Piccadilly Circus (Year 2)

Welcome to Piccadilly Circus

25^th – 29^th May – Half Term

Hello everyone!

So here we are, we have reached the end of ‘Summer 1’ term, and we have so far completed seven weeks of online/home learning. ‘Unprecedented’ is a word that is being used a lot these days, but there really is no better way to put it. It has indeed been a period of new experiences and of having to adapt to new circumstances for us all.  I want to say ‘thank you’ and ‘well done’ to you all for your hard work with the online activities that were set and for all the extra activities you carried out. I would also like to say a special big THANK YOU to you, parents and carers, for your continued support with this. Speaking as a parent myself, I know how hard it is to keep the children motivated to learn when so many distractions and home comforts are calling, so a massive well done to you all: you are doing an amazing job! I have received so many lovely emails with updates and photos of activities, it has been truly heart-warming.

As you are no doubt aware, the school will reopen for a number of children (EYFS, Y1 and Y6) after half term, and I imagine that you are all wondering what will happen with regards to online learning for the children who will remain at home. I will still be setting work here on the school website (with a bigger focus on the BBC Bitesize activities), but we are going to be moving away from Purple Mash. However, please do still have a look on Purple Mash and let me know via 2email or our class email what activities you have been doing. Each child has an individual folder on Purple Mash where you can save any work you complete on there – more details will follow!

I will update our class page with further information after Half Term. As it is a break from ‘school,’ I don’t expect you to complete any school work this week. However, below are some activities for you to try if you would like to.

Wishing you all a lovely break,

Mrs Taylor

Hello, I hope you all had a lovely weekend. It seems unreal that we are now in the final week of Summer 1. I have set most activities on Purple Mash to be handed in until Friday 22nd, as this is the last day of the term. I will not be setting or marking any work during the week beginning 25th May as it is half-term.

Miss Humayun and I will continue to phone each family once a week to have a little catch up and to offer support with any doubts you might have about the home learning. We look forward to having a little chat with you again at some point this week. It's always lovely to hear about what you've been keeping busy with!

I am so impressed with all the work you are doing. You are doing so well and I am really proud of you all. 

Stay safe!

Maths

This week we would like you to follow the BBC Bitesize and White Rose Maths lessons. This week you are looking at Multiplication. 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/subjects/zjxhfg8

Worksheets attached below:

Cereal Arrays

Arrays are arrangements of equal groups in rows and columns.

Can you use rice crispies, cheerios or any other cereal to show the following arrays?

Pairs of 2

How many pairs of socks can you find? Put them in a line and count up in 2’s.

Can you write the multiplication sentence to match your socks (7 pairs of 2 socks = 7 x 2)?

How many different multiplication sentences can you come up with using pairs of socks?

5 fingers

Draw around your hands and cut out 6 separate hands. 

Use the hands to make multiplication sentences. For example if you put one hand down you have 1 lot of 5 fingers 1 x 5 = 5. What will you get if you put 2 hands down?

You might like to go as far as 10 hands.

Matching the array

On separate pieces of paper write some different multiplication sentences (calculations) using 2 and 5. (1x2, 3x5, 2x7)

On a second piece of paper draw some arrays showing the same multiplication sentences.

Turn all the cards over and play matching pairs. Turn two pieces of paper over, to collect the pair you must find the array that matches the multiplication sentence (calculation).

English

Draw three fruits or vegetables and then draw a face on each of them. Once you've done this you can add some clothes and accessories on them too. Once you've finished, pick a name for each of them. Some example names could be: Colin the Carrot or Sammy the Strawberry.

Once you have your three characters, write a sentence for each of them introducing who they are and listing the interesting features on them.

Use commas between each interesting feature.

Activity 2

Take your sentences and extend them by using any of the four conjunctions – and, because, but, with.

Can you remember what an adverb is? It describes a verb. “He ran quickly down the stairs.” Extend sentences with Adverbs

Activity 3

Make a card for your best friend - you could draw a picture on the front of what you like to do together. On the inside, write why they are your best friend.

Spelling Words for this week (Purple Mash Quiz): 

all ball call walk talk always mall fall tall natural

Reading
Remember to keep reading everyday and send us your photos of you reading in your cosy corner.

Read the pages below from a story called ‘The Stinky Plant’. Can you make a prediction about what will happen next to Biff, Chip & Kipper?

You could also read the story The Giant Jumperee and answer the questions about the story.

Phonics

Tricky Trevor is still about and he is trying to trick you with the tricky words. Get a paper and pen and set a timer for 30 seconds. Choose your tricky word and see how many times you can write it down in 30 seconds. Try to practise 4 tricky words every day.

To challenge yourself write a sentence using one or even two of your tricky words.

History

Can you research the oldest living creature on our planet?

Can you find out how many animals became extinct in 2019?

Science

Taste Test

You might think that different drinks/fizzy drinks taste different, but will you be able to tell when you are blindfolded? Try it out!

