Week beginning Monday 8th June
Now we've got some peacocks - I don't understand why, but one of them is upside down on my laptop but the right way up on my ipad and phone! Sorry for any who are looking at this on a laptop!
Some more toucans for you...I wonder what you call a group of toucan?
I'm sorry, you will have to turn your head to see our last lovely toucan. I tried so many ways to put this upright, but it just wouldn't go! Sorry
Hello Year 2. This week's maths lessons come from Whiterose home learning again. We will continue to practise our multiplication and divsion skills. Remember that we are a week behind because of art week, so we will be working from week 6 which is dated Monday 1st June. I will put some links each day to some worksheets you could use to practise your skills. Some are fluency questions and some are reasoning and problem solving questions. Remember there are 3 levels of challenge each time. Choose whichever suits you best. Here is the link to the Whiterose page. If you prefer you can use the activities linked to the BBC bitesize lessons.
