P2B – Week beginning 16th November

November 16, 2020 by Miss Baillie | 0 comments

Hello Primary 2B,

We have had an excellent start to our week today. We all worked very hard on our maths, spelling and reading work. We also revised our knowledge on farms and I was very impressed that we could remember the names of some of the farm equipment farmers use to help them. We were able to name and describe a combine harvester, plough, tractor, seed drill, baler and water sprinkler machines. We are now looking at the different types of farms (arable and livestock) and what they do.

Family learning task – We are going to discuss this week what farms might look like. Do they have different sections for different animals or vegetables. Do they have grass? Mud? A barn? A chicken coop? A pond? As a challenge, over the next couple of weeks I am going to ask, if possible, if families could work together to create their own farm. I’m sure P2B will have lots of ideas on what their farm could look like and able to map it out. This task won’t be due for a few weeks to give you plenty of time. Give your farm a name and use any resources you want to create your farm. If you need any resources please feel free to ask and I’ll see what I can do. This task can be as simple as drawing your farm on paper if you wish. I have attached some examples below. Just for inspiration.

As I said it can be a drawing of the farm. Below I have a attached a document that can be used to create your farm if you wish (just ignore the answer sheet, I couldn’t save it without it).
