Good Morning Year 2

Challenge:  Listen to the audio of me reading the morning message.  Can you read along as I speak? 

Today is Thursday 21st May, 2020. I hope you had a good day yesterday.  It was a scorcher of a day and guess what...   

It's going to be another scorcher of a day so keep yourself hydrated by drinking water.  I didn't manage to see the ducklings yesterday but I saw lots of blue dragonflies at a different lake I walked by.  They were all buzzing happily around. 

Today I have set you two fun projects for history.  They aren't quick projects and you will probably need a little help from your family.  You are going to create a family tree.  What is a family tree?  Well... take a look at the lesson this afternoon.  I would love to see your end results. 

I have a challenge for you.  Can you do one nice thing today?  Maybe you could tidy your bedroom, or help tidy up or you could say something really nice to someone in your house.

Have a lovely day! 

Fact of the Day!

Your blood is as salty as the ocean. 

Start the day at 9am with PE with JOE

Morning Prayer

Father in heaven You love me.  

You are with me night and day.

I want to love You always,

In all I do and say.

I'll try to please You Father.

Bless me through the day.

Amen

Activity 4 - History

Today you have two activities for History.  We have finished our topic of Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole and how they changed nursing around the world.  We will now be moving onto two small projects that you can do at home with your family over the next week and longer:  1) a family tree and 2) a competition that you can participate in - 100 Great Black Britons.

1. Family Tree - you will probably need a little help from an adult.

• Look at the Family Tree lesson.
• Complete the All about Me activity sheet
• Use the Family Interview Questions to find out about your family member.  You will find out a lot about what it was like when they were a child.  Write their answers down.  You could phone/Zoom/FaceTime a family members (grandma, grandpa, aunty, uncle) who don't live with you.  You can also ask your Mummy and Daddy too.
• Complete your own family tree.  You can use the template OR you can draw your own.
• Complete the My Family activity sheet.

2.  100 Great Black Britons competition (if you would like to enter).

The competition is for young people to create a fun and unique project celebrating Black Britons and their legacy.  You will pick someone of your choice and write about them - a presentation, poem, play, story or even do a dance!  You just have to explain their history and why they were so important.
