Thursday 4th February 2021
Good morning everyone.
Please find today's learning attached below. Once you have completed your daily activities you will need to photograph your work and email it to me. My email address is:
mcook@seal.kent.sch.uk
Key Stage 2 teachers need your help! - REMINDER
Remember that your motivational poster needs to be completed, photographed and emailed to me by Friday 5th February.
Your poster should send messages of support, hope and they can wish everyone well. Once we have received all the messages we will put them into a music video. Take your time over your poster and to show great pride in your work. Make your poster bold and colourful and you can use an art media of your choice, from pencil to paint to collage. I would recommend that you first plan your ideas before eventually creating your final piece of work.
IMPORTANT: When taking a picture of your work you must check that the image is clear and that we can read your message. Please do not show a photographic image of yourself in the picture. If you do, we will not be able to use your artwork.
Here are some examples of possible messages:
If you have any questions please .let me know.

9:30-10:00 Guided Reading
Over the next two days you will be taking part in a school wide project, where you will be looking at "pollution and our oceans". To help you understand more about the subject I thought that we could use this as an opportunity to pause reading "A Bad Beginning" and to look at some texts and comprehension questions based on the ocean.
You will find the text and questions below. There are three levels of challenge - mild (the easiest), spicy and hot (the most difficult).
The answers are at the end of the questions page, please self-mark your own work.
Today's, comprehension is called "Layers of the ocean".
