Good morning P2, please find your learning grid for this week attached, enjoy!

P2 learning grid week beginning 11th May 2020

Ms King x

 

I hope you have all had a lovely holiday weekend and are ready to get on with some more home learning! Please find the learning grid for this week attached. As this is a shorter week I do not expect you to complete everything on this grid. Pick the activities which interest you and only do two and a half days worth. I have also included some more flash back 4’s as some parents were asking for them.

Please get in touch with me if you have any questions or need any help.

take care,

Ms King

P2 have been super busy with their home learning. It’s really great to see and hear how you are all getting on. I am so impressed with how motivated you all are. These are just some of the pictures I have received! If you sent in learning emails over the weekend I will reply to them shortly. P2 parents, thank you for being great home learning teachers, you are all doing a super job!

 

Please find attached this weeks learning grid, enjoy! Please email me if you have any questions. Could I also ask that you email me a copy of your spelling lists. This will help me to plan out the next sets of words. Thank you!

Good Morning P2, I hope you have all had a lovely weekend.  I am currently editing the learning grid and will post it ASAP! In the meantime here is some science to get going with.

Usually I have the children here with me to comment on what we have enjoyed learning during the week. As this is not possible I am going to use the learning comments and pics which have been emailed to me. Thank you to everyone who has emailed me their child’s learning this week. It is great to see that you are keeping busy with some home learning. So here goes with our first lockdown learning reflection…

Marine Biologist Job Application

I have received several applications for the Marine Biologist job. Don’t worry if you have not submitted your application yet, you have until Friday 1^st May to email it to me. There have been some very good replies to the questions and great suggestions about which sea creatures to study, please see  below:

Why do you want to learn about the sea?

I really like dolphins and turtles and I really like to swim in the sea. I try to look after the sea by not putting plastic products in it. I don’t drop litter and I use a reusable water bottle. I also like to take care of animals in the sea like turtles.

All different types of sea animals and what the animals eat.

There are lots of interesting sea creatures and colourful fish I would like to learn about.

What sea creatures would you like to study?

There have been some good suggestions about which sea creatures to study. So far there is interest in turtles, dolphins, sting rays, eels and starfish!

What do you already know about that animal?

They are endangered and they are good swimmers.

Stingrays are flat with long tails some can sting you. Blue nose dolphins are the most popular in the sea. Eels are like worms but much bigger. Starfish are shaped like a star, on top they are rough and the bottom is smooth.

In  numeracy this week P2 have been busy making doubles, making equal groups and finding a half.  It is great to hear how children are making links with their learning. Here are some learning comments from one mummy:  used his new found knowledge of fractions to work out the correct spacing for new monkey bars we built in the garden…He also really enjoyed applying his new knowledge of fractions when cutting sandwiches for lunch.

Thank you for sharing your learning. Next weeks learning will be posted on the P2 blog on Monday.  Stay safe and have a lovely weekend!

Write – please complete and return the Application for Marine biologist by next week. You can use the application sheet or write up your own.

Here are a couple of videos, that will explain the role a little before your children apply for the Job.

I want to be a marine biologist.

Application Form: Marine Biologist application

Good luck, I hope you get the job!

Say – Talk to your family about how many sea creatures can you think of, can you think of one for each letter of the alphabet?

Make – list or draw what you would like to learn about the ocean and what you already know. Have a think about what things you might need if you were going to learn about the sea. What might you need to keep safe at sea?

Do – start collecting some collage/junk materials for art work. Colour in the map and name the oceans in the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk8zDjQT0aE

Our numeracy focus this week is doubles. Grouping and sharing to make equal groups and finding a half.  Numeracy activities for this week can be found at:

Numbertalks  – using addition strategies for doubles/ near doubles.

Example:  Which doubles/near-double strategies will you use to solve the following problem:  8+9   

a. 8+8 +1  (using this double decomposes 9 into 8+1)

b. 9+9-1    ( add an extra 1 and then subtract it from the total)

c. 10+10 -3  ( 8+2=10 , 9+1=10,  10+10= 20 –3 = 17 using this double requires the student to add 3 extra and then subtract the extra 3 from the total)

Doubles using basic facts up to 10 

3+3,  3+4, 3+2

3+3,  3+4,  3+2

4+4,  4+3,  4+5

5+5, 5+4, 5+6

Doubles using numbers between 10 and 20 

11+11, 12+12, 11+12, 11+10

12+12, 13+13, 12+11, 12+13

13+13, 14+14, 13+12, 13+14

14+14, 13+13, 14+13, 14+15

Please find attached some science activities for this week. There is a power point to introduce the topic of mini beasts and a follow up activity sheet titled ‘Minibeasts and Their Habitats’ which is differentiated. I’ve also included an activity grid which is full of fun activities linked to the theme of mini beasts. Children can choose which activities they would like to do from this.
