Whole School Design Challenge - 15th October 2020

 

#InspiredToLearn Half Term Holiday Design Challenge

“Lest We Forget”

This half term holiday we would like you to have a go at making your own single poppy, we will attach these to a wreath that we will be making in school.  The wreath will be placed at the town war memorial by some of our older children after half term as an act of remembrance for all those that gave their lives in conflict.

Design Specification:

- Your Poppy can be made of any material, clay, cardboard, felt, polymer clay, paper, recycled materials, etc.

- Your Poppy should be 3D, rather than flat.

- Your Poppy must be bigger than 5cm but smaller than 12cm in width.

- Your Poppy does not have to be red, in recent years we have used other colours to represent other groups of people who have given their lives in service of our country.  You could research these groups and decide what colour you would like to make.

- Your Poppy could have a loop or hook which will enable it to be attached easily to our wreath.

- Please write your name and year group neatly somewhere on your Poppy.

Please hand your Poppy in to your class teacher by Wednesday 4th November for its inclusion on our collaborative act of remembrance.

Home learning – Year Two World Map Friday 9th October

The children in Year Two have been given a map of the World. For a “home learning” activity, I would like them to find where each of the continents and the oceans are located - and label these on the Map. 

Continents	Oceans
Europe Africa Asia North America South America Oceania   (Australasia) Antarctica	Atlantic Ocean Pacific Ocean

Many thanks,          Duncan MacBean

Year Two - Vegetables for our soup please (for Friday)

 

Dear Year Two - We would be very grateful if you could bring in a vegetable to contribute to our Vegetable Soup. Our soup will be our starter for our Friday Harvest Meal. Many thanks.

Year Two learning to name the parts of a bicycle

 

The children in Year Two worked in groups to label the different parts of a bicycle. We had to make sure we cooperated effectively within our group. We had to listen to each other and take turns.

Year Two - Bicycles Writing (Oh, and...is there any chance you could bring your bicycles to school on Monday?)

This week in our English Lessons we are using the theme of “Bicycles” to develop our writing.The children will have to collect facts about bicycles and group these facts into sections or paragraphs. We will be writing a report. The children will be working on this in their Writing Books throughout the week. 

On Monday, I am hoping to bring some bicycles into the classroom so that we can have a good look at the different parts of a bicycle. I would be very grateful to any children who are able to cycle into school on Monday so we can look at their bikes. Yes, the forecast is not good, but it would be great if you could, please!

Year Two Fun with Harvest Art

 

Home Learning Year 2 Friday 2nd October

 Talk about a Photo    

Home Learning Year 2         Friday 2nd October

For your home learning this week, we would like you to find a photograph that is of interest to you and prepare a little “talk” about the photo that you can present to a group of friends (or the whole class).

The photo could be of you with your family at an exciting place, or a photo that you have found in a magazine or on the internet that interests you for another reason (historical, geographical, scientific etc). 

The important thing is that you should prepare to talk about the photograph for a couple of minutes in an interesting way that engages the listeners in your audience. 

You are allowed to have some notes to help you if you like, but we are hoping that you are able to present a little “talk” without having to read too much.
