Remote Learning Monday 30th March 2020

Posted: Mar 29, 2020 by: Emma Barker (EBarker) on: Class 2

Happy Monday everybody. I hope you are well and have had a nice relaxing weekend. I've been busy doing lots of tidying and sorting jobs. I've even sorted out all of Ed and Will's books into alphabetical order - I'm not sure what's happened to me! I've decided that we could open our own library and there's no chance we are going to run our of things to read. What have you been up to? Another idea that we've started is a 'wishing jar'. Every time we think of something that we wish we could do, for example, 'go swimming' or 'search in rock pools', we are writing them down and popping them into the jar. Then when we can do those things, we'll remember what we wished for. Anyway, onto today's learning and your possible timetable... 

E.R.I.C. - Everybody Reading in Class for 20mins (remember to record your reading in your reading record)

Active time - Joe Wicks is showing guiding a PE lesson at 9am (have your legs been hurting? Mine have!)

Maths/Literacy - do this in batches of 20 mins each, build in breaks.

Break - make sure you get some fresh air, wrap up warm if you need to.

LO: Maths Puzzles

Today's 6 questions...

• 7 + 35 =
• 45 – ? = 18
• 3 + 17 + 8 =
• 10 ÷ 2 =
• Write ninety-nine in digits.
• ½ of 18 =

Today I'd like you to play the 'roll a penny' game. You can download a grid here. The idea is that you roll a penny, make a note of the amount it lands on. Roll again and then add the two amounts together, roll again and add that amount. Play in pairs, the one that get nearest £1 is the winner. 

Literacy

This week's spelling words are:

shy    

sky

dry

cry

fly

reply

terrify

horrify

multiply

butterfly

Please can you write them out in your yellow book and then use them in sentences. I've put these onto Spelling Shed and the transcript from Spelling Planet is here for you to read (and act out!).

Then I'd like you to play a game of 'traditional tale tennis'. You need to play with an adult. The idea is that you think of a traditional tale - 'Three Little Pigs', then the next person thinks of another 'Red Riding Hood'. Keep going, don't repeat any. How many can you think of? Now have a conversation about what makes a traditional tale? What do they have in common? Perhaps you can add some of your thoughts about traditional tales to the comments on this thread? This activity will help you with your work tomorrow.

History

Our Great Fire of London topic is coming to an end. Have a look at this presentation which recaps everything we have learned. Then have a go at creating your own acrostic poem using this writing frame. You only need to think of one word for each line, starting with the letters spelling out 'Great Fire'. 

Science

Now Toby and his dad have been doing some star gazing. One positive thing at the moment is that there is less light pollution and very few planes in the sky. This means it's easier to spot the stars and planets (Venus is very bright and visible at the moment). The International Space Station is also clearly visible at different times - you can download an app to let you know when it will be passing over us. Here are some constellation activities you may wish to have a go at and then you could try to spot them in the sky - it will come dark at about 7:45pm, so you may have to wait till the weekend to do lots of star spotting. 

Here is the challenge from Miss H for today! Remember to email us your creations! If you don't have Lego, don't worry any construction material will do ...

I hope you have lots of fun with the activities I've planned for today. Remember to keep sending in your photos and I'll post them at the end of the week.
