Remote Learning Monday 8th June 2020
Posted: Jun 5, 2020 by: Emma Barker (EBarker) on: Class 2
Happy Monday everyone! So today we welcome some of the Year 1 children back. I’m in the capable hands of Mr Hobson and I will be teaching my little bubble all the things on his blog. However, I thought it would be nice if you guys could send me your ideas about things we could do in class. Perhaps there’s a really nice activity you’ve done at home that you think the Year 1 children will enjoy? If you can think of anything, please email it in or comment on the blog.
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.

Have a look at this little trick today:
You might have to read the instructions a few times and have a few tries! Here’s a link to a calendar if you need to download one here.

As usual you will find them on Spelling Shed and the transcript for Spelling Planet is here to download.
So you all created amazing mind maps from your research on your Australian animal last week. Now I would like to put our facts into an information text. You need to write in full sentences and use headings!
Today I would like you to think about just your title and the introduction. This is the part where you are trying to ‘hook’ your reader into your writing, so that they really want to read all the way through your piece. Often it’s a good idea to include a rhetorical question (one that doesn’t need an answer, but is thought-provoking). You also don’t want to give too much away, so don’t use all your facts straight away. You may wish to include your opinion in the introduction – this can be quite persuasive and again ‘hook’ your reader in. Here’s mine, as an example:
All About Koalas
Many people see the koala as a symbol of Australia. They are often thought of as cute and cuddly. Sometime they are referred to as ‘bears’ when in fact they aren’t bears at all. Would you like to know more about these fascinating creatures? Then read on…
Geography
LO: To be able to use a compass and explore what north, south, east and west are.
I have loved all your emails about Australia. Today we are going to practise our map reading skills. We can use a map of Australia to help us improve our mapping skills. Have a look at this presentation with your adult – there are lots of questions to discuss. After, choose one of the activities from here to complete (or all of them if you should wish!).
Stay safe!
