Weekly English Tasks (plus daily reading) 

Year 2 English Tasks 

Year 3 English Tasks

(These are 2 week units of work.)

Spellings  - al and all making the 'or' sound

Can you find the  'al' or 'all' words in the paragraph below which make the 'or' sound? These are your spellings for this week

There was once a very tall man called Mr Chalk who lived with his dog, cat and also a cheeky hamster. Every day, he put on his hat and coat in the hallway, picked up a ball and called, ‘Come on, Fido! It’s time for your walk.’ Fido and his owner always went the same way so that Mr Chalk could have a talk with his friend Bob at his flower stall in the market. One day, as they passed the old castle walls, they noticed a strange shape stalking along through the grass. Just then, the rain started to fall in enormous splashy drops so they forgot the odd shape and ran to the market hall as fast as they could

Weekly Wider Curriculum Tasks

Geography - Look at a map of the world. Discuss the following
Can you find where we live? (England/United Kingdom) What countries are near ours? Can you find any other countries you have heard of? Are they near or far from England? What else have you noticed on the map? Do you know any very cold or very hot countries?

Science - The Environment

DT - This half term I will be asking you to research, design, make (if you can) and evaluate something so before we start, this week I would like you to learn about all the things we need to think about before we even start Designing

Picture News - Virtual Assembly 1st June

Story: There has been a huge increase in people wanting to work in the healthcare sector recently.

Question:  Why do people choose the jobs they do?

RE Ongoing Task

 

We would like you to learn more about the Churches in your local area. 

What are they called? How are they the same and how are they different? 

Think about why they are special to some people. Talk to people who have been inside to find out more about what is the same and different inside and why that might be.

 Can you work out what all or most Churches seem to have?

You could also research 1 or more of the Churches and find about their history 

or even do some Art or DT work inspired by them.

World Record Attempt

Hello to all of our wonderful children at Carlton-in-Snaith Primary School! I have received a letter from Bruno at TT Rockstars and I thought I would share it with you.

Now, I always say we should aim high but even if you don't quite manage the world record of over 150 in a single studio game, we would love to see your efforts. See how close you can get, can you beat your highest score? 

As Bruno explains, studio games include all of the times tables and associated division facts but as I regularly tell the children in Calder Class, it doesn't matter if you get any wrong- just keep going and see how many you can get right! Before you know it, you'll be getting higher and higher scores. Don't forget Percy Parker to help you learn the tables too (find him on YouTube) the songs are super catchy!

Send us your best efforts for us to share on our blogs :) or if you think you can beat the world record, send your video to the link below!

From Miss Watling 

Guess what!?

Times Tables Rock Stars have gotten in touch with GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS After some conversations they have created a new title - "the highest score achieved on ‘Times Tables Rock Stars in one minute!"

To make an Official Attempt, players need to record a video of themselves achieving their highest score in the Studio* and send the video to support@mathscircle.com by 23:59 UK time on 4th June 2020.

Read Official Attempt criteria in full

The highest scores we've seen over the years have been 150+ in a single Studio game so we know the standard for this global title will be high. 

Time to get rockin' during lock-in!

Bruno

*Studio games go up 12×12 and include corresponding division facts.

Half Term Holiday

Although it may not feel like it for many of you, it is actually the half term holiday so we will not be setting any work this week.
Here are a few suggestions of things you could do:

Carry out some random acts of kindness

1. Make your brother or sister’s bed for them.

2. Clear the table after dinner without being asked.

3. Send a letter to your grandma or granddad, or a relative you don’t see very often. Write it by hand, not on the computer!

4. Read your little brother or sister a bedtime story.

5. Pour the rest of your family a drink at mealtimes.

6.Draw your mum or dad a picture, just because you love them.

7. Try to pay someone a compliment every day – for example, you could tell them they make you laugh, or they’re a good friend, or that they’re brilliant at drawing.

8. Paint rocks with pretty pictures or positive sayings and hide them in your neighbourhood for other children to find.

9. When you go shopping with your mum or dad, choose an extra item of food to donate to a food bank.

10.Smile and say hello to people you pass when you're out exercising

Do a jigsaw or play a board game

Ruby has really enjoyed the Y2 Elves and the Shoemaker unit of work, I know lots of you have too!

Award-winning children’s author, Katherine Rundell, has  launched The Book of Hopes: Words and Pictures to Comfort, Inspire and Entertain Children in Lockdown. 

You can find the book on the link below.

Family Zone

Completely free for all children and families, the extraordinary collection of short stories, poems, essays and pictures has contributions from more than 110 children’s writers and illustrators, including Lauren Child, Anthony Horowitz, Greg James and Chris Smith, Michael Morpurgo, Liz Pichon, Axel Scheffler, Francesca Simon, Jacqueline Wilson – and Katherine herself.

The Book of Hopes aims to comfort, inspire and encourage children during lockdown through delight, new ideas, ridiculous jokes and heroic tales. There are true accounts of cats and hares and plastic-devouring caterpillars; there are doodles and flowers; revolting poems and beautiful poems; and there are stories of space travel and new shoes and dragons.

The collection is dedicated to the doctors, nurses, carers, porters, cleaners and everyone currently working in hospitals.
