Year 2 Plastic Bottles Please

We would be grateful if you could send in a plastic bottle or two after the half term holiday. These are to be converted into replica "ancient Greek vases" in our Art/D.T. lessons next half-term.

Bottle that don't have ridges around the outside are best for our purposes.

Many thanks.

Year 2 Home Learning - Monster Poetry Weds 16th October

Can you make up a poem about a monster where you describe the monster using things that you don’t like?

This is the monster

I made up last week.

A monster so scary

I’m now losing sleep!

It has…

Make a list of things that you don’t like.  Then put these into the poem about a monster.

barbed-wire , stinging nettles , car alarm noise,  cold porridge, wasp-stings, bullies, burnt toast, getting a library fine,  getting a puncture on my bike, having an argument,  dusting the house, toothache

Here’s an example:

It has barbed-wired feet

And stinging nettle arms

When singing it sounds

Like the noise of our car alarms

It has  cold porridge for eyes

And a wasp sting nose 

It has bullies for fingers

And burnt toast for toes

It has library fines for teeth

And flat tyres for eyes

It sounds like an argument

Whenever it cries.

My poem uses rhyme, but yours does not have to.

Home learning – Year Two World Map Wednesday 9th October

The children in Year Two are being given an "unlabelled" map of the World.

Continents	Oceans
Europe Africa Asia North America South America Oceania   (Australasia) Antarctica	Atlantic Ocean Pacific Ocean
