Y2 Reading: Beaches
Hello Yellows,
Another week of learning is here. What can you do today to start the week?
1. Have you seen episode one of Through the Dragon’s Eye?
You’ll find the video in this blog post. I will be sharing all ten episodes with you across the term. Mr Morgan and Jenny watched this as a child when they were at primary school! Jenny has sent you a message, make sure you REPLY to her!
2. Purple Mash

Another week of activities have been chosen for you. Login and click ‘2Dos’ to find out what has been set. To login, use your personal MyMaths details. They are the same! You will find the 2nd chapter of our fiction story, along with a quick questions quiz and conjunctions quiz. There is an art task about rock pools, and a PSHCE task where you need to write three wishes for the world today.
3. MyMaths
https://login.mymaths.co.uk/login
By the end of Year 2, you need to know your 2x tables, 5x tables and 10x tables. You also need to know the inverse division facts. This week you’ll find questions on the 2x tables and the 10x tables. You need to complete both, scoring over 70% in both, to win two merits.
4. Non-Fiction
Of course you can do MyMaths and Purple Mash later in the week if you’d like. Your task for today is to answer questions from non-fiction. Today’s non-fiction is a fact-file about beaches in the UK. Don’t copy the answers on Page 4! There is text on Pages 1 and 2, and a question sheet on Page 3. To change the page, click on the arrows at the bottom left of the sheet.
Please send your answers to westgreen.yellowclass@gmail.com

Good morning Mr Morgan, Today is the the ‘World Ocean day’.

Mr Morgan says:
I didn’t know this! It’s important we keep the ocean clean too in order to look after the habitat for the living things that survive there.
-
My favourite word is beach, because I love to play in the beach. I can wait to go to Sri Lanka and have fun in the beach.
-
I bet the beaches in Sri Lanka are mesmeric!
(You might have to google that word)
-
The meaning of the word ‘mesmeric’ is you give full attention to something and you can’t think of anything else.

Beaches are extremely fun places. I don’t know about you, but I like sandy beaches much better than any other types of beaches.

My favourite word is cleanest. I’ve chosen this word because it makes me cheerful to hear that beaches in the UK are some of the most clean in the world. Beaches are beautiful places and should look unspoilt.
