Remote Learning Thursday 30th April 2020

Posted: Apr 29, 2020 by: Mrs Parker (NHemingway) on: Class 2

Good morning my lovely little munchkins, Miss H here again!

This week in the mornings, my mum and I decided to start to learn some Yoga and Pilates. We felt things were getting on top of us a little with the current situation and everything that is going on so wondered what we could do. I remembered that Mrs Lindley always says how much better she feels after a yoga session, so we looked on YouTube and we couldn’t believe how much more relaxed we felt after doing this. Maybe you could try some yoga and let me know how you get on? Here is a quote that made my smile this morning from my new favourite book:

 

Here's the suggested timetable for today:

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 (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAxW1XT0iEJo0TYlRfn6rYQ)

Don’t forget GoNoodle:

Through your life, you go through different stages from a baby to an adult. From the time you are born until you become an adult, you get taller. All the parts of your body grow. As you get taller, your legs and arms get longer and your hands and feet get bigger. Your body mostly grows in proportion so that you don’t end up with giant feet and tiny, short legs! Did you know that your feet are the same size as your forearm?! How could you test this and see for yourself?

I would like you to put the stages of human development in the correct order, then draw a picture for each one. Here is the sheet.

Why don’t you try and do something like we did for our bin men? Here is a template for you to make something for a key worker you know, whether that be a member of the NHS or supermarket worker. It will make them smile and realise how much we appreciate what they are doing for us! Here are the letters that we coloured in …

   

PE

Throughout the summer term, like year 1, we would be learning tennis with the Thongsbridge Tennis Club coaches. This week we are going to look at developing your balance and coordination.

Balance a ball on the racquet while walking and jogging and then develop this by bouncing a ball like a basket ball using a racquet.

In tennis you need good hand-eye coordination. You can improve this by dropping the ball with the hand you do not write with (non-dominant hand) and hitting the ball after a bounce with the hand that you write with (dominant hand) to a partner to catch it. Then swap over.

If you don’t have the facilities to do tennis at home, you could always use your hand as a racquet.

Computing

On Purplemash, we are going to carry on looking at coding.

I have set the Turtle task. There are videos at the start of each challenge which explains each task. If you click the hint button, it will show you how to code each object. Any problem, just let me know. Good luck!

This hint button gives you little clues as to what the coding should look like.

Here is the Lego challenge for today! Remember to email me your creations! If you don’t have Lego, don’t worry any construction material will do …

 

Keep Smiling and stay safe!

Miss H
