The Summer months are upon us and the past few days have given us a good taste of it!  We hope you have managed to have some safe fun in the sun and we all remembered our suncream.

To start off this week here is a Summer themed topic.  The weather activities take us nicely away from the Extreme weather of last week’s topic.  Have a go at as little or as much as you like.  There are links to resources within the overview but I have also uploaded them separately.  Again these come from Twinkl which you can access freely at the moment.

If you can’t print then most of these activities can be done looking at the screen and drawing your own versions.

I’ve set a challenge in Sumdog but this time it is literacy based.  Have a go and see how you get on.

1.  It’s a beautiful day so take your learning outside by using your hands and feet to measure things outside.  Try to estimate (make a good guess) first.  You will need to decide if hands or feet would be best for each thing you measure.

How long is the path?

How wide is the door?

How high is the door handle?

How high/wide is the gate?

What else could you measure?

Can you compare 2 objects and say which one is longer/shorter, taller/shorter, bigger/smaller?

Try ordering objects from smallest to biggest/biggest to smallest.

2.  Next use stones, small sticks or petals (coins, toys cars and books are some ideas for inside measuring) as your measuring units to measure smaller objects.  Remember to estimate first.

How wide is the step?  How wide is the TV?

How high is the plant?  How high is the lamp?

How long is the spade?  How long is the fork?

Below are some links to worksheets.  These can be used to help you find things to measure, understand the task or you could complete them to show your learning.  They are levelled with 1, 2, or 3 stars so pick the one you feel you can do.  There is no expectation to do a worksheet, they are there for guidance.  We would love to see what you get up to so try to post some photos in Teams or on here.

WRITING

What are your memories of being at school?

Write a few sentences about your memories of school.  What do you remember?  What did you enjoy and what are you looking forward to doing in school in the future? Draw a picture of your memories.  Please share your thoughts with us on Teams or on here in the comment section below.

MATHS

Write out a timetable for a day in your life with times and the things you did written out.  You can write the times in words, draw a digital display and a clockface for each time.  E.g.

8 o’clock              8:00              Get up and have breakfast

Half past 8           8:30              Have a shower and get dressed.

Good morning,

If you haven’t had the chance to go on Microsoft Teams yet then come on over and say hello!  Everyone in P3/2 has been emailed a link to our class team.  Log into Glow and go into your emails, hopefully the link will be there.  Let us know if you have any problems.  We are all learning how to use it and have been doing some online training!  As part of my learning I have had a go at setting up a collaborative task for us and I’m hoping you can all manage to login and add to it.  It is called, ‘Things we like in P3/2’ and I have asked you to add a sentence telling me 3 things you like.  Good luck!

We hope you had a lovely holiday weekend.

To follow on from our previous learning about Volcanoes in Term 1  (our Edinburgh topic) this week’s learning in based on ‘Extreme Earth’.  Pick any of the activities you like, there are some drawing and writing tasks, a science experiment to make a tornado in a bottle, label a volcano, and lots more on the Topic sheet (from Twinkl).  The labelling activity is the only one which needs to be printed (just one of the sheets, they have stars to show the variation in difficulty) but you could draw your own volcano and label it instead if you can’t print it.  All other resources can be viewed on your computer or tablet.

cfe-ss-140-extreme-earth-p2-mini-home-learning-topic_ver_3    Topic activity sheet, also contains links to the resources below.

t2-g-3769-volcanoes-differentiated-labelling-activity-sheet  Volcano labelling task, just choose one of the sheets with 1, 2 or 3 stars.  Answer sheets are included.

T2-G-383-Extreme-Earth-Display-Photos

As with all tasks we’d love to see what you get up to or hear how you got on.

Here is a really simple and effective activity that you can add to whenever you feel like it.  If you can’t print it then draw your own version.  It’s ok not to be ok.
