Good Morning Class 2,
I trust you are all well and keeping warm and safe.
Below are some learning activities for today.
English
| Learning Objective/Focus: | Word work- Homonyms. Handwriting | |
| Main input | Collect Homonyms- words spelt the same but have a different meaning; bark, wave are examples. | |
| Activities MUST | List 10 words and write both their meanings. E.g rock ( move gently and a large pebble). | |
| SHOULD | Use neat, joined handwriting. Practice writing the words or joining patterns you find challenging using different colours (rainbow writing). | |
| COULD | Describe the words in a riddle. Eg (bark) What is the noise of a dog and the outer layer of a tree? | |
| Extension Activity Ideas | Test the riddles out on someone in your family- make them tricky! You could draw pictures as clues eg. A hand in the sea ( wave). See how creative you can be! |
Maths
| Learning Objective/Focus: | Locate and identify 3D shapes | |
| Main input | Find and list objects that are cuboids, spheres, cylinders, cubes and so on. The kitchen is a good place to start. | |
| Activities MUST | Look at and name the faces of these shapes. Find a cereal box and take it apart to find its net (the flat shape that is stuck together to make the box) | |
| SHOULD | Try to fit the net back together so that the box is inside out ( all pictures on the inside). Once re assembled you could decorate the outside to make a house. Find some card to add on a roof and chimney. Draw on windows, front door and so on. | |
| COULD | Make a street of different sized buildings all out of re-assembled boxes or your own nets. | |
| Extension Activity Ideas | Add other features- like a garage, a play area ( all out of different packaging- A Dairylea cheese box would be good for a pond, roundabout?? |