You will need a blindfold (a bandana or piece of dark fabric will work well), two cans of fizzy drink or different drink such as squash (one such as Coke or Pepsi, and one clear, like Sprite or 7-UP), a glass of water, and someone to help you.

Ask your helper to blindfold you. Make sure that you cannot see through the fabric. Have the helper open one can of soda without telling you what kind it is. Carefully take a sip with the blindfold on, and guess what kind it is. You can’t see the colour to help you know what it should taste like, so it might be a little harder to tell than normal. Take the blindfold off. Were you right? If you want to try guessing a second time, take a few sips of water first, to rinse the taste of the first soda from your mouth.

You might have been able to guess what kind of soda it was, even with a blindfold on. Do you think you could have done it if you couldn’t smell anything either? Try the test again, but this time plug your nose when you taste the soda. Was it harder to taste the difference this time? Though it may seem like there is a big difference between clear soda and cola, our taste buds work together with our sense of smell to help us taste things. This is why food doesn’t seem to have as much flavour when you have a stuffy nose.

PSHE

Keeping Healthy

It’s important we look after our teeth so that we have a sparkly smile

Write a set of instructions on how to brush your teeth.

What different things can we do to look after our teeth?

Activity

Print out the picture of the smile below. Put it inside a plastic wallet or if you can laminate the picture. With a felt tip pen draw different marks on your teeth. Then use an old tooth brush to clean the teeth.

Art:

COLOUR A RAINBOW LEAF

Flat leaves work best for this process, both for the colouring and the printing. Lay some paper or a paper towel under your leaf and colour away.

When the leaf is covered in washable marker you’re ready to print! Grab your white paper and a damp paper towel.  Wipe across the paper with the paper towel so it’s just damp, but not soggy. This is important for the paper to absorb the marker ink that is on the leaf.

Turn the coloured part of the leaf onto the paper and press down gently.  Press all over to be sure that the colours from the leaf have a chance to transfer to the paper and then carefully remove the leaf. 

Experiment with colouring both the top side and and the underside of the leaves. Which produces a better result?

Music:

BLIND DRAWING TO MUSIC

Grab a blank piece of paper and a pencil. Ask a grown-up to blindfold you (or you might just close or eyes, but no peeping!) and play a piece of music that you both enjoy. When the music plays, draw random lines following the rhythm of the song - faster when the beat speeds up, slowly if it’s a calmer, ballad-like song. 

After one minute, look at the lines you created and colour in sections using your favourite colours. Can you spot any familiar shapes? A leaf, a heart, a raindrop, maybe even an animal? 

Week commencing 11.5.20

Maths- Addition and Subtraction

BBC Bitesize & White Rose

This week we are asking you to log onto the BBC Bitesize website and view the Maths lessons. We have attached worksheets below which can be completed after viewing the lessons.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/subjects/zjxhfg8

You could also

Play number bond matching pairs- write 2 lots of numbers 0-50 on a post it note or scrap piece of paper (or print document below). Turn over the numbers and then play matching pairs, each pair must add up to 100.

If you’re struggling to add up to 100- write 2 lots of numbers 0-20 and make number bonds to 20 first.

You could also ask a grown up to hide these numbers around your house or garden- give yourself a time limit and see how many pairs you can find.

Can you then write addition and subtraction number sentences for each pair?

Create your own number story for number bonds to 20.

E.g. I had 15 sweets from my birthday. My Mum found 5 more sweets. I now have 20 sweets altogether.

Ideas have been taken from BBC Bitesize.

English

Do you remember what describing words are?

You can use lots of adjectives (describing words) when describing things and you can join ideas together using joining words like:

  •             and

  •             because

  •             if

  •             when

  •             but

E.g.  My garden is full of lovely, colourful flowers and it attracts lots of wildlife.

Activity 1

Find your favourite toy and try to describe it for 30 seconds.

Activity 2

Imagine you could create a magical plant. What would it be?

Try to consider the following things:

   •             What would be magical about your plant?

   •             Would something magical grow on it?

   •             What does your magical plant look like?

   •             Does the magical plant have a name? Why did you choose this name?

Write 2 sentences for each bullet point.

Can you write a short story about someone finding your magical plant? What would they do with it?

Remember to use capital letters and punctuation in your sentences and include lots of describing words and conjunctions.

Activity 3

Choose four people that you know - these could be friends or family - and list all the things that each person really loves.

Then think of a magical plant for each person. For example, if one of your friends really loves football, you could have a tree that is covered in lots of footballs.

Draw each magic plant - making sure you include notes to describe features of the tree.

Activity 4

Can you write the alphabet in lower case and upper case (capital letters)? How many look the same?

Activity 5

Have a chat with someone in your family and answer these questions.

What is your favourite book? (It can be a book from school or a book from home)

Why is it your favourite story?

Can you write the name of your favourite book?

