Remote Learning Thursday 11th June 2020

Posted: Jun 10, 2020 by: Mrs Parker (NHemingway) on: Class 2

A BIG hello and good morning to you all!

I hope you are all well! At the weekend, I went on a socially distance walk with my mum and dad, the first time in over 11 weeks! Going for long walks on the moors is one of my favourite things to do as the views are stunning and it allows you to escape from everything else that is going on in life. It was so good to spend some time with both of them and go for a walk which is something that we enjoy doing a lot! We went for one of my dad’s famous ‘moor tours’. He always says he know where he is going, but most of the time he makes the route up as we go along!

 

What walks have you been on? Any recommendations for me?

Here's the suggested timetable:

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:

Break – Try to capture what your life is like at the moment in one picture? Can you send it in so we can see?

This half term, we are going to be looking at living things and their habitats. We are going to focus on our local habitat. Can you remember the 7 life processes from last week? I will give you a hint, Mrs Gren.

Well done, here are the 7 life processes:

To stay alive and healthy, you and all other living things need certain conditions that let them carry out the 7 life processes. These are:

  • Food and water
  • Space to move, grow and have young
  • Air and oxygen
  • Shelter and safety

A habitat is a place where animals and plants live, where they can find everything they need to stay alive. It can be as big as an ocean or as small as a rock.

Think about these questions about the habitat that you live in:

  • Where do you live?
  • What living things live and grow there?
  • How does your habitat keep you safe and sheltered?
  • How does your habitat provide food and water?
  • How does your habitat provide space for you to move and grow?

Humans are unique because we can make big changes to our habitats to make sure we have everything we need.  How do humans change their habitats?

  • We build roads and vehicles so we can travel everywhere we need safely and quickly.
  • We pipe fresh, clean water into our homes to use for drinking, cooking and washing.
  • We grow plants for food, and farm animals for meat and dairy products. We even have pets to keep us company!
  • We build houses with heating to protect us from cold weather, or with air conditioning to protect us from the heat.

Here is a PowerPoint about British habitats.

Your main activity for today is to look at your local habitat and draw a map of it. Draw the trees and plants, and any animal homes that you find. What type of habitat is it? Draw and label any animals that you see.

Here is a PowerPoint all about fire safety.

Recently, there has been a lot of fires being set on purpose and by accident on the moors. This is down to people using disposable BBQs and others playing with matches and lighters. Not only does this damage the environment and the animals and plants that live there, but also it could be harmful to the people involved in extinguishing them. Personally, I find this very upsetting as I live very close to the beautiful Marsden moors. Today, I would like you to create a poster to help protect our environment from fires.

Another PE session, another Olympic event!

Today, we are going to look at long jump. You start be setting out a large space with a marker where you will jump from, make sure you leave enough room for you to travel after you have taken off. Depending on the space available, you can either jump from your marker standing still or if you have more room, you can take a run up to your marker before jumping. Make sure when you jump, your feet are behind the line if you are standing still, or your foot in behind the marker if you are taking a run up. Here is a video from the previous Olympics in 2016 of the long jump. How could you measure the distance you jumped? Can anyone else in your house beat your distance? Good luck!

I really enjoyed listening to your compositions last week and I had a really good dance on Friday night to the different pieces of music! Because of the success, I have set this for you again this week. Good luck!

Have a wonderful day and remember to keep smiling!

Unfortunately the habitat and fire power points don't seem to have loaded?
