Remote Learning Monday 29th June 2020

Posted: Jun 27, 2020 by: Emma Barker (EBarker) on: Class 2

Good morning my lovely Year 2 class, how was your weekend? I hope you had a nice time. We had a quiet one, but I did harvest some of my vegetables and made a lovely lunch…

The quiche has spinach from the veg plot and the salad, potatoes and peas are from there too! I can’t quite believe I’ve managed to grow so much as I’ve never been successful in the past. I really think that growing things has helped me to relax in these strange times. What activities have helped you over the last 3 months?

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 ‘Believer’ on Go Noodle 

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

Maths

LO: : column addition 2-digits add 2-digits no re-grouping

 

  • 108 + 10 = ?
  • Partition 12 in 3 different ways.
  • 35 - 7 = ?
  • 120 ÷ 10 =
  • What number is 9 more than 36?
  • Make £2 with 3 coins

Here we have the numbers 23 and 35. Think about how you would add these numbers together…

You could add the tens to make 50 and the ones to make 8 and then slap them together to make 58. Did you think of this way? Good.

Today we’re going to look at a new way of adding two two-digit numbers together by using the ‘column addition’ method.

With this method, it is important that you set your work out really neatly and ensure your numbers are in the correct place value.

There are a few rules with column addition – if you follow them, you’ll be flying! Here goes…

1)       Set your numbers out in the correct place value like so…

 

2)      Start from the right hand side – so in our case the ‘ones’ column. Add the ones up and put the total underneath, like this…

 

3)      Now add the ‘tens’ column up and put the number underneath.

 

Now try this one: 17 + 41 =

Use the column method, check your answer using partitioning (10 + 40 and 7 + 1).

Now try these:

  • 24 + 43
  • 52 + 17
  • 81 + 15
  • 34 + 44
  • 76 + 23

Here are this week’s spellings:

As usual you will find them on Spelling Shed and the transcript for Spelling Planet is here to download.

This week we are going to look at a wonderful Australian author and illustrator – Shaun Tan. You may have come across some of his work before. I really like his unusual, intricate drawings and that some of his books are just pictures, so that you can tell your own story from them.

Today I’d like you to explore Shaun’s website at:

http://www.shauntan.net/about.html

 

You can have look at all his links but I’d like you to focus on the 'about me' section in order to answer these questions:

 

  1. Where did Shaun Tan grow up?
  2. What degree did he gain?
  3. In what city does he work now?
  4. Name three of Shaun’s books.
  5. Which Pixar film did Shaun work on?
  6. What award did Shaun win in 2011?

 

I hope you enjoy finding out about Shaun Tan!

Geography

LO: To explore the physical features and landscapes of Australia.

Do you remember talking about what a physical feature is when we did our Arctic topic? Can you remember what it is? A physical feature is a landmark made by nature and not by humans. Can  you think of the physical features you have seen where you live?

 Look through this week’s presentation with your adult. Then see how much you can remember by completing this activity:

 

Stay safe and enjoy your day! Remember Mrs Matthews will be on the blog tomorrow.
