Hello Year 2,
Here are today's tasks...
PHONICS / GRAMMAR
We will continue to look at contractions. This is where we use apostrophes to join/shorten two words to make one word, for example, 'can' and 'not' becomes 'cannot'.
Please look at the power point attached below.
Then try the worksheet below. You don't need to print it out, just write the answers out.
Afterwards please rewrite the passage below using contractions. For example, 'I am' becomes 'I'm'. You can then check the answers by finding this page in the powerpoint.

TOPIC- FRENCH
Bonjour, in Year 3 you will start to have French lessons with Mrs Bell so I thought we would get ahead and learn a little today by learning some greetings.
Everton trio Morgan Schneiderlin, Kurt Zouma and Lucas Digne are on hand to help Ben Shires teach all about French greetings.
Watch and move along with this active learning video.
