Class 2 Monday online literacy work Get the children to watch the video on contractions. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zvwwxnb/articles/zcyv4qt Consider: - what did the video tell us? - When do we use contractions? - Should we always use contractions - When wouldn’t we use contractions?
Complete all 4 quizzes which are on the same page. Read the pages from the dragon book ‘dragons around the world’. Consider: - Are all dragons the same? - What is folklore? - What is a legend? - What is a serpent? - Do all dragons come from one place? - Do all dragons live on land? - Are all dragons nice?
Study the page with the labelled dragon. Look at what adjectives they use. What body parts they label? What information do they have under each heading? Draw a dragon and label your dragon with interesting adjectives.

Class two online literacy lesson. - Watch the video on non- chronological reports https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/english-ks1-ks2-how-to-write-a-non-chronological-report/zvbtscw - Consider:
- Read through the attached non-chronological report. Use a highlighter and your checklist to annotate the non-chronological report. - Drawing inspiration from the example non- chronological report, create a spidergram ( mind map) to plan out your non-chronological report on dragons. In the centre circle you need to write ‘dragons’. In the smaller circle you should write your headings- these should be the labels of your dragon’s body parts. On the lines coming out from your headings you will need to write your brief ideas of what will come underneath your heading.

Class two Wednesday online literacy lesson. Watch the video on what an introduction needs to include. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6BTfNQiXXI Consider: - What have you seen in introductions before? - What needs to go in an introduction? - How long is an introduction meant to be? - Where should an introduction go in a piece of text? Use what you have learnt from the video to annotate the example introduction. Think about what is good about the introduction, does it meet all the criteria for an introduction and what could be improved. Write your own introduction in the template. Afterwards continue to write your non-chronological report. Remember to use your word mats, checklists and previous work to help you.

Science – life cycle of a butterfly
Help children to explore the following websites which have some interesting pictures and animations (and facts for very able readers). http://www.kidsbutterfly.org/life-cycle http://www.tes.co.uk/article.aspx?storycode=3002241 (you need a login for TES site) http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/scienceforkids/life_cycle/butterfly_lifecycle.htm (create a butterfly life cycle)
Independent activity: Children draw a picture of an egg, caterpillar, chrysalis and butterfly. They use arrows to link each stage and label each drawing. Support: Cut out pictures (session resource) and use arrows to link each stage. Extension: Ask children to write labels.
Children do a butterfly jigsaw at http://butterflywebsite.com/games/jigsaw1.cfm. More able children can also tackle the game at http://butterflywebsite.com/games/butterflyfields.cfm.

Thursday |
Literacy |
Class two Thursday online literacy lesson. Watch the video on subordinating conjunctions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FK2Gyto5gTQ Consider: - Have you used subordinating conjunctions before? - When can subordinating conjunctions be useful? - Is ‘however’ always a subordinating conjunction? No, it is only a subordinating conjunction when it is joining two clauses together. - What is a clause? It is two statements which stand independently. Complete the worksheet on subordinating conjunctions. Please go through and highlight the subordinate conjunctions. Remember that subordinate conjunctions don’t always come in the middle of sentences. Watch out for questions 2,5,8 and 10 because they are tricky! Afterwards, ask the children to create a poster to help them remember ‘AWHITEBUS’. You can use the example poster to help you, but I would love to see your creativity! A - Although, After, As WH – When I – If T – That E – Even though B – Because U – Until, Unless S – Since
