time - Joe Wicks is on today or try ‘Believer’ on Go Noodle
Maths/Literacy - do this in batches of 20 mins each, build in breaks.
Geography
Maths
LO: : column addition 2-digits add 2-digits no re-grouping
- 108 + 10 = ?
- Partition 12 in 3 different ways.
- 35 - 7 = ?
- 120 ÷ 10 =
- What number is 9 more than 36?
- Make £2 with 3 coins
Here we have the numbers 23 and 35. Think about how you would add these numbers together…
You could add the tens to make 50 and the ones to make 8 and then slap them together to make 58. Did you think of this way? Good.
Today we’re going to look at a new way of adding two two-digit numbers together by using the ‘column addition’ method.
With this method, it is important that you set your work out really neatly and ensure your numbers are in the correct place value.
There are a few rules with column addition – if you follow them, you’ll be flying! Here goes…
1) Set your numbers out in the correct place value like so…
2) Start from the right hand side – so in our case the ‘ones’ column. Add the ones up and put the total underneath, like this…
3) Now add the ‘tens’ column up and put the number underneath.
Now try this one: 17 + 41 =
Use the column method, check your answer using partitioning (10 + 40 and 7 + 1).
Now try these:
- 24 + 43
- 52 + 17
- 81 + 15
- 34 + 44
- 76 + 23
English
Here are this week’s spellings:
capital
animal
crystal
magical
tropical
festival
sandal
As usual you will find them on Spelling Shed and the transcript for Spelling Planet is here to download.
This week we are going to look at a wonderful Australian author and illustrator – Shaun Tan. You may have come across some of his work before. I really like his unusual, intricate drawings and that some of his books are just pictures, so that you can tell your own story from them.
Today I’d like you to explore Shaun’s website at:
http://www.shauntan.net/about.html
You can have look at all his links but I’d like you to focus on the 'about me' section in order to answer these questions:
- Where did Shaun Tan grow up?
- What degree did he gain?
- In what city does he work now?
- Name three of Shaun’s books.
- Which Pixar film did Shaun work on?
- What award did Shaun win in 2011?
I hope you enjoy finding out about Shaun Tan!
Geography
LO: To explore the physical features and landscapes of Australia.
Do you remember talking about what a physical feature is when we did our Arctic topic? Can you remember what it is? A physical feature is a landmark made by nature and not by humans. Can you think of the physical features you have seen where you live?
Look through this week’s presentation with your adult. Then see how much you can remember by completing this activity:
Stay safe and enjoy your day! Remember Mrs Matthews will be on the blog tomorrow.

Happy Friday everyone! Wow! It’s been a hot one this week, I hope you’ve managed to stay safe in the sun with plenty of ice lollies?
So the suggested schedule for today is as follows...
E.R.I.C. - Everybody Reading in Class for 20 mins
Active time - Go Noodle (Have a go at 'Roar' if you can!) or Andy’s Wild Workouts
Maths/Literacy - do this in batches of 20 mins each, build in breaks.

Maths
LO: Place value
- 203 + 10 = ?
- Partition 10 in 3 different ways.
- 34 – 14 = ?
- 110 ÷ 10 =
- What number is 7 more than 56?
- Make £1.80 with 5 coins
Have a look at these interactive place value cards:
https://www.ictgames.com/mobilePage/arrowCards/
Make the number 124 by clicking on the + or – keys like so:
How would you partition 124? Click on each card to see it partition the number:
From this, we can create the number sentence:
100 + 20 + 4 = 124
Now try with 427. Use the place value cards to help you. Now write the number sentence to go with it. Repeat with 888.
Now try these, remember to write the addition number sentence:
- 567
- 786
- 238
- 472
- 189
- 608
- 320
- 999
English
Today I would like you to draw your own picture of Uluru. You can draw this however you like – felt tips, paints, coloured pencils or even collage. While you are drawing it, think of some words that could describe the rock. Put your words on separate pieces of paper. Some examples might be:
Rugged
Rough
Arid
Deserted
Breath-taking.
Then think of some sentences to describe Uluru – use all your research and knowledge to help you. You can keep these quite simple, some examples could be:
Rising out of the ground.
A giant on the landscape.
Again, write these on separate pieces of paper. Once you have a good number of words and sentences, spread them out in front of you and pair them up. So it might be:
Breath-taking. A giant on the landscape.
Rugged. Rising out of the ground.
Keep going with your word and sentence matching. Play around with the overall order of your work. Once you have completed this, you will have created a descriptive poem to add to your illustration! I look forward to reading yours!
Creative Friday
Have a go at this crossword about Australian animals (if you click on the picture a PDF will open up):
Today looks like it might be quite rainy, so here's a inside creative idea...Make a paper plate Sydney Harbour Bridge.
To make each the bridge you will need:
- paper plate
- two paper cups
- scissors
- black marker
- toothpick
- Australian flag sticker
- tape
You can find the instructions on how to make it here.
Have a fantastic day and send me all your photos by lunchtime to ensure you appear in this week’s gallery.

