Class 2 - Friday 19th June

18 Jun 2020


                                                                
                                                                                
Good Morning Everyone!  

Let's start the day with some fun.  I hope that you enjoy watching this short clip from the film 
'Rio'. It takes us back to the rainforest. Look out for the beautiful birds in the clip.  We're going to be thinking about colourful birds in our story and maths work:
                                                     
                                       
                                         Click on the picture to start the film clip.

Well done everyone!  It's Friday and you will soon be able to enjoy the weekend.  I hope that you are all well and ready for today's activities. Thankyou for all the brilliant work that you've done this week.  You have found lots of information about different places all over the world. 

Please take a look in our 'Around the World' Gallery page, to see a selection of the lovely work that has been done.  

Collective Worship:

 P.E:

You could do a morning routine with Joe Wicks, find a fun activity on GoNoodle or try something new like yoga:  https://www.harrogatessp.com/keeping-all-young-people-active/

You might like to do one of these activities, or maybe go for a walk, run or do some cycling. 
                                                                                                                                                                               
                                       


Reading:
Try to read a variety of books at home each day.  Aim to spend at least twenty minutes reading. This can be reading a book aloud or sharing a book with an adult. It might be a book from your bookshelf, a book from school or an online text.  
 
 

 Today, we're going to share a story called: ‘The Black Hat’  Click on the hat to open the story. 

Guided Reading Discussion Questions:
Here are some questions for you to discuss with an adult. 
• What do we call a child who has no parents?
• Do we know any other stories set in a house in the woods?
• What type of stories often include orphans and houses in the woods?
Watch up to just before he finds the hat.
• What words does the narrator use to describe the forest? • What sounds does he hear?
Pause the film after when the boy finds the hat.
• Who do you think this hat may have belonged to?
Pause the film after the narrator has described the creatures.
• How do you think the boy is feeling?
• What creatures can we see? • Can you describe some of the creatures?
Pause after 1 min 30 – when the boy is admiring the caged creatures.
• Why has the boy put them in the jars and cages? • What does he like about the animals?
• Do you think it is right to keep animals locked in cages?
Pause the film when only the normal birds came.
• How do you think the boy is feeling now?
• What other words do we know for sad? • What things can make us sad?
Pause the film after the boy calls out ‘Please come back to me!’
• What else could the boy say to the bird to persuade him to come back with him?
• What do you think the bird might say back if it could talk?
• What do you think the boy is going to do?.
• Is there a lesson to this story? A moral? • How should we treat wild creatures?

 
Writing: Grammar and Poetry Writing:
Verbs and adverbs.  
Do you remember that verbs are action words,adverbs describe how the actions are happening?

Can you think of some more ‘dancing’ verbs ?  You might need to watch 'The Black Hat' video clip again.
           flying swooping twirling plunging
 
 
 
     
 
 
     

Adverbs describe how the actions are being performed.  
Adverbs often end in 'ly' 
Can you find some more dancing adverbs?
  
briskly
       gently   swiftly          easily
 
 
     
 
 
     
 
Here is the beginning of an adverb and verb poem.  The adverbs and verbs are paired together to create each line:
The Birds
Gently flying,
Delicately turning,
Easily twirling,
Expertly plunging...

This poem is beginning very gently but perhaps the bird could build up some speed in the poem.
Can you write some more lines to add to this poem, using the verbs and adverbs that you collected?
Then, write the poem in your best handwriting.  You could add a picture to show what is happening in the poem.
