Reading Y1 & Y2 Read a few pages from your school book. Then quiet reading for 20 mins - you can carry on reading your school book, or choose a book you have at home. Think about a quiet place you could go to read. Maybe outside? Music We have a new music website called Charanga that you can log into. There is music to listen to, activities to do and games to play. Click on this link https://charanga.com Now click on Login then Charanga Yumu . Your username is the same as your PurpleMash username but you need to add '1' at the end so if my username was kayh for PurpleMash then it is kayh1 for Charanga Yumu.

Click on Assignments then Zootime – Step 1 On the right hand side you will see 4 activities that you will be doing each day this week. Today click on the first activity ‘Listen and Appraise – Zootime’ Stand up and move to the music. Do you like the song? What can you hear? Is there anyone singing? Are there any instruments? Is it fast, slow or inbetween? Does it sound like anything else you have listened to? How is the song put together – does it have sections where only instruments are playing? You could click on ‘About the song’ to find out what style it is. Topic Look around your house or farm. I wonder how things have changed over the years. What did people do before we had televisions, computers, phones, washing machines, cars, electric or gas cookers? What can you find out?
Other Things What else are you doing at Home School? Last night I camped out in the garden in a tent. When it was dark I climbed out the tent to do some stargazing, then in the morning I listened to the birds singing. This morning I wrote a story whilst sitting in my tent. What super sentences you have written for your diary!
