Morning work
Practice your mental maths by playing on Years 2 - TTRockstar or Year 1 - Numbots. Remember that it is about remembering your number bonds or times tables so you are trying to get quicker and quicker.
English 
Today we are going to be practicing a short ladder letter with a tail. Can you guess what it is? Watch the video below to find out.

Y1 practice the letter 'j' on the 5th page of your Handwriting 2 booklet. It should say 'Short ladder letters' at the top of the page.
Y2 practice the letter 'j' and the words 'jug' and 'join' on the page headed 'Joining from g,j,h' in Handwriting 7. Watch out for those top joins from 'o' to 'i' that we practiced a few weeks ago.
Little Red - Wolf Circus
At the wolf circus wolves learn to drive a steam roller and juggle and learn how to fish. They learn how to bake a cake because Grandmas love cake. Wolves learn how to walk and wear clothes.
They learn to cycle and juggle and clap their hands.

I have set some activities for this story in PurpleMash . Login and click on '2Do'.
Y2 How do you think Anna is feeling? Why? Is Granny's house next to lots of other houses? What noise did the stairs make? Has she noticed anything about Granny's voice? Write a few sentences to tell me how Anna is feeling and why. Now get your highlighter pen and highlight all the capital letters, full stops and any other punctuation marks that you have used.
Y1 Maths

The page in your Maths No Problem book today is 109.
Y2 Maths
Let's look again at different ways to say the same time.
→
←
Complete the third page in your Time Practice booklet. It has two clocks at the top which show the analogue time and digital time. I also want you to have a go at using our new vocabulary 'quarter past' so I have added these words below.
Underneath each analogue clock write the digital time then have a go at writing the time as 'quarter past' just like I have.
If you want more practice telling the time to o'clock and half past then choose a page from your Time Revision booklet. You can do any page you want because I am not going to be setting work from that booklet. It is just for you to use to practice.