A very sunny good morning to you all!
Well wasn’t it hot yesterday! It is meant to be just as hot today if not even hotter so stay safe! At the weekend, we went for a walk with some incredible views in Marsden. While on the walk, I saw this and had to share it with you …
Don’t you just love the hair on these characters?!
Here's the suggested timetable:
E.R.I.C. - Everybody Reading in Class for 20mins (remember to record your reading in your reading record)
Active time - Joe Wicks is showing guiding a PE lesson at 9am (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAxW1XT0iEJo0TYlRfn6rYQ)
Don’t forget GoNoodle:
Science
PSHE
Break – Spend some time in the shade and make a picture using natural materials.
PE
Computing

Today, we are going to look at world habitats. Do you remember how plants and animals rely on the environment around them to provide them with everything they need? This means they have to live somewhere that has the right conditions to help them stay alive and well. Because different places around the world have different conditions, the plants and animals that live there are different too.
Here is a PowerPoint about different habits from around the world.
You are going to do some research about habitats. Researching means finding out more information about something you are interested in.
Here is a sheet to help you write down your research.
PSHE
What lovely weather we are having at the moment! As we approach summer and the warmer weather, we need to be careful! Here is a PowerPoint about how to keep safe in the weather.
Can you make some posters that we could share with everyone about how to keep safe in this very hot sun?
PE
In PE we are going to carry on with Paralympic sports!
Today, I would like you to have a go at boccia. Here is a video which explains what boccia is:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itPWqcx7xBg
Have a go at this at home, you could use any balls you like or if you don’t have any, you could always use a ball of socks like in our SockPutt. How will you keep score? Let us know who wins!
Computing
Can you hear that sound? It is the sound of million and millions of people going wild for your music! Make a piece of music today to match the weather, here is one that makes me think of summer:

Good morning Class 2! I hope that you are OK today. A huge thank you to Mrs Matthews for taking over the blog yesterday as part of our transition work. I hope you enjoyed doing the work and I have been telling her all about you and how fantastic you are!
So the suggested schedule for today is as follows...
E.R.I.C. - Everybody Reading in Class for 20 mins
Active time - Joe Wicks is back showing a PE lesson at 9am or Go Noodle – another recommendation from me is ‘Popping Bubbles’ – but it’s difficult to get the song out of your head – you have been warned!
Maths/Literacy - do this in batches of 20 mins each, build in breaks.

Maths
LO: Round 2-digit numbers to nearest 10.
- 120 + 32 = ?
- Partition 7 in 3 different ways.
- 78 - 27 = ?
- 70 ÷ 10 =
- What number is 8 more than 37?
- Make £1.50 with 3 coins
On Monday, you were placing numbers on a number line. It helped to think about which ten number your numbers were closer to. You were really ‘rounding to the nearest 10’.
Have a look at this 0–10 number line. Point to 3: Is this closer to 0 or 10?
How about 8? Is this closer to 0 or 10? How about 4? Is this closer to 0 or 10? How about 5? Is this closer to 0 or 10? This is a trick one - although 5 is in the middle, mathematicians have decided (so that we all do the same thing) that we will round 5 up to the 10 above.
Look at this 30–40 number line. Mark 33 on the line. Is this closer to 30 or 40? What is 33 rounded to the nearest 10? Repeat for 38, 32, then 35 (remember the rule!)
Now generate a 2-digit number by rolling a 1–9 dice twice or use number cards or you can use this number wheel: https://wordwall.net/resource/43862/maths/two-digit-number-wheel
Then, round your number to the nearest 10! Repeat.

First of all, have a go at this alphabetical order challenge:
How did your research on Uluru go on Monday? It really is the most fascinating place. If you didn’t get chance to have a look into this mysterious landmark, then here is some more information for you to read today. There is a Powerpoint presentation – perhaps this includes some of your own facts?
Here is a sheet with some questions to answer - adults, the answers are at the end of the PDF!
R.E.
LO: What are the stories about Jesus healing and caring for people?
What are the stories about Jesus healing and caring for people? Have a look at this clip:
Reflect upon the changes that Jesus bought to the man’s life. Think of some ways in which Christians and other people can show care for the sick today, especially during the pandemic. What might you do to make someone feel better?
I hope you have a wonderful day! Keep smiling!
