Hi Class 2,

It was great to see some of your clouds in a bottle yesterday – they looked brilliant! I have now added the answers to the maths questions so that you can check your working out. Here are today’s tasks:

Maths
For you warm up can you spend 10 minutes on times table rock stars.

Here are today’s White Rose materials. Please find the links for the videos and the activities below.

If you need to revise the features of instructional writing you can watch the video below.

Instructions BBC
Computing

During the Spring term we looked at the internet, what it was and how we use it. Can you create a poster on purple mash explaining what you learnt? Look for the  2do ‘about the internet’. You should see a range of subheadings and clipart to help you to create the poster. You can use the following videos to help you to remember what we have learnt.

World wide web

How does the internet work?

How do search engines work?

Good morning Class 2,

I hope that you all enjoyed completing your self portraits yesterday! I look for ward to seeing them. Here are today’s tasks.

Maths
For you warm up can you complete the cloud themed activities below.

Bronze cloud estimation

Silver cloud addition

Gold grid reference clouds

Here are today’s White Rose materials. Please find the links for the videos and the activities below.
Year 3 – Summer term w/c 11th May Lesson 2- Multiplying 2 digits by 1 digit

Year 5 -Summer term w/c 11th May Lesson 2 – Equivalent Fractions
Activities

Year 3 lesson-2-multiply-2-digits-by-1-digit

Year 4 Lesson 2 Perimeter of a rectangle

Year 5 lesson-2-equivalent-fractions

English

Today we are going to look at a cloudy lesson again but this time thinking about the conversation that the two characters are having. Use the planning sheet below and try to write down some ideas about different things that the characters could be saying to each other.

A-cloudy-lesson-speech-planner


Now we need to think about how we set speech out including speech punctuation as well as the punctuation that we use inside the inverted commas. Watch this video below. BBC – revise direct speech.

I would like you to write out the conversation that the two characters could be having. Year 3, try to write at least eight sentences, four from each character making sure that you punctuate the speech accurately. Year 4, make sure that you are using a range of verbs and better words than ‘said’. Year 5, try to write about the action as well as the dialogue. You could use some reported speech if you think it is appropriate to maintain the pace of the story.

Science

As we have been looking at clouds in English, I thought we could learn more about the types of clouds.  Watch the video and powerpoint below.

Different-types-of-clouds-powerpoint

Now can you try to make a cloud in a bottle? I have given you two different methods to try as you may not have everything that you need at home so read the equipment list before deciding which version to use.

How to make a cloud in a jar using hairspray

If you don’t have any of the equipment at home, you can write about the different types of cloud on the sheet below.

Hi Class 2,

I hope you all enjoyed starting your family tree yesterday? I am really looking forward to seeing what creative presentation ideas that you have come up with. Some of you managed to send me what you were working on yesterday and I was delighted to see your facetime/skype conversations and family tree designs. Fantastic work! Here are today’s tasks:

Maths
For your maths warm up I would like you to go on a scavenger hunt around the house and garden. Try to find an item that is approximately 10cm long, an item that is approximately 20cm long and an item that is approximately 30 cm long. Now measure your items – how close were you?

You could either record the interview while it is taking place and write down the answers to your questions neatly after the interview, or write down the answers after you ask the questions.

Topic

Today and tomorrow I would like you to complete a family tree. You can present this in anyway that you would like. Try to be imaginative. Perhaps you could use presentation software such as powerpoint to show you family tree before using a slide to give more detail about each person. You could draw out a poster of a tree and add family photographs to it. You should find lots of ideas online to get you started. If possible try to include dates on your family tree. You could also include photographs or any other information that you like.

Here are some templates to help you but you should find more online.

Could you please ask someone in your house to test you on last week’s spellings?

This week you are going to develop a family tree. Over the next two days, I will ask you to interview a family member or members, create a short biography or description about a family member and to present your family tree (back to 4 generations – your great grandparents)  in an interesting way.

Today in English, I would like you to prepare an interview with a family member. You will carry out your interview tomorrow. Think about who you could interview. If they don’t live in the same house as you perhaps you could arrange an interview via skype or facetime? Try to think about an interesting period of history that they lived through. Your interview could ask them questions about that. Try to plan at least ten questions to ask them but you may find that you want to ask more. You can watch the video below for some ideas.

Interviews

Science

Can you design and build a boat using materials in your house? Don’t worry too much about the exact equipment you need. You could use any container that you think would be suitable. You can either print the sheet below, or just draw a picture straight into your book. Could you please try to label the force of upthrust and gravity on your drawing and then describe two improvements that you could make to your boat if you were to make your boat again.

Home Learning Tasks Tuesday 28th April

Hi Class 2,

I am glad that some of you managed to complete the computing task on purple mash yesterday? I know you have a really good understanding of e safety so some of you were able to offer really good advice. If you haven’t managed to look at it yet, it will be available for you to complete until Friday. Here are today’s tasks.

Maths

For your warm up can you try this fraction matching game.  I suggest that year 3 work on level 1, year 4 on level 2 and year 5 on level 3. If you find it too easy, try the level above. If you find it difficult, start with a fraction you know. Remember to look carefully at the denominator (the total number) and the numerator (the number that you have).

We will be working from the White Rose materials again. Please find the links for the videos and the activities below.
Year 3 – Summer term w/c 27th April Lesson 2- Subtract Fractions
Year 4 -Summer term w/c 27th April Lesson 2 – Halves and quarters
Year 5 -Summer term w/c 27th April Lesson 2 – Subtracting Decimals with the same number of decimal places.
Activities

Year 3

Can you watch the video from BBC bitesize explaining what prepositions are.

There is an activity to complete under the video. Once that is complete, I have set you a 2do on purple mash called Bella and the farm.

Year 4

Can you watch the videos from BBC bitesize about proper nouns and pronouns.

Can you then complete activity 1 from the BBC site. Once you have finished that, there is a 2do for you to complete on purple mash called past and present.

Year 5

Watch the BBC bitesize video on how to use brackets for parenthesis. There is a short activity for you to complete underneath.

You can also sing along to this video!   Once you have watched those videos there is 2do for you to complete on Purple Mash called story snaps.

Topic

Take a virtual tour of The Titanic. I found it easier to navigate using the menu at the bottom of the page to look at each part of the ship. You can also move across the ship with your mouse. Once you have had a look at that, can you fill in the diagram of the cross section of the Titanic which you should have in your learning packs.
