This week I have set you maths work (pictograms and graphs), writing (create an 'Africa' acrostic poem), music/ dance (copying and remembering dance moves) computing (make yourself into a tour guide/ paint the South African flag) and art (Year 1/2 memory picture).
We will be watching The Lion King in class on Thursday afternoon as an end of year treat if you would like to do the same at home.
Have fun completing some or all of these activities and I look forward to seeing your work and receiving your emails if you would like to share anything!
Have a lovely last week and an amazing Summer holiday!
Thank you for all of your hard work!
You have been brilliant!
Love from Miss Dutton x

Reading and Spelling - It is really important that you can all read and write words with the sounds below. Keep practising them! Can you choose a sound and write 6 words for it. Try to learn to spell 5 common exception words each week too.
Year 1 children- Check you can spell these words from the list above?

Year 2 children-
We have now learned to spell some words that end in 'al' like jackal and 'el' like camel.
This sound at the end of words can also be spelled by adding 'le'. This is the most common word ending for this sound.
This week I would like you to learn to spell these 6 words that end in 'le'.

Maths
* * * Please keep practising temperature, mass, capacity, time telling, adding, subtracting and counting in 2s, 3s, 5s and 10s to learn your times tables. There are also maths challenges for year 1 and year 2 in the files at the bottom of this page. * * *
As mathematicians- Can you read information from pictograms and graphs?
Warm up-
What is...
Half of 2? Half of 10? Half of 6? Half of 4?
Half of 12? Half of 14 ? Half of 8? Half of 16?
Half of 18? Half of 20? Half of 40? Half of 100?
Pictograms and graphs
Pictograms and graphs help us to show information in a bright and colourful way.
Activity 1- This week you are going to see if you can read information from pictograms and block graphs to answer questions.

Pictogram and graph activities
Activity 2- Why not have a go at creating your own graph using Purple Mash? You may like to collect information from as many family members and friends as you can about their favourite African animals, seasons, chocolate bars or games for example (Give them 5 to choose from). Or maybe you could count the different colours of cars parked in your road or ones that drive past your window in 10 minutes? Counting the different colours in a tube of smarties is always fun!
Create yourself a simple table like this to record your findings before making your graph.
I have set this activity as a 'To do' on Purple Mash for you.
You can type a title for your graph and choose the colours that you want for each option as I did for mine below.
Writing
As writers- Can you write your own Africa acrostic poem?
In an acrostic poem the first letter of each line spells a word going down the page. The word is the main subject of the poem. Each line of the poem can be made up of just one word or a phrase or sentence about the subject.
Activity 1- Read these acrostic poems with an adult. Do you both have the same favourite?
Activity 2- Think of as many words as you can that start with the letters in the word Africa as this will be the subject of your acrotic poem. You could create a plan like this to collect the best words. Remember there are 2 letter As in Africa.

Activity 3-Using all of the information you have learned about the continent of Africa, can you create your own Africa acrostic poem?

Why not illustrate you poem too or decorate a page border for it?
If you have enjoyed this activity then why not have a go at creating an acrostic poem for your favourite African animal?
Music and Dance
As a dancer- can you copy and remember dance moves?
Everyone in school seemed to enjoy singing and dancing to our African song 'Maliswe' last week so I thought we'd have a bit of fun with another of my favourite Africa songs this week.
In 2010 South Africa hosted the Football World Cup and matches were played in 10 of their football stadiums, including the one in Cape Town that we have already seen pictures of.
The official song of the 2010 South African World Cup was called 'WAKA WAKA' which means 'to shine'.
The links below will show the closing ceremony of the South African World Cup in 2010 and a dance tutorial to learn the moves to the song. Why not have a go at dancing along? There's a footballer friendly version too!

Computing
In computing- can you turn yourself into a safari guide and paint the South African flag?
On Purple Mash I have set you 'to do'activities.
Follow the instructions to take a photo of yourself and create your new look as a safari tour guide! 
Can you paint the South African flag the correct colours too?

Art
As an artist- can you draw or paint some of your favourite memories of being in either year 1 or year 2 this last year.
I'm so sorry that our year together in school was cut short but I have loved every minute of teaching you in the Deer Class!
My favourite memories of our year together would be our Christmas play- 'Lights, camel, action 2', playing in the snow on the playground, going to see Santa at Delamere Forest, making our bird feeders, gymnastics with the big equipment in the hall, making our clay Diwali lamps, seeing your amazing inventions in our Dragon's Den challenge, creating our own Traction Man adventures and our visit to the Victorian museum followed by our Victorian day in school.
What a great year we have had!
Thanks for making it so special Deer Class!
