Reading Comprehension – Amazing Antarctica. There are 3 different levels of text for children to choose from, then answer the questions.
Writing – This week we are focussing on writing diary entries. You will be writing as Captain Scott.
You have arrived in Antarctica and are at Cape Evans. You are about to start your voyage to the South Pole. Make sure you have listened to the Powerpoint and video before you start. Separate notes are also included.
Spelling, Punctuation & Grammar - SPAG.com task: 2017 SATs KS1. Please note that for the remaining weeks we will set past SATs papers to be completed. They are longer than the previous activities set and have 19 questions. They don't have to be completed in one go, or within a time limit so feel free to pause and resume if needed. A paper copy is also included below if needed.
Writing – Continuing to focus on diary writing. As Captain Scott, write about how you are feeling as you begin your journey home. Begin this lesson by reviewing you first diary entry. Did you achieve all the WILF? Can you identify what you need to improve in this piece of work? There is a separate video for this lesson and notes are also included.
Handwriting – Practise using all cursive joins by writing complete sentences. See the notes attached.
Maths activities
As we have already covered all of the Year 2 objectives for maths, these activities have been chosen to practise skills and deepen understanding. Where applicable all children should attempt 'Mastery' questions where applicable, and more confident mathematicians can challenge themselves with the 'Mastery with Greater Depth'.

Go to education resources. 3-6 years section. Watch the Kids Know Best film and the Safer Journeys Anthem. Now look at the Road Safety Checklist.
