 LAST WEEKS BRAIN TEASER: ANSWER Who attempted to answer last weeks brain teaser? Here it is again... How many times does the number FIVE occur between the numbers 1-100?  And the answer is... 20! 5 appears ten times as the last digit (5, 15, 25 … 95) and ten times as a first digit (50, 51, 52 … 59). And finally, I would like to share a story with you all. Kira has been busy creating this video and voicing the tale of 'The Sun and the Moon'. How creative. Well done Kira⭐. I hope everyone enjoys listening to this lovely story... Have a wonderful week Year Two! Miss McKenna❤️

Erin and Opal have also been keeping very busy! They both had their science caps on last week as they completed the Y2 investigation into the suitability of a range of materials for a sailing boat. They both made great predictions and concluded that plastic is the best material to make a boat from. Great job girls. Keep up the hard work!
Remember you can send pictures/links of your work to [email protected]
As mentioned last week, I will be giving out gold stars to those who have been accessing the MyON library on a regular basis. Remember I can see who is and who isn't accessing the reading material online. Please aim to read for 20+ minutes every day day. Check out Mr Crow's marvellous myOn reading here. He might even be able to help you out if you are struggling! This week the Year 2 MyON superstars are...

And of course, here is the answer to last weeks brain teaser. The Queen is circled in red. Well done if you found her!
Keep up all of the great work Year 2. I am super proud and miss you all very much. Stay safe Miss McKenna❤️
BRAIN TEASER This week, your challenge is to spot the Queen amongst all of these cheeky corgis! Don't let the hats and crowns fool you, she's hiding in there somewhere..  Reading at home - MyON  You should all now have your MyON log ins! MyON is our new online library service. Instead of taking a book from our classroom book shelf using your ZPD, you can simply read one at home! I suggest reading a book from the ‘recommended’ section of the library page as these will suit your ZPD, but do explore the webpage! There are new books added regularly and I encourage you to read a mixture of both fiction and non-fiction. I can log in to see what books you have read and how much time you have spent reading. I will be giving gold stars on the blog next week for those who are reading daily for 20-30+ minutes! ⭐⭐⭐ NUMBER OF THE WEEK What can you tell me about the number...  What is half of 18? Can you use 18 in an addition number sentence? How would it look as an array? What is 1 more? How about 1 less? Can you double it? Weekly spellings Please do not worry if you cannot print it out, just copy them down onto a piece of paper!  Home learning timetable Below is this weeks home learning timetable. You will find all of the relevant links/resources attached below.  When you open Busy Beats, start with an empty beat. It will automatically be recording your sound. Click on one of the ripplers in the middle of the screen. This will allow your sounds to play on repeat. Then start experimenting! Use the sound buttons from the tabs at the top and drag them into place. I suggest using sounds from 'synths' and 'samples'. If you would like to hear your beat over, simply press the blue square button in the bottom right corner to stop the recording. The green triangle will allow you to play it over! The video below will show you how I navigated my way around the app to create my own unique sound! I hope you all have as much fun as I did😃 Weblinks: MyON library: https://www.myon.co.uk/login/index.html GoNoodle dance: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2YBT7HYqCbbvzu3kKZ3wnw Cosmic Yoga: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5uIZ2KOZZeQDQo_Gsi_qbQ PE with Joe Wicks: https://www.youtube.com/user/thebodycoach1/videos Kids Wordsmyth online dictionary: https://kids.wordsmyth.net/we/ RE Creation story: http://www.dltk-bible.com/genesis/chapter1-cv.htm English text - Friday: https://www.natgeokids.com/uk/discover/geography/countries/saint-lucia-facts/ PurpleMash: https://www.purplemash.com/sch/stagnese3 Maths video - Monday: https://vimeo.com/414671240 Maths video - Tuesday: https://vimeo.com/415461655 Maths video - Wednesday: https://vimeo.com/415699218 Resources: English booklet

You will find the link to the website on the righthand side of this page. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK YEAR TWO! ⭐  This quote comes from a famous author named Dr Seuss. Do you recognise that name?
