Remote Learning Tuesday 9th June 2020

Posted: Jun 8, 2020 by: Emma Barker (EBarker) on: Class 2

Good morning Class 2! Thank you for all your emails over the last few days. You’re doing great with all the work and so are your adults, so I’d like to say a huge well done to you all! Can I say a big hello to Ella - Ella is going into hospital on Friday and it would be lovely if she had some nice messages from her friends. Please can you comment on this blog today and wish her all the best?

Today is Tuesday, so you have both myself and Miss H on the blog today. We hope you have a lovely day. 

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.

Maths

LO: Solve logic puzzles

• 37 + ? = 50
• 36 – 6 = 32 - ?
• Double 17
• 8 x 10 =
• Write 50 in words.
• Name the 2D shape:
• 
• Have a look at the ‘Sandcastles’ problem below. 

Read it carefully together with your adult. How long was Lisa on holiday for? Who was she on holiday with? How old is Lisa?

So we don’t know from the information given, but if we don’t know these things, what do we know? Now what do we need to find out?

Do you have any ideas about how we might make a start? Why not pick a number to try for day 1 and see how we get on…Record that number for example ‘20’…

So day 1 she makes 20, day 2 she makes 16, day 3 she makes 12…. Keep going.

So, how many sandcastles is this altogether?

Hmmm, is that’s too many/ few?  What do we need to do to the starting number…? Your challenge is to find the number that Lisa DID make on day 1, and the other days of course, to give a total of 80 sandcastles over the 5 days. The type of maths you are using is called ‘trial and error’. Like I always say – you learn from your mistakes and you might not get it right first time but keep trying!

English

Can you remember what a noun is? Can you remember what a proper noun is? How about an adjective? There’s also something called a comparative adjective – these describe words by comparing them! Two examples would be ‘bigger’ or ‘smaller’. Have a go at this game…

sorting words

How did you get on with your introduction yesterday? Well today I’d like you to write the next two paragraphs. Look at your research and decide what you’d like to write about first. You need to think of an appropriate heading. You also need to use full sentences – not notes like you did in your research. Here’s an example of my notes and how to put them into interesting sentences:

Koalas – sleep 18 hours – don’t drink a lot – eat 1kg eucalyptus leaves…

Lifestyle

The sloth is one lazy animal but the koala is hot on its heels! Sleeping up to 18 hours each day, the koala has little time to do anything else. One other thing they do is eat. The little koala can eat a staggering amount of its favourite food – eucalyptus leaves (up to 1kg each day). Although they eat a lot of leaves, they don’t drink a lot of water – instead they get all the moisture they need through the leaves.

Have a go and see how you get on. Keep reading your work back – is it ‘hooking’ your reading in?

Remember to write just two paragraphs today – but make them really good!

Music

I thought as something a little different this last half term. Each week, we are going to learn a song from a different era. We will be starting with the 1970s! Here is the song Dancing Queen by Abba. Try learning this and performing it to people at home! Also, do a little research into music in the 1970s. Here are some questions to help you get started:

• Which artists were popular?
• What genre of music was most popular?
• What instruments were used most during this decade?

Make notes and let me know how you get on! Here is a link to a YouTube video of the song and here are the lyrics.

PE

Our next event in our mini Olympics is the cycling. Now, there are many different events within cycling both on the track and on the road. I would like you to take part in a road event by cycling a distance and recording the distance you travelled. Can you take a picture of the people you went on a bike ride with? Here is a video of some cycling on the track from the most recent Olympics:

We hope you all have a marvelous day and keep in touch as we love seeing what you are up to! 

See you tomorrow, 

Mrs B and Miss H xx
