Home learning (week beginning 29/06/2020)

29/6/2020

 
Hello Year Two! I hope everyone is keeping well. As we move into the month of July, I would like to start this weeks blog with a new quote of the month...
Picture
Between the pages of a book really is a lovely place to be! Not only now, but as we move into the summer months I would like to encourage all of you to continue reading. Challenge yourself to read a genre you wouldn't usually! That may be an adventure book, a fairy tale, a scary story or a non fiction science book! 
​
I recently read 'Little Red Riding Duck' - a traditional tale with a bit of a twist! Try to find it on MyON by using the search bar and hopefully you'll enjoy it as much as I did! 
WORD HUNT
​
The word hunt is back! Can you find all 6 words hidden in this picture? 👀 
​
As always, last weeks brain teaser answer will be at the bottom of the blog.

How many tens and ones? Is it odd or even? Can you split 46 in half? Can you double it? What does 46 look like written as a word?

LAST WEEKS BRAIN TEASER: ANSWER
Who attempted to answer last weeks brain teaser? Here it is again... ​How many times does the number FIVE occur between the numbers 1-100? 
Picture
And the answer is... 20! 5 appears ten times as the last digit (5, 15, 25 … 95) and ten times as a first digit (50, 51, 52 … 59).
And finally, I would like to share a story with you all. Kira has been busy creating this video and voicing the tale of 'The Sun and the Moon'.  How creative. Well done Kira⭐. I hope everyone enjoys listening to this lovely story... 

Have a wonderful week Year Two!
​
Miss McKenna❤️

Hello everyone! 
To start this weeks blog, I would like to share some of the fabulous work I have received from members of our Year 2 class!
​
Below is a piece of art that Rose has created to represent the creation story. She used various items of clothing and a camping mat to make this masterpiece. How creative! I love all the different shades of blue that create a wave effect. Well done Rose!

Erin and Opal have also been keeping very busy! They both had their science caps on last week as they completed the Y2 investigation into the suitability of a range of materials for a sailing boat. They both made great predictions and concluded that plastic is the best material to make a boat from. Great job girls. Keep up the hard work!

Hello Year Two!​
How are you all? Did you enjoy the space blog?

​Last week I received a fabulous Neil Armstrong poster from Kira! She has included a clear title, lots of interesting facts and labels for her pictures. Great job Kira⭐

If you have any work that you would like to show me, please email it over to

Reading at home - MyON
Picture
You should all now have your MyON log ins! MyON is our new online library service. Instead of taking a book from our classroom book shelf using your ZPD, you can simply read one at home! I suggest reading a book from the ‘recommended’ section of the library page as these will suit your ZPD, but do explore the webpage! There are new books added regularly and I encourage you to read a mixture of both fiction and non-fiction. 

I can log in to see what books you have read and how much time you have spent reading. I will be giving gold stars on the blog next week for those who are reading daily for 20-30+ minutes! ​⭐⭐⭐
NUMBER OF THE WEEK
What can you tell me about the number... ​
Picture
What is half of 18? Can you use 18 in an addition number sentence? How would it look as an array? What is 1 more? How about 1 less? Can you double it?

When you open Busy Beats, start with an empty beat. It will automatically be recording your sound. Click on one of the ripplers in the middle of the screen. This will allow your sounds to play on repeat. Then start experimenting! Use the sound buttons from the tabs at the top and drag them into place. I suggest using sounds from 'synths' and 'samples'.

If you would like to hear your beat over, simply press the blue square button in the bottom right corner to stop the recording. The green triangle will allow you to play it over! 

The video below will show you how I navigated my way around the app to create my own unique sound! I hope you all have as much fun as I did​😃

And finally, week 6 brain teaser answers... 
Here it is again as a reminder...

Peter's father has five sons. The names of four sons are Fefe, Fifi, Fofo and Fufu. What is the name of the firth son?
Picture

If Peter's father has five children and four of them have already been named above, the fifth son must be Peter himself! Well done to everyone who gave it a go⭐

I hope everyone enjoys space week​?.

Please do email me with any work you have completed. I would love to see it. 

Take care and speak soon Year 2,

Miss McKenna​❤️

Welcome back to the blog Year Two!
How are you all? I do hope that everyone had a lovely half term break. 

As we enter month of June, I have a new quote of the month to share with you all. Whilst it is strange not being able to take books out from our classroom library, I must say how proud I am of everyone for continuing to read books at home or online. If you have not already accessed, the Oxford Owl eBook library is a fantastic resource with lots of free eBooks from a wide range of genres. You will find the link to the website on the righthand side of this page.

​KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK YEAR TWO! ⭐
Picture
​This quote comes from a famous author named Dr Seuss. Do you recognise that name? Some of you may have read his stories. Here is a link to my favourite Dr Seuss story... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItPdeUnu5UI.

NUMBER OF THE WEEK
What can you tell me about the number... ​
Picture
Can you double it? What is 10 more? How about 10 less? Is it odd or even? What does 9 look like written as a word? Can you multiply 9 by 2? How about 5? 
My secret code... 
Did anyone attempt to crack my secret code over half term? Here it is again as a reminder along with this weeks brain teaser! As always, I will leave the answers to the previous brain teasers at the bottom of this weeks blog.
