Larch (Yr2)

Week Beginning 25.05.20

This week is half term and we hope that you have a chance to relax.  There is no formal work set but if you would like some ideas of things to do, please see our half term activities below.

Accessing Work

Some of you have said it is hard to access the work we are posting on a small screen, such as a phone.  If this is the case then red button on the BBC have daily lessons which you can access on your TV so if this helps, please work from there.

Monday 20th April

On today's BBC red button you can see some information about the first moon landing.  At the end of the programme there is a cartoon about the moon landing your child may enjoy.  This is especially useful if you don't have access to a laptop/tablet etc.  There is also a maths warm up and a book club section.  

Work for week commencing 6th April and 13th April

We hope everyone is well and happy and still enjoying lovely family time.  Here is the work for the next two weeks.  Bear in mind these are holiday weeks...although all the days seem much the same at the moment.  Take some time out to relax, though.  We will begin learning some new skills after the holidays.  If your child finds learning tricky it is more useful to do programmes like Teach Your Monster to Read to help phonics and reading skills and basic maths skills like counting and addition and subtraction up to 20.  If your child flies through the work given, they can extend their writing by using an online thesaurus and maths by challenging themselves to beat scores on Numbots and TTRockstars.  They could also keep a diary of events over the next few weeks....it is a time we will all look back on over coming years and a reminder of the times would be interesting.

Stay safe, all.

While children are not in school, please find below the work we would like them to complete. We will update this page regularly with further work.

 

Children can also access the following websites to support their learning:

• Spelling shed https://www.spellingshed.com/
• Times table rock stars https://ttrockstars.com/
• CBBC/Bitesize https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zpxnyrd 
• Science clips https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zcn9j6f
• Find ou about Vincent van Gogh https://www.tate.org.uk/kids/explore/who-is/who-vincent-van-gogh
• Books to read online - free to join https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page/ 
•  

 

 

 

In addition, here are some ideas for projects that children could complete at home:

• Study an animal and design a habitat.
• Plant and grow some seeds in different places - in sunlight and in the dark...what happens?
• Use boxes etc to build a machine you can travel in to go back in time to meet Vincent van Gogh.

 

The current work set for the children can be found below:

If you have any questions about the work set or want to share something wonderful you've done then contact Mrs Clements via the office office@churchfield.bwmat.org and I'll reply as soon as possible.

We have been learning how to sew today.  This is a great life skill and something you could do at home while the school is closed.  The £1 shop sell sewing kits and for fabric you could use old clothes or get bits and pieces from one of the £1 charity shops.

We have been using real money to make different amounts and give change in our class shop.  This is such fun to do at home....price up some food or toys with amounts from a few pence to about 20 or 30 pence and the children can find coins to pay for one or more items or pretend to be the shop keeper and give you change.

We have really enjoyed using our art and ICT skills, logging on to the computers and learning how to use the internet safely to draw pictures.  Our favourite place to learn is Art for Kids Hub.  Give it a go!  If you don't have paper, use the back of letters or the inside of packaging.

We had lots of fun finding out about sharks today.  Did you know there are over 500 species of shark in the world?!  We drew sharks and did some shark comprehension.  We read shark facts with Mrs Clements in a small group and also had a good time practising our number facts on Numbots.  We had shark top trumps cards to help us with our number ordering, using the greater than and less than symbols.  If you have top trumps at home it is great for practising this essential maths skill.  In the afternoon we drew some funny shark puppets and built shark cages.  The only bad thing about the day was that Leo chose shark day and he was unable to be in school today :-(

If you're learning at home how about drawing a dragon and writing a story about them?  Or you could design a fact sheet.
