Maths

LO: To read time

 

In class this week, we would have been learning about time. Try these games: https://www.topmarks.co.uk/Flash.aspx?f=matchingpairstimev3

 

Using your myMaths login (https://login.mymaths.co.uk/), complete these activities:

• Introducing clocks
• Telling the time
• Telling the time - quarter to and quarter past

 

If you are feeling creative, can you create your own clock? This could be using Lego, K'nex, paper or it may be that you decide to decorate a cake!

                  

 

English 

LO: To plan a story

 

All of the best stories start with a good plan. We would like you to be thinking of a story which you will write at the end of the week.

 

Here are some ideas, but you can use your favourite books or films for inspiration too.

Where will your story be set?

•  Enchanted forest
•  Abandoned school
•  A zoo
• In the deep ocean

 

Who are your main characters?

 

What problems will they face in their setting?

 

How will the problem be solved?

 

Write your plan in your home learning book.

Your class teachers and TAs are missing you! Can you send an email using your parents/carers email address?

Miss Clough and Mrs Cunningham can be emailed on this address: yeartwo@rosewood.lancs.sch.uk

Alternatively, you can use your home learning book.
