Transition Tuesday 7th July
Posted: Jul 6, 2020 by: Elaine Matthews (EMatthews) on: Class 2
Hello again class 2!
It's so lovely to get the opportunity once again to post a blog to you all! I'm really looking forward to you all joining me in September and have so many wonderful activities planned for you all!
Thank you for sending me all your lovely photos last week and for sending your questions for my current class. They were very excited about replying to you and have written some letters for you. Here is just a sample!
One or two of you gave me letters too; here are some of my replies .....
- Yes I do love pets. I have a dog called Poppy!
- Yes, I do like chocolate, chocolate cake and an occasional cup of coffee too (although I am being good at the moment)!!
- Yes you are right, I do love art.
- We will do lots of sport; gymnastics, hockey, netball, cricket, dance, athletics, rugby, orienteering and much more!!
- We don't tend to do 'Go noodle' but we do exercise every single day and during some of our other lessons too!! We like to keep fit in class 3!!
Here are your activities for today;
P.E.
I thought you might like to begin with a quick exercise work out! Try this one today if you like!

Literacy;
Today I'd really like you to write your own letter. You could write a little letter to me if you like to ask me any further questions and to tell me what sorts of things you'd quite like to do during your first week in class 3.
If you prefer you can write a letter back to class 3 to thank them for their letters. It is entirely up to you.
Please make sure your letter is written in your best handwriting using your very best punctuation and spelling. Make sure it looks bright and colourful too! You might want to decorate it or add a colourful picture.
Maths;
6 questions;
- 56 - 23
- 67 - 21
- 45 - 22
- 73 - 42
- 45 + 23
- 54 + 33
Problem;
If I bought 35 ice lollies for class 3 and 22 melted, how many would I have left? Can you show me your calculation?
Activity;
L.O. To create 2D shapes and hence an interesting piece of art work!!
You can use whatever resources you like for this activity. You might want to use cocktail sticks, crayons, match sticks, chocolate matchmakers (yum), pasta or whatever you can!! Let's see who can use the most original item!!
Choose a contrasting background and create as many 2D shapes as you can with the items you use. Can you add a label for each shape you make? Can you take a photo?
If you like you could have a go at creating one or two 3D shapes too if you like; you'll need tasty marshmallows or blue-tac for the vertices though!
Art:
Finally, here's an exciting challenge for you! Please can you select items from your recycling bin and create a model of whatever you want; it is entirely up to you. You can use whatever you have to fix the items together and if you have some do make use of paint and create a realistic and colourful model. You might decide to make an animal (perhaps Australian), an alien, a structure of some kind.....the choice is yours! If you add glue to your paint you will find it sticks to the model much better. Have fun! I might even have a go myself!!
Please send me a photo!
Have a wonderful day and enjoy yourselves!
Please send any messages or photos to me via the year 3 blog;

See you very soon!
Love from,
