Welcome Gomersal Primary School

Year 2 School Closure Work and Ideas

Bonjour tout le monde!

Tomorrow [14^th July] it is Bastille day, which is the French national festival celebrating French independence! It is the most important day in the French calendar!

I know you don’t learn French in Year 2, but thought you might fancy celebrating!

Watch the video to find out more….

If you fancy, do some of these activities to celebrate:

• Find out all about the Eiffel tower using the information sheet I've added below: it was the tallest building in the world for 40 years and was built to celebrate independence! Find out about other tall buildings around the world. Design your own.
• Create a fireworks picture with chalk on black paper. Use tricolore colours [colours from the French flag - Red, White and Blue]
• Sorting/ ordering euro coins at https://www.topmarks.co.uk/money/coins-game
• Make some bunting in French flag colours and put it up in your house.
• Ask someone to help you make crêpes [French pancakes]
• Use the cut out of Paris I’ve attached to make your own mini-Paris
• Do a picture in the style of Henri Rousseau, a French artist. He loved to imagine jungle scenes and amazing plants:

WELCOME TO YEAR 3 (nearly) 

To get ready for year 3 we would like you to complete some work for us so we can get to know you. Please can you:

• Write (or type) about yourself, using amazing words and phrases, telling us about what you like, what you do at home, what your favourite subjects are...
• Create some art-work about you: it could be a self-portrait, a collage about what you are like, a model.... 

Then take a picture and send us it, or email it if you can, or keep it for September so we can see!

Thank you

Miss Coombes and Mr Popple

Reading recommendation: https://www.theickabog.com/home/ 

Some of the children in school have started reading The Ickabog by J.K.Rowling (we're on chapter 15 so far). We're really enjoying reading it and can't wait for the next chapter. Why don't you start reading it at home? You could even take part in the illustration competition on the website. We'd love to hear about your favourite parts or see some of your illustrations if you'd like to email them to us. 

Another update from Eva and her brother Charlie:

On the final day of their steps challenge Charlie & Eva not only completed the challenge but they both went over 500,000 which is fantastic, they walked just over 300 miles each which is 9.67 miles per day!

 Charlie – 536,178

Eva – 514,177

 We're all so proud of them both!

Here are some general ideas of how you can have fun and stay safe whilst working from home:

Here are some virtual tours of different museums, famous sites and events around the world. Definitely worth a look for those curious minds out there.

If your child is worried about Covid-19 - here is a child friendly book to try calm their nerves and help them understand.
