Remote Learning Wednesday 22nd April 2020

Posted: Apr 21, 2020 by: Emma Barker (EBarker) on: Class 2

Happy Wednesday everyone. I think it's going to be very hot today, so make sure you get some fresh air and pop on the suncream, hats and find shade when you need to. Perhaps you can pretend that you are 'beside the seaside' and stick your feet in a bucket of water whilst singing the song! 

Did you try any of the Bitesize learning or www.thenational.academy/online-classroom ? My boys thought the Bitesize maths was a bit easy but enjoyed the history.

So the suggested schedule for today is as follows...

E.R.I.C. - Everybody Reading in Class for 20 mins (can you send me a photo of you reading in an unusual place? If you look at the Y6 blog, they have been doing this and have some great ideas - Alex even read in his car roof box!).

Active time - Joe Wicks is showing a PE lesson at 9am or Go Noodle 

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

Maths

LO: Count on in fraction steps.

  • 22 + 23 =
  • 35 – 18 =
  • 7 + 43 + 7 =
  • 90 ÷ 10 =
  • Write eighty-seven in digits.
  • Partition 64 into 10s and 1s

For today's activity you'll need lots of small squares of paper - post it notes would be perfect. Fold each square in half and write ½ on each side, do this for 5 pieces of paper. Now cut your halves out. Place your halves in a row and count in halves as you do so, write your sequence down.... ½, 1, 1 ½, 2, 2 ½ .... keep going like this:

Repeat this activity for quarters and for thirds (these are trickier to fold so get your adult to help!). Write your fraction sequences in your book - you are now counting in fractions!

So today we are going to write a poem based on our picture from yesterday. It doesn’t have to rhyme if you don’t want it to. Have a look at Michael Rosen reading one of his funny poems about a hamburger...

Does this give you some ideas? Use your picture and words from yesterday to create your own seaside poem, then email it to me at class2@netherthongprimary.co.uk - the funnier the better! 

R.E.

Today's lesson is thinking about the meaning behind prayer and the reasons for doing it. Lots of people, who are religious, pray to their god, often to ask for help, say thank you or ask for forgiveness. Can you think of any other reasons people might pray?

At this time, lots of people are praying or trying to have moments of reflection - this helps us to think about what is happening to us and think of others. It can also help to calm the mind and refocus.

Activity: Draw around your hand and write down 5 things you are concerned about, thankful for or would like to pray about on each finger. Colour your hand and discuss your thoughts with the adults at home. You all might like to do this activity as a family to see whether you think in the same way.

Here's a nice idea for some seaside art. You might not have a paper plate, so you could use a piece of paper or cereal packet. If you don't have shells, you could draw some and cut them out. The main thing is to have fun!

Here is the Lego challenge for today! Remember to email us your creations! If you don't have Lego, don't worry any construction material will do. Here is mine, my mum's and Grandma's that we made from scratch! What do you think? 

  

I hope you'll enjoy today's activities, don't forget to keep sending in your pictures for Friday's gallery. I haven't heard from some people just yet so it would be lovely to hear from you!

Take care, stay safe,

Mrs B xx
