Remote Learning Tuesday 2nd June 2020

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

Good morning Class 2! So I’ve been in school getting the classroom ready for our first pupils to be back. I’m pleased to say that we now have a brand new ceiling and lights, which are so much nicer and will be kinder for our eyes. The classroom looks a little bit different, but still a lovely learning space and I look forward to having children back in there! I hope you found yesterday OK and enjoyed the work on Australia!

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

E.R.I.C. - Everybody Reading in Class for 20 mins

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.

Music

P.E.

  1. The first two coins have a total of 12p.
  2. The first coin is double the value of the third coin.

Can you remember what an adjective is? Have a look at this website:

Adjectives

There is a lot of information about adjectives on here and a great game to have a go at too!

I hope you enjoyed finding out about Dreamtime yesterday. Today, we are going to look at the first story in our book. So take a look at The Rainbow Serpent and the Story of Creation together with your adult and then answer these comprehension questions. You can download a PDF of the story here or read it from the pictures below:

  1. How did the Serpent move over the flat, dry, empty land?
  2. What did the tracks that the Serpent created become?
  3. Explain how the mountains came to be.
  4. Name three creatures that she woke up first.
  5. Who did she wake up last of all?
  6. What did the Rainbow Serpent teach the humans?
  7. What warning did she give to the humans?

 Music

For music this week, and this week only, I would like you to experiment with your musical talents! Find something unusual that makes an interesting sound. Repeat this process until you have a collection of four or more items. Now is your time to get creative! Make a piece of music to inspire others to make their own unique compositions! Have fun! 

PE

This half term in PE, on Tuesday's and Thursday's, we are going to be learning athletics. It was ment to be the Summer Olympics in Tokyo this summer, however it has been postponed. So I though why not bring the Summer Olympics to you! Each session we are going to learn a differnt sport that can be found in the Summer Olympics. If you complete every task, at the end of the half term you will recieve a gold medal for completing in your very own mini Olympics! 

The first event will be the sock-putt (shotputt). 

As most of you will not have a shotputt at home, I thought you could use a ball of socks! See how far you can throw them from standing on the spot, feet sholder-width apart. Place the ball of socks under you chin at one side, then lean back on your back leg. You are going to push your weight forward to your front leg and then push you sock-putt forward and release! How can you measure the distance that your sock-putt has travelled? Let us know how far you throw it! Here is a link to a video of the actual shotputt at the Olympic Games:

Have a lovely day, enjoy the sun and stay safe!
