Good morning Class 2 and parents,

Please find below the learning for today.

I have created a housepoint sticker as it’s a shame not to keep those going for positive things that you may do. I will keep a note and let you know how many you have collected at half-term. Look out for one in your feedback!

Reading Books

Reading is so important and we try to encourage the children to read every day. I’m sure you have lots of books at home that the children can read and have read to them, but in addition to this you could use the Oxford Owl Free eBook library to access reading books which are colour banded, as they are in school.

The log in details for the class account are:

Don’t worry if it says ‘We’re sorry’ Users are experiencing issues – I have tried it and it does work.

The storyteller videos below are also nice for the children to listen to:

Good morning Class 2 and parents,

I hope you are all very well. I’m very sorry Class 2 that we can not begin the Spring term in school together as normal but we will keep positive and do our best online! We will still cover all the topics that we had planned and I’m sure you will enjoy learning about them.

Please find below an overview of the curriculum we will be covering this term.

Curriculum Overview Spring Term

Below is the timetable that we would follow in school which we will try to stick to from next week. It may help the children to look at the timetable to see what subjects they will have each day.

Daily Learning

I will send an email each morning to you by 9.00am with a link to the class page which will contain the learning for the day. Please could I kindly request that, if possible, you acknowledge the email by 9.30am to confirm that you have seen the work that has been set for the day.

Please email work to me in any format. It could be a photograph of work that has been done on paper or in a notebook or it could be a screen shot which has then been edited. (This might be useful for some of the maths work set.)

Work can be sent to me throughout the day and I will respond with feedback as soon as possible. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any problems with any aspects of the work or indeed any other issues concerning your child’s welfare, during this difficult time, that we could help with.

You can contact me at class2@brownclee.shropshire.sch.uk

Many thanks,

Mrs Nicky Morris

Class 2 have made some lovely medieval banners. They designed them to go in ‘The Great Hall’ of a castle, ready for a royal banquet.

Well done Class 2, they look great in the classroom!

This week, in our phonic sessions we will be learning/revising split vowel digraphs. Please have a look at the resources below if you feel like you need some extra practise.

This term, Class 2 have been doing some great topic work on Castles and Knights. They have also been working hard on their writing. They have written letters to the character of the dragon based on the book, ‘The Paper-bag Princess’. They are currently planning their own version of the story,  ‘Into the Forest’ by Anthony Browne.

In Science, Class 2 have been exploring materials. We carried out an investigation to test the absorbency of seven different materials.

Before testing the materials we predicted what the outcome would be.
We dipped the materials in water, coloured with blue paint so we could see the liquid soaking into each material.

To make sure it was a ‘fair test’ we made each piece of material the same size and dipped them into the liquid at the same time, then waited 30 seconds.

Class 2 have completed their art work producing their version of ‘Castle and Sun’ and ‘Cat and Bird’ by the artist Paul Klee.

In Art, we have been learning about the artist Paul Klee and his painting called ‘Castle and Sun’.

Class 2 have used this as inspiration for their own versions. They used 2D shapes, wax crayons and a paint wash to create their pictures.
