Remote Learning Friday 3rd April

Posted: Apr 1, 2020 by: Emma Barker (EBarker) on: Class 2

It's the last day before we break up for the Easter holidays! It sounds rather strange saying that, doesn't it? I'll still be checking the class2@netherthongprimary.co.uk email during the next two weeks, so please feel free to email me. I'm hoping that we can pitch the tent in the garden and have a campfire tea one night in the holidays. I'll also try to organise an Easter egg hunt. I aim to send my Easter cards to friends and family and perhaps write a little more than I usually do. I'm going to keep up my running too, I've challenged myself to the 'Keep up the 5k Challenge', which means I need to complete 13 x 5km runs before the 30th of April, I'm currently 62% of the way there. What plans do you have? Let me know. 

So the schedule for the last day is as follows...

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

Active time - Joe Wicks is showing a PE lesson at 9am (Are you liking the George Ezra music now?)

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

LO: Review of the term

I've set you two assessment tasks on Mathletics.

I would really like everyone to have a good go at these - one is the arithmetic paper, a little like our 6 questions and the second challenge is the reasoning paper. You may wish to have a pencil and paper with you too, so that you can jot down any workings you might need to do. I've put this onto Mathletics for a week - so if you can't do everything today, you can complete them another day.

Literacy

So the day has arrived to actually write your traditional tale based on The Great Fire of London! I'm so excited about this activity, we are going to complete it at home too. Now using your plan from this week, you need to write the whole story. You need to think about all the things we remind ourselves of in class:

Full stops and capital letters.

Using the four sentence types.

Using exciting words and adjectives to describe.

Can you use speech and punctuate it correctly?

Beautiful presentation, concentrating on letter size. 

Ensure you connect your sentences with conjunctions like: because, when, so, if.

And spelling those common exception words correctly.

If you're stuck starting off your story, you can use the story start below and finish it for me. If you would like to type your story, then that would be fine. Please can you all email me your stories to class2@netherthongprimary.co.uk and I will include these in your portfolio.

Once upon a time there was a poor boy called Jack. He lived on the streets of London as his mother and father had died in the Plague in 1665. Jack was a good boy and always tried to help people if he could. One day he was strolling along Pudding Lane when he smelt smoke...

I look forward to reading your stories!!

Art

The boys and I completed an Easter bunny art project this week: Can you guess which one is Ed's, which is Will's and which is mine?

Perhaps you could have a go too? Here's the blank version for you to download.

Here is the challenge from Miss H for today! From Monday, all challenges are going to be posted on the school blog. Miss H will still post the creations that get sent to us. Remember to email us your creations! Here is the tower I made at my Grandma's house, can you beat it? If you don't have Lego, don't worry any construction material will do …

Have an egg-cellent Easter, missing you all so much!
