Year 2 Plastic Bottles Please

Image result for plastic bottles
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

Image result for monster kids
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.

Make a simple plan of part of a building, such as your home. 

Can you label some of the different rooms and show where the doors are?
