Remembrance Day

By

Good morning Year 2, 

As we already know, today is remembrance day. At 11am we will be having a minute of silence to show our respect for those who served in the war. 

Here are the amazing poppies we made in class that have been displayed in Tesco. Have you seen yours?

Who can remember why the colours red, black and green were important? 

A bonus point if you can remember why a poppy is the chosen flower for remembrance day!

    Red is blood, black is death and green is new life.

    Poppies were chosen because they were the first flowers to grow after the war.

    The red is for blood, the black is for death, and the green is for new life.
    The poppy was chosen because it was the first flower to grow in the battle field after the war.

Good morning year 2,  It was so lovely to see some of your faces yesterday and pass on your packs. Remember to look after them and let me know if you need any extra help.  1. Today would normally be music day! So let's have a go at the body percussion videos we have tried out before... Easier ...   2. Check that you can log in to  times tables rockstars  and have a go at some activities. Your brown envelope has a sheet in with your login details!  3. You were all given learning logs with ideas for our new topic this half term, keep trying to complete one activity each week.  Lastly, you could have a go at practising your handwriting if you have time. Write each letter of the alphabet as a lower case and capital letter. Think about the size of letters and where they should sit on the lines.  I hope you all have a lovely weekend. I am excited to get started with your new topics properly next week!  Miss Healey
