Here we go Year 2! We are nearly there.
World Book Day (Thursday 4th March)
Just to let you know It is World Book Day On Thursday (4th March). As we are unable to be in school we would love for you to still have the same fun. Come dressed as your favourite book character for our zoom meeting so we can have a character parade and join in with our book quiz. Also take a look at our main page and take part in our Masked Reader competition. Watch the video and see if you can guess who is reading their book behind a mask. Make a list of who you think they all are and post it on seesaw. The person/people with the most correct guesses will win a prize! Remember to post your list by Wednesday this week though.

Phonics
Today we are going to be looking at all the different graphemes for the ‘or’ sound. There are many different ways to represent this grapheme but some are more common than others. If you want a reminder of how to pronounce this grapheme watch the video below.
Mathematics
We are continuing with division today. You will need to make equal groups by sharing (dividing). Remember this is just the opposite to the multiplication we have been doing. Instead of finding out how many you have altogether you already know how many you have altogether and how many groups you have. Your job is to find out how many are in each group instead by sharing equally. The video below can give you further support.
English
This week we are going to be looking at and writing our own minibeast poems. Today we would like you to read different minibeast poems. Once you have read them we would like you to become a bug poem detective! We would like you to find and list all the different minibeast in the poems. Once you have found all of these we would like you to detect as many adjectives (describing words), verbs (action words) and adverbs (describing action) as you can. I wonder how many you can find? Happy hunting everyone.
Science
Continuing with our topic of Wriggle and Crawl we are going to be looking at microhabitats today. We would like you to tell us what a microhabitat is and what type of living things use these as their homes. Once you have discovered this see if you can find two different microhabitats where you live. You might look in your garden, along the road you live in, in the park are maybe you could go for a walk with your family and find them along the way. Once you have found two different microhabitats use the enquiry sheet to draw and label them. Have fun hunting out those habitats!
