Literacy
To plan and create a comic strip
Your Literacy is carrying on from yesterday. First of all, what is a comic strip? How is it different to a book or fact file or poem? Look at some examples- there are a couple below. What do you notice? Caption boxes to explain briefly what is going on or where or when the scene is taking place, speech bubbles- characters talking to each other, thought bubbles- what the characters are thinking and they are mostly pictures rather than writing. You usually find comics are rather funny or silly and colourful.
It is important that you plan your ideas first so that you know how your comic strip/page will look and be about. It will make it easier and more enjoyable for you too.
Plan what you want your comic to be about first. You may decide to turn your favourite story into a comic or you may decide to make up your own story. What characters will you include? What will the setting be? How many boxes will you have? When completing your comic, have a think how you want to set it out- landscape or portrait? Will you have different sized boxes? Will your caption boxes be in the same place each time? Don't forget to make it colourful. If you have finished this you could turn it into an animation.
Bronze- create a 4 box comic strip including 2 characters and speech
Silver- turn your favourite chapter into a comic or if creating your own story then aim for 6-8 boxes including at least 2 characters, speech and captions
Gold- turn you favourite book into a comic or if creating your own story then aim for 10 boxes including at least 2 characters, speech, captions and thought bubbles.
Maths
To create a bar chart
Yesterday you interpreted bar graphs and became familiar with how they look and how the information is represented. Using your data you collected from your pictogram, or choosing new data if you wish- remember to create a tally chart first, turn that data into a bar graph. Below is a link to help you with constructing a bar graph as well as some graph paper on the Year 2 shared folder on HWB to help you. You must use a ruler and pencil when drawing your graph and bars. You may also wish to complete the table and bar graph on J2Data on HWB too. I would like you all to have a go at drawing one by hand please as well. Remember your graphs need the axis labelled- x axis across bottom- what the data is e..g favourite colour/ food etc and the y axis up the side are the numbers of people. Graphs also need titles so we know what data they are representing e.g. A graph to show the favourite colours in my family etc.
Bronze- create your bar graph for your 1 set of data collected
Silver- create your bar graph for your 2 sets of data collected. Remember to label your axis
Gold- create your bar graph for your 3 sets of data collected. Remember to label your axis and give it a title
Topic
To understand there layers of the Rainforest
You are carrying on your work from yesterday. What type of climate is in the rainforest? What do you think it is like? Dry? Wet? Hot? Cold? What sort of animals live there? Where are rainforests found? You may like to have a look at some of the places where they are found including the names of them. There is a powerpoint on the Year 2 shared folder on HWB. Look through this to find out more about the different layers and what happens in each layer. I would like this to be done over 2 days as I feel it is the right amount of time for looking at and understanding the rainforest in more detail and to complete the activity. It is entirely up to you how you complete the work wether by hand through drawing/ diagrams/ poster or by computer or you may even choose to turn it crafty and make a 3D/ paint the tree/ rainforest. if you have completed this, you may try to represent it in a different way? A video/ animation/ powerpoint etc.
Bronze- write a sentence for each of the different layers and what happens there using the powerpoint to help you
Silver- create a poster/ drawing/ diagram of the rainforest showing each of the layers and what happens in each layer including animals that live there.You may use the powerpoint to help you
Gold- create a poster/ drawing/ diagram of the rainforest showing each of the layers and what happens in each layer including animals that live there. Use your own words to describe the layers.

To ask and answer questions
Spend approx 10 minutes a day using your conversation work from Friday, or if you didn't get chance to complete it then using the word bank on the Year 2 shared folder on HWB to help you. With a family member, ask and answer the questions varying your replies, become more confident with the questions and their meaning and how to answer them. You could even add in the weather!
Enjoy
