Remote Learning Thursday 14th May 2020
Posted: May 13, 2020 by: Mrs Parker (NHemingway) on: Class 2
Well a good morning to you all on this marvellous Thursday!
At home, we have been looking through old photos and reminiscing about what life used to be like. This is something I always like to do as I am fascinated with the history behind different photographs. Recently, before the virus, we even got out an old projector with different little slides that you have to push into the projector to move them on. Here are some of the photos that we came across of me …
Why not have a look back through some of your old photographs. You can send me some if you like and I will create a guess who collage!
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:
Science
PSHE
Break – Why not have a game of musical bumps? Remember to be careful and try to 'bump' on a cushion or something soft!
PE

Today, we are going to be looking at exploring the environment as a factor of survival for animals, including humans. Can you remember the three things that all animals, including humans, need to survive? That is right, they need oxygen, water and food! Think about where you live and why you live there.
Animals live in lots of different habitats and their bodies have adapted to suit the environment they live in. Polar bears, for example, have thick coats to keep them warm in the cold polar regions.
Sharks and other fish live underwater because they do not have lungs to breathe in oxygen like land animals do. Instead, they have gills to take in oxygen from the water. They also have bodies that are smooth so that they can move easily in water.
Your first task is to decide which environment is best for these animals and state your reasons why? You could draw the table in your home school book or here is a printable copy.
Now, I would like you to research your favourite animal and answer the following questions:
- Where does this animal get its water from?
- What does this animal eat?
- Where does this animal live? Why?
- What else does this animal need to survive?
Then you can draw a picture of the animal in its habitat. You can present your work however you like; an example is here if you are not sure how to start:

We are going to create a class Kindness tree!
Mrs Barker introduced us to something called ‘Padlet’ which is like a virtual piece of paper that we can all get to and write on! If you click on the link below, you will be sent to a new window. Hopefully, you will see that I have started us off by adding my own quote to make you smile! If you double click on the piece of paper or click the ‘plus’ button, you can begin typing. In the title part, I’d like you to put your name, then we can see who has contributed. You need to write your message to everyone then press the enter button. You can add images or doodles that you can draw by pressing on the ellipsis (…). I am looking forward to your posts to make me and others smile! Here is a link to our Padlet:
PE
Right, on to tennis for the day!
Find a line to work from and place a hoop or something circular 5 paces away from the line. Hit the ball so it bounces in to the hoop, how many shots can you get in to the hoop?
Spread hoops or various objects around an open space at various distances, make sure the objects can be hit with a ball! Stand along one side of the open space and using alternate forearm and backhand try to hit the different objects or hoops. How many hoops or objects can you hit? Try challenging someone in house to beat your score for both challenges?
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 thought that over the next two weeks, we will consolidate your knowledge of coding! I have set three 2Dos for you to complete on PurpleMash. 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!

Stay safe and keep smiling!
