Remote Learning Friday 12th June 2020
Posted: Jun 11, 2020 by: Emma Barker (EBarker) on: Class 2
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you’ve had a good week, thank you to everyone that has emailed me. If you haven’t been in touch it would be lovely to hear from you. It’s been a busy week with more pupils in school, all the children seem to have settled in nicely. How I wish we could have every child in school! I hope the rain hasn’t stopped you getting outside and getting some fresh air – I think it’s definitely helping the gardens get a little greener but I would welcome the sun back – wouldn’t you?
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 – perhaps you can try Andy’s Wild Workouts for a little change?
Maths/Literacy - do this in batches of 20 mins each, build in breaks.
Creative Friday
Maths
LO: Shape puzzles
- 27 + 32 = ?
- 50 + 8 = ?
- 9 x 5 =
- Double 20
- Write 83 in words.
- Name the 2D shape:
Have a look at this picture of triangles. How many triangle can you see? What do you think? Discuss with your adult.
Did you think 3? If you did, then fantastic! If you didn’t, can you see where the 3 triangle are? There are two small right-angle triangles and one larger equilateral triangle.
Have a look at this one:
How many squares?
Finally look at this puzzle…
How many squares? It might be a good idea to print out this puzzle and use different colours to mark on the squares that you find.
English
Thank you to everyone that has sent in their drafts for me to look at – we’ve had some wonderful examples so far. Today I would like you to put your information text altogether. First of all check through your draft with your adult. Look at spellings and make sure all your sentences make sense, can you change some words to make them better? Have you used interesting sentence openers?
Here is some lovely paper for you to download and make your work really special. You can include your illustration from last week and if you are able, you could print of some photos of your animal to include. Can you remember what captions are? They are brief descriptions that go under pictures and photos, perhaps you could include these too.
Use your best handwriting and I hope you are proud of your finished results. I can’t wait to see them!
Creative Friday
We had some lovely Aboriginal pictures sent in to us – here are just a few.
If you haven’t had time to do one yet, perhaps you’d like to today. Here are the weblinks that I posted last week to help you.
https://www.aboriginal-art-australia.com/aboriginal-art-library/aboriginal-dot-art-behind-the-dots/
You’ll see lots of examples of dot patterns, so you don’t have to paint an animal, it could be a patterned piece. There’s a great tutorial on here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTmikwSgTO4 and if you google Aboriginal art, lots of ideas come up – have fun!
Did anyone make the Lamingtons? Here a picture of mine, they were delicious, if a bit naughty! Here’s the recipe again, just in case you want to make them this week.
The next creative suggestion I have for you is an Aboriginal rain stick. There are some great instructions here:
They use a kitchen roll tube, but you could use a crisp tube or cocoa tin. They fill the tube with rice, but you can use dried beans or lentils. You can listen to a real rain stick here: rainstick
Does yours sound the same?
Have a fantastic day and send me all your photos by lunchtime to ensure you appear in this week’s gallery.
