Homework 24th April 2020

Have you noticed that more birds are visiting your garden? I know I have! This weekend why don't you do a bit of bird spotting? How many birds can you already identify? Are there some visitors to your garden or outside area that you don't know? You can have a look at the RSPB website to identify birds here. You might want to do a garden bird survey or entice some birds into your garden by making some bird feed. You could just spend a bit of time with your adult/s gazing out of the window and chatting about what you can see. We have a heron that regularly flies over our house and we always shout 'heron!' really loud. We've also spotted plenty of buzzards - although they haven't visited our garden! And we can hear the distinctive call of the pheasants in the fields.
Have fun this weekend with a bit of bird watching and see you back here on Monday!

Good morning my lovely little superstars, Miss H here again!
I hope you all had a lovely Easter break and didn’t eat too much chocolate! In between enjoying the glorious weather, I have been spending time painting. For Christmas, my sister got me a colour by numbers canvas to paint with a picture of a dog (She said that she had finally got me what I always wanted, my own dog!). I started this over the Christmas holiday but have not had the chance to add to it. I have found this so therapeutic and many hours have been lost while I have painted listening to music on the radio. Here is what it is going to look like …
Here is what mine looks like so far …
Here's the suggested timetable for today:
E.R.I.C. - Everybody Reading in Class for 20mins (remember to record your reading in your reading record)
Active time - Joe Wicks is guiding a PE lesson at 9am (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAxW1XT0iEJo0TYlRfn6rYQ)

Break – Maybe you could spend some time outside, you could try doing some gardening?

This half term we are going back to look at the topic of Animals including Humans. Not all animals have babies in the same way. Some animals lay eggs for their babies to grow in while other animals grow babies in their tummies, like humans do.
Research and make a list of some different animals that lay eggs and some different animals that give birth to live young. The worksheet is here:

I have been going out in my Grandma’s back garden and clapping on a Thursday night for all of the key workers. Have a go at doing that tonight and be sure you make as much noise as you can! I used a frying pan and wooden spoon last week. Maybe you could make a banner and hold it up while you cheer? Don’t forget to take a picture and send it to us!
Art
In the news on Tuesday, the artist Tom Croft, has painted key workers for free so they have something to remember how everyone has come together and worked as a team. Here is a video link to find out more about what he did:
Today, I would like you to take some inspiration from him and create a picture of the people in your home, so you can look back and remember who you have spent so much time with. You could sketch your picture, make a collage or any other way you think of. Be creative! I look forward to seeing your pictures!
Computing
On Purplemash, we are going to be starting a new unit of work! We are going to start to look at coding.
I have set you a quiz to test your knowledge from last year when you did coding? See how you get on.
Also, I have set an Air Traffic Control task. There are videos at the start of each challenge which explains each task. If you click the hint button, it will show you how to code each object. Any problem, just let me know. Good luck!
Here is the Lego challenge for today! Remember to email me your creations! If you don’t have Lego, don’t worry any construction material will do …
Keep Smiling and stay safe!

A Huge Netherthong Welcome To Our New Classmate...

So, I'm so pleased to tell you that we have a new member of the Class 2 team! This is Laura, and she would have started in our class last Monday under normal circumstances but as we are at home, I'm introducing you to her via the blog. It would be lovely if you could comment on this post and say 'hi' to Laura and perhaps tell her something about yourself. I'm sure that Laura will be a super class mate and fit into Netherthong just perfectly! We welcome you with our virtual open arms Laura! Here's what she has to say to you all...
"Hi I am Laura,
I’m almost 7 years old and I am so excited to see you. I love to ride on a bike, and I like to play football, I also love to swim under the water like a mermaid."

It's Friday! I hope you've enjoyed the first week back. I'll be posting a gallery of all your pictures from this week at some point today, so please send a picture if you want including. I hope that you are able to stay in touch with your classmates. Yesterday evening, Will used 'Zoom' to have a quiz with his classmates and their families. It was really nice to see all their faces and we had fun too.
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
Maths/Literacy - do this in batches of 20 mins each, build in breaks.
Creative Friday
Maths
LO: Find 1/2, 1/4, 1/3
- 20 + 27 =
- 28 – 18 =
- 4 + 27 + 6 =
- 24 ÷ 2 =
- Write fifty-eight in digits.
- Partition 32 into 10s and 1s.
This recipe uses far too much of each ingredient! Could you rewrite the recipe so that is uses just half the ingredients? Can you use just a quarter of the ingredients? How about a third of the ingredients? Remember to find a third you need to share into 3, you could use the grouping method...

So today, I'd like you to present your poem in best for your wall. You can download some nice seaside page borders here
I'd love to see you finial results.
Creative Friday
OK, so if we'd have been in the classroom, one group would have been making ice lollies. Now this is an activity that you may be able to do today but you may have to do it at another time! Here's a recipe to follow:
We would have also started our D&T project - to make our own campervans! So get thinking about making your own camper - can you do some research about what a campervan looks like (form) and what it needs to do (function). You might want to start designing your idea on paper and think about how you might make it (Lego, boxes from the recycling, using a net).
Here is the Lego challenge for today! Remember to email me your creations! If you don’t have Lego, don’t worry any construction material will do …
Take care, stay safe!
