March Snow Day
 
Good Morning!
We have got snow! How exciting! I bet you are all raring to go to make snowmen., snow angels and go sledging! I hope you have a fantastic time! Miss O'Brien and I would love to see some pictures if you would like to send them to the school office email! :) 

I will set you some tasks for you to have a go at around having fun in the snow! 
We will do our spelling test on Monday instead of Friday and so you can continue with your practise of that. As always there is also home reading and times table practise. :) 

You should see posted assignments below for: 
English: Understanding prepositions 
Maths: Measure in m and cm 
History: What can monuments tell us about the prehistoric period
Art: Create a snow sculpture

Have a lovely day in the snow and with your families! 
Mrs Roberts
English: To know what a preposition is
 
We looked at prepositions when we explored Dinosaur Cove and they were on our grammar assessment this week. Our results show that we could do with having another quick look at it so what a perfect opportunity! :) 

Follow the link and watch the video. When the teacher asks a question, pause the video and have a go at answering it. 

You can answer the questions on a piece of paper. 
 
Maths: To measure in cm and m 
 
We will be moving onto our length unit in class next week. To begin, we will be recapping your Year 2 learning of measuring in cm and m. 

You will need: a ruler or something you can measure with (a tape measure etc), a pencil and some paper.


Watch the vimeo video to help you understand how to measure in cm and m. 

Now, you can choose which task you would like to do: 

a. You could find items around your home and measure how long (to the nearest cm they are) for example books, pencils, spoons, pieces of fruit, toys, pieces of lego ect. Create a list on a piece of paper and record how long it was to the nearest cm. 

b. Complete the White Rose Maths Hub worksheet. You will need to compete this on a piece of paper as the worksheet is not editable.
History: To know what monuments tell us about prehistoric England
 
We have done lots of learning about the Stone Age to Iron Age and have learnt that lots of what we know came from artefacts we have found. We know that the Romans came after the Iron Age and they wrote down a lot of what they saw and found. This also helped us learn a lot about the Celtic Britons. Today I have left you a link to explore how the monuments they left behind have also been a great primary source that has helped us learn more. 

Follow the link to watch the video. 
Once you have watched the video, complete the quiz! See how much you can remember! 

Want to do more? 
If this has caught your interest and you want to find out more, why not chose a monument from the video and carry out your own research? Remember a safe search must include the words for kids or KS2 after it. DK Find Out which we uses to explore the bronze age is amazing! You may find some facts on there! 
Art: Mrs Marsden's Snow Sculptures
 
As you know Mrs Marsden is our resident artist and she is VERY excited by the opportunity that the snow presents. She knows lots of you will be playing out in the snow and wondered if you would like to get artistic! 

She has asked for you to create art sculptures out of snow. They could be inspired by an artist you know, an animal, a scene you can see, your favourite building. 

Mrs Marsden wondered if you could make your sculptures even more exciting by adding food colouring to them! 

Send any pictures of your artworks to the school office email: office@blakehill.bradford.sch.uk
