Next Tuesday, 16th February is Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day as we often call it.
Read the powerpoint below as a reminder of why and how we celebrate Shrove Tuesday.
It is really easy to make the batter for pancakes, have a go next week:
Mix together in a bowl – 100g plain flour, 1 egg, half pint of milk and a pinch of salt.
Then all you need to do is design and make your toppings.
Draw and describe your ideas. Think of all your favourite treats and then get them on the shopping list ready for next Tuesday.
Can you design 3 different pancake toppings?
Spelling
Sticking with the theme of pancake day, let's have some fun flipping letters. First you will need to choose a spelling from this week's list.
camel tinsel
tunnel trowel
squirrel angel
travel barrel
towel parcel
Write each letter of your word onto small separate pieces of card. Grab a frying pan (or spatula) and place your letters inside. Flip them out of the pan and onto the floor so that they become muddled up. How quickly can you rearrange the letters to spell your word correctly. Try this with each spelling in turn for some flipping good fun!
RE
Next Wednesday, 17th February is Ash Wednesday.

Ash Wednesday begins ‘Lent’ and represents Jesus going into the desert to fast for 40 days. Click here to watch a clip of the story of Jesus in the desert.

Spelling
Use the Y2 common exception word powerpoint in the files below to recap on all the words we have worked on so far. Can you read them all?
Our next 5 common exception words to read and spell are:
every great steak break pretty
Today You will need to write each of your words onto a circle of card. Now you have a 'word pancake'. Take your first 'word pancake' and place it onto a frying pan or spatula. The idea is to spell your word out loud letter by letter. Here's the tricky bit!!! For each letter you say out loud you must flip your word pancake once.
So, e...v....e...r...y = 5 flips
Now try doing this for each word in turn.
Get your grown ups involved, it's not as easy as it looks is it?
