Good morning Y2. Hope you had a lovely weekend. What did you get up to? I had a lovely day out in Victoria Park with some of my friends on Saturday. The queue for the ice cream van was too long though but it was worth it. Please remember to send in your work to Joan. Now let's move onto today's learning.

Today, we are going to write sentences for and against George's decision to make the medicine. I have done two sentences for you. Use conjunctions to give your reasons. What other reasons can you think of? Would he get in trouble? What if Grandma finds out he is making it? What about his parents? Should children be making medicine?

George should make the medicine...	George shouldn't make the medicine...
I think George should make the medicine because the old grouch is always mean to him.	I think George shouldn't make the medicine because it could be dangerous for him and Grandma.

Maths

We have been learning about measures. We have learnt to measure length and height, capacity and volume. Today, we are going to learn about mass. Mass is how much matter/substance/stuff something is made up of or consists of. Complete the following activities.  

Computing

What is a computer? How would you explain what a computer is to someone else? Is it always found on a teacher's desk or ICT suite? Where else can we find computers? Do they all look the same?
