Posted: Jun 21, 2020 by: Emma Barker (EBarker) on: Class 2

Good morning my lovely Year 2 class, how was your weekend? It was a real mixed bag with the weather but we managed to get a lovely walk on the canal between Marsden and Slaithwaite, topped off with fish and chips, which is always a treat! We also had movie night and watched the new Dr Doolittle.

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 on today or try ‘Saved by the Bell’ on Go Noodle 

Maths/Literacy - do this in batches of 20 mins each, build in breaks.

Maths

LO: Place 2-digit numbers on a number line.

• 67 + 13 = ?
• Partition 5 in 3 different ways.
• 65 - 17 = ?
• 30 ÷ 10 =
• What number is 5 more than 65?
• Make £1.20 with 3 coins

Look at this number line with numbers from 0–100 (it would be useful if you could print it out or redraw in your book).

Where should we mark 47? What number might it be useful to place on the line to help? 

Where is 27 on this line? What number might it be useful to place on the line to help? And where is 25 (or 30) on the line…? Try these: where is 70 on this line? Is it nearer 50 or 100? Now mark on all multiples of 10.

If you have more people at home, get one person to have a piece of paper with ‘0’ written on it, and another person with 100 written on a piece of paper (alternatively you could blu-tac the numbers to the wall). So if you are standing well apart from one another – you’ve now got a human number line!

Write a two digit number on another piece of paper and stand where you think this number might be between 0 and 100. Keep going with new numbers.

Today we are going to read another story from Stories from the Billabong by James Vance Marshall and Francis Firebrace. Our story this week is called ‘The Lizard-Man and the Creation of Uluru’.

Read the story with your adult, discuss your thoughts about it. Today I’d like you to find out more about Uluru using the Internet and perhaps some books at home. I know many of you have Australian connections or know people who have visited the country – perhaps they can help you with your research?

Whilst you read about Uluru and learn all about it, can you find out the answers to these questions:

• What did Uluru used to be called?
• What is the circumference of the rock?
• When do scientists think it was formed?
• In our story, Aboriginals thinks the rock was created by Lizard-man, but what do other Aboriginals think?
• When did the ownership of the rock return to the Aboriginal people?
• Can you climb Uluru?

Geography

LO: To explore what Christmas is like in Australia compared to the UK.

We may have celebrated the longest day yesterday, but today we’re going to think ahead to Christmas and see how Australians celebrate this tradition. Take a look at this week’s presentation and then try this sorting activity:

Check back here tomorrow for a special guest blogger on the Year 2 blog! Stay safe and enjoy your day!
