We had great fun today doing four different activities to keep fit and celebrate Sport Relief. We did relays, skipping, ‘Over and under’ (a ball game) and tried to improve how far we threw foam javelins. Take a look at the photos.

A Famous Classical Composer
This week we finished reading Dick King-Smith’s book ‘A Mouse called Wolf’. The musical mouse is named after the famous classical composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
At the end of the book, it suggests two pieces of music that you could listen to. Here they are:
Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (A Little Night Music)
Mozart’s Sonata in C Major, K,330 played by Daniel Barenboim

📚 World Book Day 2020 📚
What’s your favourite story or information book..? Why do you like it..?
We had great fun thinking about our favourite book characters and dressing up for the day… Take a look at some pictures… Can you guess the characters and books..?
We looked at this book which was just like another book we had read about Vikings.

Night at the Museum ~ Ancient Egypt + Spotting anachronisms!
We have been thinking about Ancient Egypt and when this period of time fitted in World history. We know it lasted a very long time! Can you say how long..? Watch the clips to refresh yourself about key facts.
We looked at a picture and spotted ten anachronisms. An anachronism is something that didn’t occur, exist or hadn’t been invented then.
⏰ Tell the time ⏰
In Year 2, you should have learned how to tell the time to quarter of an hour at least, as this photo shows:
Check you can do this at least, then revise telling it to 5 minutes, e.g. 6:20 or 1:55.
This half term, we will be reading it to the nearest minute, e.g. 4:21 or 12:03.
Today, we also discussed a.m (ante meridian ~ before midday or before noon) and p.m. (post meridian ~ after midday or after noon). Is 12:00 midnight a.m. or p.m…?
