Buenas Dias lovely Swallows class

A little hello from me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh1-McktvPU

Hi everybody, how are you? "It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring..." My plants are saying thank you to God for this rain, they needed a big drink. I know that most of you will be inside today becuase of the rian so I thought that you could have a go at this active maths activity:

Think of an exercise to the numbers 2, 5 and 10 Start by counting in ones to 20. Whenever you say a number that is in the 2 times table complete the exercise you have chosen for 2. Now count in ones to 20 but each time you say a number in the 5 times table, complete the exercise you have chosen for 5. Repeat for the 10 times table. Can you join them all together? Count in ones to 20 but perform all three exercises. How many exercises will you need to do when you say 10? Good luck! Maybe you could practise this forst then perform it as a show for your grown ups. Can they join in with you? Let me know how you get on. 

Just a reminder of this brilliant website where David Walliams reads his own stories to you. A rainy day is the perfect time to snuggle up and listen to a wonderful story. This week, he is reading Bad Dad, my family went to the theatre to see him read this a few years ago, it is a great story. You can go back and listen to other stories that he has already read if you don't fancy this one. https://www.worldofdavidwalliams.com/elevenses/

Our maths lessons continue with measures, today is solving problems with litres. Why don't you ask a grown up if you can look in your kitchen for equipment that has a scale on it. Maybe it is a measuring jug, some scales, a medicine syringe....see if you can work out what each little line is worth on the scale. https://www.thenational.academy/online-classroom/year-2/#schedule

Swallows, please always ask a grown up before touching anything in the kitchen!

A message from Mrs Powell

Pause for Thought: Be Thankful Click here to watch the following video: https://youtu.be/Hp_g_5Hphd8

We can be thankful for things every day! If you’d like to, have a go at the following:

Can you think of someone whom you would like to thank? Could you send them a message or write a letter to them today? Free printable thank-you cards that are ready to colour in are available at: https://printable-cards.gotfreecards.com/categories/color-your-card/thank-you

Why not make a list of as many things as you can think of that you are thankful for today? You could ask your family to join in. I wonder if you can think of 100 things!

Dear God,

For families and friends…

We are thankful.

For the beauty of nature and the world around us…

We are thankful.

For all the things in life that we too often take for granted…

We are thankful.

Please help us to be willing to show our thanks - not only in what we say, but also in what we do - every single day…

We are thankful.

Amen

Have a super day  Swallows. Mrs Elson and I are thinking about you every day and we miss you lots and lots, like Jelly Tots! Be kind at home, always use your manners and keep smiling. Like Winnie The Pooh says, we are together in our dreams.

Before I go, here is the link to the fabulous video that we called Lostock's Lockdown Story. Seeing all of your faces makes me so happy, it is just beautiful. I hope that you enjoy it if you haven't already seen it.
