Buenas Dias Swallows Children

Hopefully I can see lots of you today in the car park. The sky looks a little dark and grey though so fingers crossed the rain stays away for us...

Our story today is read by our Magic Fairy, the lovely Mrs Elson, reading Silly Billy. This is all about worries and how we can make them go away. It is a gorgeous story.

In Maths, we are looking at the more than and less than signs when we compare two numbers <  >. The lessons this week are underneath the 4th May tab https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-2/. We have looked at these signs a few times, so you should be an expert!

In Writing, we are looking at how to use exclamation marks. We have two main ways of using these, commands when you are being bossy and giving an instruction eg "Get down from there now!" Or an exclamantion sentence that starts with what or how eg What a kind person you are! How sunny it is today! Again, this is revision for you.

I've also added a game and video lesson about Dinosaurs! There is a little boy in my Year One bubble who ,oves dinosaurs and he said that you would enjoy this! https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z8cm8hv

A message from Mrs Powell

Good morning! This week, we are going to find out about amazing people who have done amazing things. As you read the stories, just imagine what you will do when you are older… all these amazing people once sat in a classroom just like you!

Beatrice Shilling

Born in 1909, in Hampshire, Beatrice - universally known as Tilly - was obsessed with engines from early childhood.

"As a child I played with Meccano," she recalled in an interview with Woman Engineer magazine. "I spent my pocket money on penknives, an adjustable spanner, a glue pot and other simple hand tools."

"From a child she was pulling engines apart. Her real passion was mechanical engineering."

Beatrice saved countless lives by inventing a gadget that stopped planes stalling in mid-air and crashing. Beatrice was a brilliant scientist and engineer.

I agree with Mrs Powell, you are all amazing and have made us so proud during our time away from school. I have been busy getting our new Robins classroom ready.

I am really looking forward to seeing you later and for our PE lesson on Friday.

Love from Mrs Rice xxx
