Computing home learning:

Hi Year 2!

This week I have made a poster using Microsoft word. It tells you some of the things I like. I would like you to have a go at creating your own. You can use Microsoft word, if you have access to it, or use a poster creating app. If you are able to print, then I would love to see what you have made when we are back in school. If not, see if you can show someone at home some of the skills you have learnt.

Have fun!

Music home learning:

Have a go at playing this tune (attached file) on the virtual piano!

The notes on the piano are labelled so follow the words on the sheet and play the note shown above the words. If you're finding it tricky, try singing along to help you remember the rhythm of the melody! If you have a real piano/keyboard/glockenspiel at home, try to use that as well.
