However, before anyone can eat it, a series of accidents befall the unfortunate sandwich. Before long, it has been dropped in sand, squished by a skateboard and even slithered over by slugs. By the time the sun sets in the park and the badger gets his paws on it, the sandwich looks far from appealing. Will he still be tempted to taste it? A twist in the tale will provide the quirky answer. Use the ways into the problem (from fictional children) to help capture your child’s curiosity. By focusing on different approaches to the task, learners’ attention is on the mathematical journey rather than just the answer. A recording sheet is available through the activity link if you would like to use it. Starting Points are written to help you plan book-based units of work. In this set based on The Disgusting Sandwich by Gareth Edwards you’ll find ideas to support spoken language, reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary and spelling. This Starting Points resource will give you everything you need to plan a beautiful book-based unit of work for children in Year 1 and Year 2.

This year we have been working closely with The English Hub at St Peter’s Primary in Portishead. They have produced some fantastic lessons to help Year 2 children refresh their understanding of some key grammar concepts. This week, the lesson is about expanded noun phrases. You can access it here. If you are looking for an extra challenge, have a go at recapping the PowerPoint from last week about the life cycle of a flowering plant. Using some large paper if you have some, or in your book, recreate the life cycle of a flowering plant of your choice. Can you write a sentence under each diagram describing what is happening to the plant?We will be carrying on with our plant diary for this week. So far I have been surprised by some of my results, what have your observations shown you?

Activity: Create your own dance routine of @ 1 min – 1 min 30 secs connecting at least 5 moves with freestyle monkey moves, you will need at least 3. This problem allows children to practise addition and subtraction, and compare numbers, in an interesting and challenging context. It also provides an opportunity to encourage learners to reason mathematically as they justify their solutions.

Week 3 - Week beginning 18.1.21

Now you’ve had a chance to think about the changes you are going to make it is time to map out your story. Today we are going to create a comic strip drawing 8 key points in the story. Here is a template or you can work straight in your book. how the grammatical patterns in a sentence indicate its function as a statement, question, exclamation or command Extension Challenge: Answer the additional questions available on the activity sheet. Children may also have a go at creating their own towers, some tower templates are available through the activity link.

Before we can write our stories we need to have a clear plan to help us. Have a look at the planning sheet and think about the changes you would like to make to the story. You could think about setting your story somewhere else, a jungle, the seaside or even space! How would that change the characters we encounter and what happens to the cake? You might want to continue this experiment over half-term but, at some point over the next two weeks, try to write up your final results and what you think are the best growing conditions for plants. We would like to see one of the fluency tasks (we don’t mind which) to help us assess areas needing more practise. Please allow your child to work independently and to use maths pictures for working out if necessary.

Extra Challenge: Proof read your story once you have finished it and edit, not only making corrections but also revising and improving where appropriate. introduction to capital letters, full stops, question marks and exclamation marks to demarcate sentences Last week we created a map for our imaginary town and used symbols and a key to mark where landmarks were. All the things we put on our map like houses, a church and a park are made by man. These are called human features but maps also show us natural features such as rivers, the beach, woodland, mountains. Go through the PowerPoint: Maps Natural and Human Features.
