I hope you had a nice weekend and are ready for our final week of learning before Christmas. Today’s lessons will be at 9.00 (Literacy) and 1.00 (Numeracy). If you have any questions or are not able to access them, please let me know.

Grammar
Can you practice matching these root words to the correct suffix?

What other words have these suffixes?

Handwriting
Last week, we learnt another rule for making present tense verbs - we doubled the final letter and added ing. Can you follow that rule to change these into the present tense? 

We also learned how to drop the e and add ing. Can you change these verbs into the present tense using that rule?

This week, we are going to be learning another rule for adding ing to verbs. Use the correct sizing to copy the ing join multiple times.

Today’s rule is about adding ing to words that end in y. ​

 

 

Then try to write these spelling words using our handwriting joins.


Religion/ PSHE
Watch this video about what we do with our rubbish. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/z8s87hv

Can you think of ways that we can reduce the amount of rubbish that we produce?
Why don’t you create a poster teaching others about reducing their rubbish, reusing or repurposing their rubbish or recycling?

Current Affairs
I would like you to create your own 2020 Time Capsule. A time capsule is a shoebox that you hide objects, letters or other items from one time and place and open it much later. You can add objects that have been important to you this year, hide the time capsule and open it in a few years. It will be nice for you to see what your life was like during isolation in 2020.
​​​​​​​What could you hide in your 2020 Time Capsule:

• Photos
• Newspaper cuttings
• Letter to yourself saying what you are doing, how you are feeling and your likes or dislikes
• Prediction of what you think the future will be like
• ​​​​​​​Significant objects (clean mask, picture of your favourite toy)

This afternoon, we will have a live lesson. I have sent an email with the link to the parents whose email addresses I have and added it to the children's email accounts. If you did not receive a link or have any queries or questions please email yeartwo@missiongrove.org.uk. I will be recording this lesson and adding it to our channel so you can watch it back.

Reading
Use the picture to help you answer these questions.

What clues are in the picture which help you? Using your own experiences or your memories of Christmas movies, what do you think the answers are?

Religion and PSHE
Christmas is celebrated in different ways in different countries.
In Australia, people eat seafood and visit the beach.

In Norway, people swap presents on Christmas Eve and decorate their tree with heart shaped paper baskets.

In Japan, people book their KFC dinner two months in advance as it is so sought after.

Can you research two countries and create a fact file about how Christmas is celebrated in each one? I have already included a suggestion for subheadings and layout. You need to make sure that you are writing in clear sentences with correct punctuation and spelling.

PE
