Hello Class 2. How are you feeling today? I hope you are OK, I know that some days are harder than others and we sometimes find it hard to get motivated. I find writing a list helps me to get things done, and also rewarding myself after each activity that I do - with a nice cup of tea or 10 minutes reading a magazine. Have you got any lockdown tips for your classmates? Perhaps you could comment on this blog with some advice?
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 showing a PE lesson at 9am or Go Noodle
Maths/Literacy - do this in batches of 20 mins each, build in breaks.
RE
Maths
LO: Use coins to make amounts to at least £1
- 45 + 46 =
- 67 – 50 =
- 8 + 21 + 9 =
- 70 ÷ 10 =
- Write seventeen in digits.
- Partition 56 into 10s and 1s
OK, so today I’d like you to grab as much change (money) as you can! Please ask politely – don’t just pinch your adult’s spare change! Firstly, arrange your change into the different coins. Can you recognise all the different coins? Can you count how much change there is? How will you go about this? Do you need to write anything down or can you keep the numbers in your head? When you’ve used coins, remember to wash your hands really well. Now have a go at this:

What did you think to Mousehole? I would imagine it might be on your wish list of places to visit when we can! Now to the book, ‘The Mousehole Cat’ by Antonia Barber.
I’d like to introduce you to the main characters – Tom and his cat, Mowzer. Here’s the first picture in the book, it’s a beautiful illustration.
This week, I’d like you to describe this image in detail. Today we are going to create our own word bank to help us to do that. Use this word bank frame or create your own to start to think of words to use in your writing. Can you use a dictionary to find some new words that you’d like to use? Remember this is a brainstorming activity, so you might not use all your words when you come to write your description on Friday.
R.E.
I received many pictures of your RE work from last week. Your hands were beautiful with many lovely ideas about what you might want to pray for at this moment in time. This week, I’d like you to think about how Christians pray and what symbols help them to focus when they are praying. Have a chat about the question: do you need to go to church to pray? Have a look at this bbc clip about Christians and why they pray: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02q88sl Often people might use a candle to help them focus in prayer or meditation. With an adult, you might want to light a candle and at a safe distance, focus on the flame for a few minutes, think about the things you are grateful for at this time.
Here is the Lego challenge for the day. Remember to email us your creations! If you don't have Lego, don't worry any construction material will do. Good luck ...
Have you been in touch with me this week? If not, get emailing me at class2@netherthongprimary.co.uk or comment on the blog. I’ll be in touch if I don’t hear from you to see how you are.
Stay safe!

Good morning Class 2! It was lovely being in school yesterday as I got so many emails from you all and I made a few phone calls too. I hope that when we look back on this time in a few years time, you will have some fond memories about all your adventures and the time you are having with your families. At 11am today there will be a minute's silence to remember NHS workers who have sadly died during the coronavirus outbreak, I hope you will partake.
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 showing a PE lesson at 9am or Go Noodle
Maths/Literacy - do this in batches of 20 mins each, build in breaks.
Music
PE
Maths
LO: Add pairs of 2-digit numbers by partitioning or counting on.
- 35 + 24 =
- 65 – ? = 38
- 5 + 35 + 9 =
- 60 ÷ 10 =
- Write thirteen in digits.
- Partition 89 into 10s and 1s.
How did you get on with adding yesterday? Talk to your adult about how you would do: 31 + 46, can you also work out 46 + 31? What can you say about this? Today you could use this number generator to make your own number sentences to complete. The more practise you do, the better!
English
Hopefully, yesterday you had a good conversation about what a legend is. A legend is a story that has some truth in it and the Mousehole Cat is a retelling of the true story of Tom Bawcock which is commemorated every December in the village of Mousehole in Cornwall.
What I'd like you to do today is have a look at this website: https://www.cornwalls.co.uk/mousehole and find out about Mousehole. You could write a few sentences about what the village is like and try to locate it on a map. Now can you answer these questions:
- Mousehole is a picturesque fishing village on the south coast of Cornwall between which town and Land’s End?
- What are local cottages made out of?
- Which writer described Mousehole as the ‘loveliest’ village in England?
- Which lifeboat was sadly lost at sea in 1981?
- How would you describe the streets in Mousehole?
- Which cove can you walk to on the coastal path?
Music
Last week you were learning the song 'I do like to be beside the seaside'. This week can you use 2explore on PurpleMash to compose your own seaside tune. You could be inspired by the waves and the birds. Save your composition in your file for me to have a listen to!
PE
So last week you were making maps of your house or garden. How did that go? Can you now use your map to create a trail. You could place clues/letters/numbers in locations around your house or garden then draw them on the map. Ask someone to use the map to find all your hidden clues/letters/numbers. Can they then do the same for you?
Here is the Lego challenge for today! Remember to email us your creations! If you don't have Lego, don't worry any construction material will do …
Enjoy your work today. Remember to keep in touch, either by emailing me at class2@netherthongprimary.co.uk or by commenting on the blog. I’ll be in touch if I don’t hear from you to see how you are.
Stay safe!

