Monday 30th March 2020

Good morning Year 2,

I hope that you are all very well and I hope that you all had a lovely weekend.

Caterpillar update! The caterpillars have shed their exoskeletons for the last time and have pupated – become chrysalides. I have moved them into their new hatching habitat. They look like they are resting peacefully, but an amazing transformation is taking place inside. Now we wait!

In the table below you will find today’s learning activities. Please keep in contact and continue to share your fantastic learning with me. If you have any questions or if you need any help please email me at: year2@popepaul.herts.sch.uk

Have a great day!

Miss Davey

This is a portrait of a famous person. The image has lots of clues about why she is important and about our next topic! Use this portrait to ask and answer questions about the subject. See the question prompts below. Record your answers in your lined writing book.

How old do you think she is?  Her expression can give us clues to the type of life she had. Describe her face. Does she have any interesting features? Where is she looking? What could she be thinking about? What is she wearing? Why do you think she was awarded those medals? Could it have been a brave act? How does she look? Do you think she has a job that is tiring? Think of jobs that require you to work very long hours. Can you guess her profession?  

 

Thank you for sharing your wonderful learning! I am very impressed with everyone’s tremendous effort! Well done and keep up the great work.
