Literacy
To up level a piece of work
Throughout this week you would have looked at story structures, planned and written a story of your choice paying particular attention to quality. Today you are going to up level it. What does up level mean? It means to make better and improve. Have a practice with sentence below-
The dog had a bone
How can you make it more interesting and exciting? You could describe the dig- how it looks/ feels and you could describe the bone- how it looks? how it smells? etc. Have a go at making 2 improved sentences for the above sentence. Remember up-levelling isn't always about vocabulary it could be your spelling or capital letters and full stops. First of all choose a sentence from your story that you think could be made more interesting or exciting. Perhaps you have repeated the describing word a few times or maybe you could think of better words. You may want to use a thesaurus for this. You may have a sentence where you have some spelling errors that you can correct using your sounds or a dictionary or where you have missed full stops or capital letters. See how many sentences you can up level. 


Maths
Today you will complete your online Learn its and Clic tests, however I will be adding paper versions onto the Y2 shared folder on HWB instead
Clic tests- the children should have no more than 10-15 minutes maximum to complete these. They can do workings out if need be on the sheet or on a separate sheet. Just a reminder- question 1 is for them to partition the number- so what is the value of each? e.g 36- 3=30 6=6. A lot of the children assume it is halving the number because of the way it is laid out! 
Learn its- these are timed at 30 seconds. The children are used to this so please ensure it is only 30 seconds! The learn its are to develop their quick recall and the sums given are the number facts that the children should be confident with to answer rapidly. You may decide to give your child 1 minute and see how many they can complete as there are new levels on there. 
SAFE- the children haven't yet completed these but they involve other maths covered in school aside from basic number. The children have covered these areas so should be able to answer some. Again I would say no more than 10-15 minutes.  I would now try to reduce this time to 5-10 minutes 

Bronze- Clic 1/ Learn its 1 / SAFE 1
Silver- Clic 2/ Learn its 2/ SAFE 2 
Gold- Clic 3/ Learn its 3/ SAFE 3 

You are of course welcome to complete all of these challenges if you wish!

Topic
To experience the awe and wonder of being encased in a giant bubble 
Following on from the work on bubbles on Monday and as mentioned yesterday, on the Year 2 shared folder on HWB is an activity with resources and instructions exploring bubbles and having the chance to get inside a bubble itself! I would love to see some photos or videos of this! 

Enjoy!
Mrs. Hassall