Happy Monday everyone. I hope you enjoyed the beautiful sunny weekend. Did you spot any birds? We saw lots in our garden including goldfinches, robins, blackbirds, blue-tits and we spent some time watching the crows annoying a huge buzzard circling the area! We can hear plenty of chicks nesting in the bushes too. Did any of you renew your Scout promise yesterday in honour of St George’s Day?
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 showing a PE lesson at 9am or Go Noodle
Maths/Literacy - do this in batches of 20 mins each, build in breaks.
History
Maths
LO: Add pairs of 2-digit numbers by partitioning or counting on
- 24 + 54 =
- 56 – ? = 27
- 22 + 7 + 18 =
- 18 ÷ 2 =
- Write seventeen in digits.
- Partition 55 into 10s and 1s
Do you remember using the partitioning method to add two numbers, like this:
32 + 24
= 30 + 20 + 2 + 4
= 50 + 6
= 56
Have a go at the number sentences in Part A and then move onto Part B if you have time. Remember to write out the steps as above if you need to.
English
Here are this week’s spellings:
sipping
putting
grabbing
stepping
jogging
slipping
getting
popping
chatting
As usual, you will find these on Spelling Shed and here’s the transcript from Spelling Planet.
Why not write some sentences using these words in your yellow book. Remember to really concentrate and use your best handwriting.
In English this week, we shall be using this book:
It is a beautiful story filled with amazing illustrations. In fact it’s a legend. Before we look at this story, talk with your adult about you they understand a legend to be. How does it differ from a myth? What other legends do you know or can find out about? There’s no need to write anything down if you don’t want to, just research and discuss!
History
I loved hearing about your conversation with your families surrounding seaside holidays. Look at this presentation together and discuss your thoughts. Now, have a look at these pictures cards to find clues about what seaside holidays were like in the past. Record your ideas on the mindmap.
Here is the Lego challenge for today! Remember to email me your creations! If you don't have Lego, don't worry any construction material will do …
Enjoy your work today. Remember to keep in touch, either by emailing me at class2@netherthongprimary.co.uk or by commenting on the blog. I’ll be in touch if I don’t hear from you to see how you are.

Homework 24th April 2020
admin on: Class 2
Have you noticed that more birds are visiting your garden? I know I have! This weekend why don't you do a bit of bird spotting? How many birds can you already identify? Are there some visitors to your garden or outside area that you don't know? You can have a look at the RSPB website to identify birds here. You might want to do a garden bird survey or entice some birds into your garden by making some bird feed. You could just spend a bit of time with your adult/s gazing out of the window and chatting about what you can see. We have a heron that regularly flies over our house and we always shout 'heron!' really loud. We've also spotted plenty of buzzards - although they haven't visited our garden! And we can hear the distinctive call of the pheasants in the fields.
Have fun this weekend with a bit of bird watching and see you back here on Monday!
