Home learning (week beginning 15/06/2020)

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 [email protected]. 

BRAIN TEASER
This week, your challenge is to spot the Queen amongst all of these cheeky corgis! Don't let the hats and crowns fool you, she's hiding in there somewhere.. 

Reading at home - MyON

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... ​

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? 
​

Weekly spellings
Please do not worry if you cannot print it out, just copy them down onto a piece of paper!

Home learning timetable 
Below is this weeks home learning timetable. You will find all of the relevant links/resources attached
below.

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​😃
