Morning work
Facts at your fingertips!
Find the booklet called 'Weekly Written Arithmetic Questions' Turn to Week 3. Use your watch or a timer to see how quickly you can complete all the questions. Stop after 5 minutes.
Y2 - You can miss out questions 16.
Now log onto Teams and click on the Assignments tab. You will see an assignment called 'Weekly written arithmetic 3'. Click on the assignment and complete the questions by clicking on the answer that you have written down in your booklet. I have not set all the questions.
English 
Can you remember how to correctly form the capital letters D, M and T? Have a quick practice by using your white board pen and following the arrows to complete the letters D, M and T on the laminated letter formation sheet. Remember all the capital letters start at the top and you never go back up and down the same line.

If this was your story what would happen next? What would the dragons do? What would George find when he woke up? How would he get back home?
In your Yellow Home School book write the title
My Ending
Now write the short date in the margin.
Draw a picture for your ending of the story. Write sentences to tell me your ending of the story.
Y2 - The picture is optional or you might want to draw it after you have writen your ending if you have time. Can you include interesting story language (words and ideas from books you have read or heard) to make it exciting for me to read.
Here are some ideas that you could use from our Teams chat.
Take a photo of your work and post it into your private area on Teams. (If you have problems doing that then email it to me at mrshickingbotham@gfschools.co.uk)

Topic 
On Friday you found lots of objects around your house that were made of different materials. How did you know what material they were made of?
How did Kitson know that the egg shaped object was actually made of stone? How did James know that the floor which looked like wood was actually porcelain?
Do the different materials feel the same? Do they smell the same? Do they sound the same when you tap them?
How can you describe the different materials? Find different objects made of the same material e.g. wood. Use your senses to decide what wood looks like, feels like, smells like, sounds like (Don't taste anything). Think of a type of material. Describe it to someone in your family. Can they guess what material you are thinking of? Add your words on Teams.
