Good morning Year 2, I hope you are all well and looking after your families.

Please keep on working hard and sending your work in! I am very impressed with your fabulous sharing and grouping in Maths, as well as your small, beautiful handwriting in your writing tasks! 

Below are your lessons for today. Remember to email your work to Year2_Home@st-john.lancs.sch.uk or put it on our school blog.

Everyday, please find time to log onto www.getepic.com/students using our class code (that was texted to you and it's on our school blog) and click on your initials, to access the books that I am assigning for you to read. I will add more books each week. They can be found in your mailbox! If you have read your assigned books, please feel free to read any of the other age-related books available on the website too. This website is what our school is using to monitor your reading at home, please make sure that you are reading regularly.

Music with Mrs Jones!

Hello Year 2!

I hope you are all keeping well and working hard. Here is today’s music lesson.

LO: To listen and respond to music.

Do you remember my favourite instrument? Of course, it’s the violin! We are going to listen to a short clip which teaches you all about the violin and the lady will play a little part of ‘Spring’ from The Four Seasons by an Italian composer called Vivaldi. Do you remember listening to ‘Winter’ by Vivaldi at school? That music made us feel cold, chilly and icy. I wonder how ‘Spring’ will make you feel? I am sure I could hear the violin making high pitch sounds like birds tweeting when I listened to ‘Spring’. Here’s what you are going to do:

TASK 1

Click on the link below. Listen to the clip which teaches you about the violin.

TASK 2

Click on the second link below. Listen to the second clip which is ‘Spring’ by Vivaldi.

TASK 3

Click on the document below which asks you questions about ‘Spring’. You can print off the document and write on that or write the answers in your work book. Send this work to your teacher in the normal way.

Enjoy the lesson!

Have a great day Year 2!

Love, Miss Dewhurst x
