Tuesday

To be able to exchange a coin with other coins of different denominations.

Let's explore.

Let's learn.

Let's try the guided practice together.

Turn to page 27 and 28.

Today, you are going to continue your own stories based on the original. It's your chance to show the skills you have learned and just how imaginative you can be.

Things to include in your story:

• past tense
• time adverbials
• coordinating conjunctions
• subordinating conjunctions
• adjectives
• question and exclamation marks

Things all writing should include in Year 2:

• finger spaces
• capital letters and full stops
• neat/joined handwriting
• phonics/spelling rules

To make sure we write to the best of our ability we must: sit comfortably, hold our pencil correctly and manage our distractions.

Keep looking back at the story map you have drawn and say the sentence you are writing out loud along with your actions. 

Lastly-Don't forget the punctuation!

Can you sort objects identifying a range of properties?

• What do you think the image is and why? 

• What does the image remind you of and why? 

• Can you  describe the colours, shapes and textures? 

• What do you think the image is now – have you changed their minds? 

Materials have different properties that make them useful for different jobs.

Properties describe how a material behaves, and explain why it is well suited for a particular use. For example, metal has a high melting point (this is a property of most metals) so it is good to use to make a frying pan (this is the use of the material).

We are going to go on a properties hunt. There is a table on Seesaw for you to sort your pictures of objects you find that are rough, smooth, flexible and rigid.

When you have sorted your pictures please label which materials they are made from.
