Making Monday

Remember how you used to love Golden Time in Year 2, especially when Mrs Robinson would bring all her empty boxes in? Why not gather all the empty boxes that you can, some glue, tape, scrap paper etc and let your imagination take over! Will you build a robot, a car or even a machine to blast covid19 into oblivion???!!!

Alternatively, why not use the materials, you have in the house create a collage of a tsunami?

Don't forget to share your work with us on ClassDojo.

Tuneful Tuesday

Do you have an instrument at home? Why not get it out and have a play with it? If you don’t have an instrument why not make a comb kazoo? When I was young, my uncle used to get a comb, fold a piece of paper over it and blow on it. It was a comb kazoo! Why not have a go yourself? If you can get an adult to record you, would be great to hear your tunes!

Wednesday

English

Today’s lesson is focusing on grammar, look at the BBC Bitesize website to refresh your knowledge of grammar in these areas.

We would like you work through the videos and activities on verbs, pronouns and adverbs. These don’t take very long so when you have completed the tasks we would like you to write sentences containing verbs, pronouns and adverbs as practise. You can upload these to Dojo so we can see your understanding.