Phonics

Hunting for sounds

Each day - Pick three sounds that we have learnt from the Song of Sounds.

Then go on a hunt around your home or garden and try finding objects that contain the same sound. If you can, try writing the names of the items too.

Try to find five items for each sound.

Spellings

Spelling pattern: Adding ‘es’ to nouns and verbs ending in Y.

Words to practise:

flies, tries, replies, copies, babies, carries,

cries, spies, supplies, magnifies

Music

Using your body as a percussion instrument: what noise can you make without an instrument?

•             flap your arms like a penguin

•             stomp your feet like a dinosaur

•             click your tongue to sound like a unicorn

•             rub your hands together

•             pat your cheeks

Choose your favourite song and play your 'body percussion' along with the beat.

Learn this simple but fun body percussion sequence:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/watch/the-lets-go-club-super-skill-body-percussion-shuffle

Art

Using only your finger to paint with, can you create a picture of your favourite piece of fruit?

If you go out on a walk for your exercise you might find some sticks. Collect as many as you can and see what you can create.

Science

Can you name the 5 senses?

Draw a picture for each body part that is linked to each sense.

For the next few weeks we will be looking at the 5 senses.

This week we will look at the sense of sight.

For this first of the 5 senses science experiments, you’ll need someone to help you. You might need to go outside to complete this.

Standing several feet away from the helper, toss a bean bag or soft squishy ball back and forth. After a few throws, blindfold the person helping you, take a few steps away from them, and then pull a blindfold over your own eyes. Now try tossing the bean bag back and forth again. Talk about what senses you had to use when your eyes were covered and what was harder to do when you couldn’t see. How many more times did you catch the bean bag with your eyes open than when you had the blindfold on?

You could also try rolling a ball back and forth, with you and your helper sitting on the floor. If you only cover one eye, instead of using the blindfold, how hard is it to roll the ball to your helper? Our eyes work together, so it is much harder if one of them is covered up.

Write a few sentences about your experiment.

What did you do?

How did you do it?

How did it feel when you were blindfolded?

What would you do differently next time?

Well-being activities

English

Keep a diary of your time at home.

Write a few sentences each day about what you have done. What was your favourite thing to do that day? What would you like to do tomorrow?

Remember: Capital Letters, Full Stops and finger spaces.

You can also complete this on Purple Mash

Maths

Go out into your garden or look out of your window and count all the different creatures/animals or birds that you see.

Create a tally chart, bar graph or pictogram of what you found.

Write a few sentences about what you have found out.

Multiples of 2 - odd and even. Help mum and dad sort out all the family's socks. Can you group them according to colour, and work out how many pairs you made? Were there any left over? In my house there are always two or three socks without their partners... we even have a 'lonely sock' basket, so when we finally find the lost sock's partner, we put both together again. 

For example:

8 black socks - 4 pairs - so 8 is even.

5 white socks - 2 pairs and 1 left over - so 5 is odd.

Please record in your Home Learning book what you've done. Here's an example!

Science

Here are some fun science experiments you could try at home. Write a prediction sentence about what you think will happen for the experiment you choose. Take some photos of your experiments as you create them and test them.

Write a few sentences about your experiment, did it work? What did you find out?

• Does an orange float or sink?

Does an orange float or sink when placed in water? Seems like a fairly straight forward question, but is it? 

What you'll need:

• An orange
• A deep bowl or container
• Water

Instructions:

1. Fill the bowl with water.
2. Put the orange in the water and watch what happens.
3. Peel the rind from the orange and try the experiment again, what happens this time?

• Design and test a parachute

Design one that can fall slowly to the ground before putting it to the test, making modifications as you go.

What you'll need:

• A plastic bag or light material
• Scissors
• String
• A small object to act as the weight, a little action figure would be perfect

Instructions:

1. Cut out a large square from your plastic bag or material.
2. Trim the edges so it looks like an octagon (an eight sided shape).
3. Cut a small whole near the edge of each side.
4. Attach 8 pieces of string of the same length to each of the holes.
5. Tie the pieces of string to the object you are using as a weight.
6. Use a chair or find a high spot to drop your parachute and test how well it worked, remember that you want it to drop as slow as possible.

• Mixing oil and water

Some things just don't get along well with each other. Take oil and water as an example, you can mix them together and shake as hard as you like but they'll never become friends.....or will they? Take this fun experiment a step further and find out how bringing oil and water together can help you do your dishes.

What you'll need:

• Small soft drink bottle
• Water
• Food colouring
• 2 tablespoons of cooking oil
• Dish washing liquid or detergent

Instructions:

1. Add a few drops of food colouring to the water.
2. Pour about 2 tablespoons of the coloured water along with the 2 tablespoons of cooking oil into the small soft drink bottle.
3. Screw the lid on tight and shake the bottle as hard as you can.
4. Put the bottle back down and have a look, it may have seemed as though the liquids were mixing together but the oil will float back to the top.
