Remote Learning Tuesday 16th June 2020

Posted: Jun 15, 2020 by: Emma Barker (EBarker) on: Class 2

Good morning Class 2! Thank you for all your emails over the last few days. Daniel has been asking whether myself and Miss H can do the long jump and who would jump the farthest. So today we will have a little competition and we'll post the results. I think it is fairly obvious, who will jump the greatest distance, don't you?!

We hope you have a lovely day; here's the suggested schedule for today...

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: Find halves, thirds, and quarters of amounts.

• 32 plus 9 = ?
• Which number is even? 5, 17, 29, 16, 41?
• 35 minus 15 = ?
• Half of 16
• What number is 3 more than 98?
• Make 60p with 4 coins

You’ll need some Lego bricks or similar today to help you. Have a look at this…

1/4  of 12 is    ? 

Remember how we can find a quarter by sharing the bricks into 4 piles. Have a go yourselves, hopefully you’ll agree that there are 3 bricks in each pile, therefore we can say: 1/4 of 12 = 3.

Add another 3 bricks to your collection so there are 15. Look at  1/3 of 15 = Remember how we can find 1/3 of an amount by sharing it into 3 piles. Do this and hopefully you’ll agree that 1/3 of 15 is 5.

Have a look at the bar model below – what does it show?

Divide the 21 bricks into three piles. Write and complete the sentence: 1/3 of 21 = ?

What number do you need to write in each of the 3 spaces in the second bar? 

Have look at this second bar model diagram:

The top number is the number of bricks you need to count out. The second bar shows us the fraction. Here, there are four parts, so the fraction is 1/4. Complete the sentence: 1/4 of 40 = ?. Write your number in each space in the second bar. How many bricks would be in 3/4? Three quarters is three of the spaces, so complete the sentence: 3/4 of 40 = ?.  

Look at this third bar model,  can you find 2/3 of 12?

Now have a go at this:

To get warmed up today, have a go at this online game:

I hope you enjoyed yesterday’s story. I think it such a special story with a great message. Today I would like you to read it again and answer these questions:

• The Creator made three different types of animals, what were they?
• Name three features of the Platypus
• What was the name of the kangaroo?
• Why do you think Platypus had to think about joining the Mammals family?
• What does the word ‘almighty’ mean in the sentence: Cod, leapt out of the water and came down with an almighty splash.
• Why do you think Platypus couldn’t make up his mind about which group to join?
• Which tribe did the hunter belong to?
• Put these events in order:

1) All the animals agreed with Platypus’ decision.                       

2) The fish asked the Platypus to join them.                              

3) The Creator made the Mammals, the Fish and the Birds. 

4) The Mammals asked Platypus to join them.    

5) Platypus decided to stay on his own.    

6) The birds asked Platypus to join them.    

PE

The Paralympics are just as important as the Summer Olympics as it allows athletes with an impairment to participate in competitive sports. I always admire and respect the Paralympians as they have to work twice as hard to achieve their goals! Today, you can going to complete the Para sport, Boccia. Here is a video of what Boccia is or an explanation is here:

Boccia is a target ball sport which tests both muscle control and accuracy. From a seated position, players propel balls to land as close as possible to a white marker ball, known as the Jack. Two sides compete as individuals, pairs or as a team of three over a set number of ends (4 for individuals and pairs, and 6 for teams).

Each side plays six balls (red or blue) each end. After each end, the athlete, pair or team with the ball closest to the jack receives 1 point plus an additional point for each ball closer to the jack than their opponent's.  Points are accumulated over the course of a match to find a winner. Although simple to get started, the tactics of the sport offer both tension and excitement as the game plays out.

Balls can be rolled down a ramp, thrown or kicked. If a player is unable to release the ball with their hands, they can use assistive devices, such as a head pointer.

I would like you to have a go at this sport, involve people from your house and let me know how you get on! 

Here is a video clip of Boccia from the olympics in 2012 which were in London.

Music

It is time for music! Remember, each week we are going to learn a song from a different era. We will be saying a goodbye to the 70s, but a big hello to the roaring 1980s! Here is the song Walk Like an Egyptian by The Bangles. 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.

We hope you all have a fabulous day, wish us luck for the long jump!
