Dear Diary,

I had the most exciting day of my life today on the Jolley-Roger’s enormous pirate ship. I woke up this morning to boiling hot sunshine and a clear sky. Jim Lad and I had such a fun swim in the sea, we walked the creaky plank and dived down into the rough waves. Jim Lad’s daddy threw us a rope and pulled us up the side of the tall creaky ship. It was exhilarating swinging through the air.

After a lunch of hard tack and fish, Jim and I played a game of ‘Pulling the sails down’ ….Jim was so fast, he beat me every time!! I felt so cross, but I soon cheered up when I remembered that he has lived on a pirate ship for his whole life and so he’d had lots of practice.

In the evening, Jim’s mummy lit a little fire and we snuggled in soft blankets on deck. Squarker the pirate made us all laugh by singing songs called sea shanties, in a loud croaky voice. Mummy told us pirate tales and we drank delicious hot chocolate. Finally, we sleepily climbed into our swinging hammocks…it was such a fun day. I cannot wait to arrive at Scurvy Sands tomorrow morning.

Today we are going to be using our knowledge of fractions and using them to answer some fraction word problems.

I would like you to choose one of the problem, shown, you can write it in your book. I would like you to underline the important information, and then I would like you to solve the problem. YOU MUST SHOW YOUR WORKING.

 You can draw diagrams/number sentences to help you. I do not just want the answer. Explain your reasoning. When you have finished the first word problem, repeat with other fractions word problems.

You may also like to continue to improve your fluency and speed on Times table Rockstars-can you challenge yourself to improve your speed? Maybe you can time yourself at the beginning and end of the week and see how you have improved.

THIS LESSON WILL BE SPREAD OVER THE NEXT TWO WEEKS

Continuing from last week………………….We are looking at solving a problem in Design Technology this term. The hungry pirates are struggling with the basket that is being used to send their lunches across between two pirate ships.

Last week we looked at evaluating lunchboxes and I showed you 3 different designs of lunchbox to look at and see which one you thought was the best. I also said that you were able to look at your own different lunchboxes at home instead.

Over the next few weeks you will need to design and make a new lunch box to transport the pirates’ lunch safely from The Golden Mermaid, over the sea and to The Blue Dolphin.

In today’s lesson you will be deciding which types of materials are likely to be most suitable for designing your pirate’s lunchbox.

I would like you to find a range of recycled materials around your house/at school-such as wood, foil, plastic cartons, cardboard boxes and paper.

As you look at the different recycled materials,

 I would like you to think about the following questions to help you decide which ones you may want to use for the lunchbox that you will be designing and making over the next few weeks.

-Which materials do you think will be waterproof and why?

-Which materials do you think will be strong and why? How could they be made stronger?

-Which materials might make a strong handle? How could it be made stronger?

-What will help to keep the lunch safe?

You will be starting to think about the lunchbox design criteria (a list of things our product must do to be successful.)

Lunch Box Design Criteria

1. It must have a strong handle.
2. It must be waterproof.
3. It needs to protect the food.
4. It must be strong.
5. It should be appealing to pirates.

You  have been given an example of a lunchbox design.  Can you decide which recycled materials you would like to use for your lunchbox…...make a list…check your spelling!

Draw a picture of 4 different ideas for potential lunchboxes using recycled material and then describe why you have chosen the materials you have next to each one. There is a sheet for you to print off and write on, or you can just draw the grid in your book instead.

Here is an example of a lunchbox design and description.

PE

It’s going to be scorching today! If you can, I would like you to have a splash in the paddling pool or have a water fight involving running around outside.

If you cannot do this and are going to play with a ball outside or have a run in the garden, you may like to do this earlier in the day before it gets very hot.

  This should take you approx.

 60 minutes.

THIS WORK IS FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY'S LESSONS

Read aloud to ‘Noi was worried that his dad would be angry about having a whale in the bath’

In your book I would like you write down some adjectives to describe how Noi is feeling as his dad gets closer to the house.

I want you to think about whether Noi should tell his dad about the whale…write a sentence or two to tell me why/why not Noi should tell his dad. I want you to explain why you think that.

 Read  ‘Somehow, Noi kept his secret safe all evening.’ and look at the image of the two having their tea.

Discuss what conversations might they be having?  What might they be thinking? Can you role play with a partner-one of you being Noi and one being his father-what conversation might you have whilst eating your tea?  Now have a conversation about what you are both thinking not saying...how are the conversations different?

Read on to ‘He even managed to sneak some supper for his whale.’

I would like you to think about whether Noi should tell his dad about the whale…discuss with an adult, or jot down some reasons for and against Noi telling his dad.

You are then going to write a short note to Noi, giving him some advice as to whether he should tell his daddy. I have written an example below.

When you have finished it, check with your checklist that you have included everything, and edit your work with purple pen to show your changes.

Remember

1.Think of at least 2 or 3 reasons why Noi should/shouldn’t tell his father.

2.Use language to persuade Noi-emotive words, such as ‘terrible fright’, ‘poor whale.’

3. Time conjunctions, such as firstly, secondly and finally.

4. Punctuation such as capital letters, full stops and exclamation marks

 Dear Noi,

I think you should tell your daddy that you have a whale in the bath,

The reason I think this is firstly, because your daddy might notice when he goes into the bathroom for a bath and it would give him a terrible fright!!!

 Secondly, the poor whale is going to begin to get too big soon and might find that it gets wedged in the bath and finally, the little whale’s mummy will be heartbroken without her and your daddy might be able to help release the whale back into the sea to find her.

Please think about what I said. Your daddy is a kind man, and he would not want you to worry. He would want to help you.

Today in Maths we will be looking at ‘Finding parts of a quantity.’  If you finish your work, can you try answering the challenge questions below?

1. Can you think of 3 different questions that you could ask a friend about counting in quarters. Can you get them to make a prediction about what the answer might be and can they explain their reasoning?
2. You could go to ICT Games and look at the game ‘Fractions Fresco’…can you make the quantity given to help you earn some money?

You may also like to continue to improve your fluency and speed on Times table Rockstars-can you challenge yourself to improve your speed?

Comprehension

Can you read the sentences and draw what is being described?

On Chinese New Year I saw a dragon. It had four legs and a long, orange body like a snake.

On the end of each leg was a foot which looked like a bird’s claw.

 On the back of each leg was yellow fur which looked like a fire.

On top of the dragon’s back it had yellow spikes all along it.

The dragon had two grey antlers on its head like a deer’s antlers.

He had three white, pointy teeth and he was smiling.

Approx 20-30 mins.

R.E.

Hello Class 2. I hope you have all had a lovely weekend and are all refreshed and ready for your next week of learning! Here is your learning for

Monday 22nd June.

Spelling and handwriting

Today we are going to focus on our handwriting. I would like you to go to www.ictgames.com and go on to English. There is a game called ‘Sky writing.’ Can you choose a letter that you find tricky to write, tick on the button that says ‘cursive’ and the plane will then demonstrate how to write the letter.

On a piece of piece/using a whiteboard can you then practise writing that letter in the way that you were shown-write it in large letters/small letters/rainbow letters/ in sand etc. When you have finished one letter, please choose a different letter to write.

 If you finish this, please go on to ‘Handwriting writing generator’ on ICT games and practise joining the letter ‘r’ to the letter ‘i’…remember that the ‘i’ joins to the ‘r’ at the top, not the bottom of the ‘r.’

Approx 20-30 mins
