Little Heath Primary School
Welcome to Year 2
Hello everyone! I hope you are all keeping well and you are enjoying your project on ‘Animals and their Habitats’.
We will be continuing with this project this coming week. I would also like you to include the following: To compare animals in familiar habitats with animals found in less familiar habitats and discuss the different types of habitats e.g. hot/cold, big/small, on land or in water.
I hope the extra activities enhance the ones posted from last week; you could make a book with all your amazing research. Twinkl is a brilliant website full of resources and it has been drawn to my attention that for the rest of the year, this is free! This may help with your research.
As a continuation from last week, choose an animal from each habitat and explore as much as you would like to and create a leaflet/poster with your findings from the following habitats:
- Seashore
- Woodland
- Ocean
- Pond
- Desert
- Artic
Here is a short clip to support you in producing a rhyming poem related to the the topic:

Music/Singing Assemblies
Please see below message from our music teacher, Mrs Lawrence:
Hi everyone,
Here are a couple of songs for this week: ‘Into the Unknown’ and ‘High Hopes’. You may well be familiar with one or both of them, in their original versions!
I would like to introduce you to them, as sung by Acapop, a professional kids’ pop choir. Their name comes from the words ‘a cappella’ an Italian music term which has come to mean ‘unaccompanied’ – music that is just sung, rather than played by instruments. (It’s original translation means sung ‘in the style of chapel or church music’.) All the percussive sounds and all the background harmonies in these tracks are made by voices alone. No instruments.
What different sounds can you make with your voices? Can any of you have a go at beat boxing? Can you pick out any of the harmonies in the songs?
Here are the original Acapop videos, where you can see the children perform, and the videos with lyrics:

Now that many of you are returning to school, I am looking forward to seeing a few more of you in the coming weeks, even though it will only be from a distance.
Best wishes,
Mrs Lawrence
