Remote Learning Wednesday 20th May 2020

Posted: May 19, 2020 by: Mrs Parker (NHemingway) on: Class 2

Good morning to you my little cherubs !

It has been a while since I updated you on my painting so I thought I would share it with you today! I haven’t had chance to add much more to my masterpiece, but it is coming along nicely. I am planning to add a lot more and may even finish it over Spring Bank! After I have finished it, we are going to have it mounted onto some wood like a proper canvas, so the moment of truth, what do you think?

This is what it is hopefully going to look like when I have finished …

Check out the break for a funny idea I had …

Here is the suggested timetable for today:

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

Active time - Joe Wicks guided PE lesson at 9am

Don’t forget GoNoodle:

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

Break – If you have a pet, try taking a funny picture of it and we could make a funny pet wall on the blog to make people smile?

RE

Maths;

Lo: Solve a maths investigation

  • 47 + 66 =
  • 94 - 30 =
  • 53 + 8 + 2 =
  • 45 ÷ 5 =
  • Write ninty-eight in digits.
  • Partition 431 into 100s, 10s and 1s.

Here is your puzzle for the day:

Literacy;

It was lovely to see your acrostic poems yesterday! Over the next two days, we are going to create a non-chronological report about a sea creature. We write non-chronological reports to give people information on a particular subject. A non-chronological report is non-fiction.

Today, I would like you to research your favourite sea creature! Will you choose the mighty blue whale or the humble sea snake? The colourful blue tang or cheeky dolphin? The choice it yours! Find out and make notes about the animal you have chosen, we want to give people information about these wonderful creatures.

Here are some questions that you could discuss in your report:

  • What does it look like?
  • What is the habitat like?
  • What is their diet?
  • What are their predators/prey?
  • Can you think of a fun fact that you can add?

Here is a structure you could use for your report:

Tomorrow, we will write up our report, good luck!

RE;

What are special times for Christians and Muslims?

What might you do differently at special times or for celebrations? Think of birthdays and other celebrations, do you go to a special place or do things that you don’t normally do?

Christians and Muslims both have special times during the year when they might have special worship or prayers. Can you name any festivals you have heard about/celebrated? What symbols are associated with these different festivals?

Christians celebrate a festival called Harvest. Click here to find out more:

Do you know how Muslims prepare for Eid Ul Fitr? Special prayers are said during Ramadan including opening and closing fast and a special night of prayer in the last week of Ramadan.

Here is a PowerPoint about this festival, which is happening at the moment.

The Traweeh is a special prayer during Ramadan when Muslims remember the giving of the Qu’ran to Prophet Mohammed.

Discuss these festivals with people at home. You could create a poster for each festival, explaining what it is about using pictures and only a few words?

Thank you all for a fabulous week so far and remember to keep in touch!
