Good morning, Miss H here again!

You are all working so hard. I have been doing a lot of baking with my Grandma and Mum recently which we have all found to be very therapeutic and tasty! Also, I found an app where you can colour by numbers. When we are colouring, time floats away and the mandalas are especially relaxing to sit and colour. 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 showing guiding a PE lesson at 9am (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAxW1XT0iEJo0TYlRfn6rYQ)

PSHE

Break – (why don’t you try baking something as a treat to cheer someone up?)

PE

Computing

Fun activity – With everyone at home, take it in turns to close your eyes (or use a blind fold) to draw an elephant. What will yours look like? Here is mine, my Grandma’s and Mrs Hemingway’s attempt …

Science

Linking with our topic on the uses of everyday materials, can you find the best material to help protect Humpty Dumpty? What materials can you find at home?

What you will need:

  • Boiled eggs
  • Ziploc bags or something similar
  • Materials to test – what can you find at home? Cotton wool, rice, bubble wrap. You will need 5 in total.

Place your materials to test in a Ziploc bag, add the egg and make sure it’s completely covered by the test material. Hold the bag at the top as high as you can and drop the bag. Check the egg for damage. Repeat for each material, if the egg cracks use a new egg for the next test.

Variables to keep constant:

  • Height to drop the egg
  • Force at which to drop the egg. I would advise using the same person to hold the bag as high as they could and then drop without using any added force. This means the height and force should be the same for each egg.
  • Amount of material to test – this is a tricky one. We drew a line on the bag and filled to the same height with each material, there are some issues with this as the bubble wrap had more air gaps than the other two materials.
  • Placement of the egg – if the egg was on the bottom of the bag it wouldn’t be cushioned so try to make sure the egg is in the middle of the material being tested.
  • Surface on which to drop the egg – this should be the same.

Write an explanation of what you have done. Can you record your results in a table in your yellow books? An example is here.

PSHE

Pass a smile around your family. Now tell each member of your family something you admire or particularly like about them. Can they tell you something positive about you? I know there’ll be too many positive things to say all at once so you could write them all down first before you say it out loud!

P.E.

Keeping with the football focus from last week, can you make a goal and practise aiming. If it is too easy, put an object in the way (Or a grown up!) so you have to aim around it. How many shots on target can you make in a row? Can you set up a competition in your house to see who can get the most?

Computing

On Purplemash, can you make a picture on 2Calculate by colouring in certain squares? A flower? A pirate? An elephant? Remember to take a picture and send it in so I can look at your amazing work! Here is mine that I did …

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!

Remote Learning Wednesday 1st April 2020

admin on: Class 2

So it's the 1st of April - did you manage to fool anyone this morning? Perhaps you can let me know some of the pranks you might have played on the people at home? I can't believe we've made it to Wednesday already, even though the days are very different, they seem to be going quickly too. 

E.R.I.C. - Everybody Reading in Class for 20 mins (remember to record your reading in your reading record)

Active time - Joe Wicks is showing guiding a PE lesson at 9am 

(https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAxW1XT0iEJo0TYlRfn6rYQ)

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

Break - could you make everyone in your house a drink?

RE

Maths

LO: Use addition strategies

Today's 6 questions...

  • 12 + 87 =
  • 44 – 17 =
  • 4 + 56 + 7 =
  • 100 ÷ 10 =
  • Write seventy-eight in digits.
  • ½ of 80

For today's game you'll need two counters (you could make these or use coins). Here's the game board. If you can't print this off, then you could re-create your own on paper. Place your counters anywhere on the board and record your number, take it in turns to go to the next number in any direction, keep adding the numbers. The first to get 'spot on 50' is the winner.

Literacy

So today we are going to plan our story ready to write on Friday. I’ve created a story map for you to add your own details. If you don’t like any of the ideas then you can change them for your own. Remember you are not writing the story – you are just planning it so it will be easier to write on Friday. You could also add pictures or words/phrases to help you.

R.E.

Have a look at this Easter traditions presentation. Can you make an Easter basket - this is a tradition that many Christians like to do. There's a tutorial on You Tube here but you might have your own way of making a paper basket.

Here is the challenge from Miss H for today! Remember to email us your creations! If you don't have Lego, don't worry any construction material will do ...

Have a great day and try to get outside if you can! Stay safe.
