Year 2 Home Learning – Monday 25th January 2021

Good morning Year 2!

It’s the start of another new week of home learning and we are so proud of how you have been doing so far.

We’ve seen some great work that has been emailed to us, and we’d love to see more.

Remember we have a zoom register at 10.20am every morning. It is important you log in to this on time so that we can say good morning to each other, complete an online activity as well as explaining our work for the day. A link for this has been sent to the parent email you have registered at school. Please email us at the Year 2 email address if you need a new link sending to you.
Please bring paper and a pencil/pen to the zoom register.

Please remember to comment on the blog when you have completed your tasks, and to email us your completed work so we can see what you have been doing and support you if needed. Work can be emailed to yeartwo@lingsprimary.org.uk.
Have a great day and we will be waiting for you when we can all go back to school together!

Miss Duncan, Miss Battams and the rest of the Year 2 team.

 

Here is today’s home learning tasks

 

English Reading

Read the following text and summarise it in two sentences. This means you need to focus on the main part of the text and think about who is involved, where they are, what has happened and how they are feeling.

To my dearest friend Hermia 

I am writing to you because I feel so confused and need your help.

Where we live in Athens, I am thought of as being fair due to my light blonde hair and pale skin. People say I am taller than other women and that I am sweet lady. However, there seems to be one man who disagrees.

The problem is he is the man I am desperately in love with. Demetrius has told me many times that he is feels sick when he looks at me. The people of Athens feel that I am foolish for following him.

I can not help it. I think he is wonderful in every way.

The more he tells me to go away or that he doesn’t like me, the more I find myself falling in love with him.

I don’t know what to do.

How can I make Demetrius see how fair and sweet I am and not just a new puppy following him around. 

I wish he would feel the same as I do.

Please help!

Your loyal friend

Helena
