Tasks for week beginning 27.4.20
Our new topic for the next few weeks is called ‘Movers and Shakers’ all about significant people who have made a difference in our world. We hope you will find this new history based topic fascinating.
Week’s Projects
History: Factfile-A significant person to me. Choose a person from your family or friends who is a significant person to you. Think about what makes them special. May be you are lucky enough to have more than one! Create a factfile all about them using these sub-headings:
Name
Place of birth
What big changes did they make in their lifetime?
How did they make lots of people’s lives better or worse?
How did they change the way people think?
How are their ideas still used today?
What did they do that made them a very good or a very bad role model?
Art: A significant portrait. Create a portrait of the person who is significant to you. How you represent them is up to you-may be using felt-tip pens, paint or using paper collage. Remember to observe carefully and add each detail so everyone recognises them.
Design technology: A significant artefact. Recreate any object that is linked to your significant person using recycled materials or different art materials. The object may be something they wear, something they use or have. It may be grandma who took you exploring in the woods and taught you about wild animals, so you recreate the squirrel you saw or even grandma’s favourite, old walking boots. May be it’s dad who showed you how to cook, so you can recreate the oven or the mixer you used.
PE: 10 minute shake up. Go to www.nhs.co.uk/10-minute-shake-up. Here you’ll be able to choose a new activity each day or may be a favourite that we tried in Autumn. Have fun and share your favourites on Dojo! If you’ve been active with your family you might not need a shake up some days.
Spelling: Red words Aim to learn at least 5 new words from the Red Words Chart (see your Spelling Log Book page 38). Circle every word you’ve learnt to spell from memory this week. Can you challenge yourself and write them in sentences too?
Times tables: TTRockstars Go to www.ttrockstars.co.uk and practise your facts. Send me a message on Dojo if you are ready for the next times table.
Daily Literacy and Maths
Your Writing focus this week is from Hamilton Trust and is all about nouns, adjectives, adverbs and poetry. Below are the teacher notes for this week and some presentations that you may be asked to look at.
Reading Dawson’s model is a set of five statements that help historians to decide if a person is historically significant. Read the five statements here: Dawson’s Model
Click on the link below to find information about significant people. Spend the week reading about these people (see below for guidance on which people to read about each day) and use the Dawson’s model checklist underneath the information to check whether you think the person is significant.

Hi Y2B 🙂
I hope you’re enjoying time with your family. Try to keep your brilliant brain busy with some of the jobs I’ve sent you. Check out the website’s News page for some special awards for Y2B.
Be good (as always) and I hope to be in touch again soon!
Mrs Brock x
A pack of work has been provided for every child due to the impact of Coronavirus.
We hope the range of worksheets in this pack will allow your child to engaged in a Reading, Writing and Maths activities as they would in a normal school day. In addition, the projects suggested based on ‘Muck, Mess and Mixtures’ and online games set on ‘Active Learn Primary’ and ‘TTRockstars’ will hopefully be enjoyable ways to supplement the worksheets provided. All tasks are intended to practise the skills relevant to the curriculum for your child’s year group.
We would anticipate children only attempt these tasks when well and only complete a few each day dependent on your individual family’s circumstances. Further ideas are provided below, including more suggestions for online learning opportunities.
Reading activities
Set 1 Speed Sounds- 9.30am and again at 12.30pm
Set 2 Speed Sounds- 10.00am and again at 1.00pm
Set 3 Speed Sounds- 10.30am and again at 1.30pm.
I would recommend accessing the Set 3 speed sounds sessions. Set 2 would be good revision for a few children.
They are also releasing a film of a poem to join in with at 2.00pm every day. These poems will be available on YouTube to watch again and again, so is a great opportunity to learn some poetry by heart.
Writing Activities
Over the next few weeks, it would be nice for your children to do some writing tasks. Please see some ideas below of pieces they might create:
-Write a letter to a grandparent who your children might not be able to see at the moment, telling them what activities they have been doing.
– Write some diary entries about what they are doing and what is happening- this will be a pivotal moment in history, so children might like to look back on some of these memories when they are older.
– Create a ‘time capsule’ for children to look back on when they are older. In the capsule, they could do an ‘about me’ page, listing what their favourite things are, their goals and dreams, a picture of their family as they are now, pet pictures, local newspaper clippings, fun family memories, programmes on telly they might be watching, pieces of work they are proud of, footprints, handprints and anything else they can think of!
-Spring poetry- Let children use their senses to create a poem about Spring. Encourage them to look at what they can see, hear, smell, taste and feel.
– Write a persuasive letter to other children, telling them why it is still important to do some school work while they’re off school. Think of two reasons and write a paragraph on each.
– If you create anything at home with your children, ask them to write a recipe or instructions on how to make it.
Maths activities
To support further learning in Maths the following website is highly recommended as it includes a daily lesson, including a video clip that models the task, as well a follow-up activity for children. Join the #Maths Party at 10am at https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-2/
Educational games are also available to practise a range of relevant skills relating to calculations, shapes and measuring at www.activelearnprimary.co.uk, using your child’s usual log in to access personalised activities.
Times tables can also be practised using your child’s usual log in details at www.ttrockstars.co.uk. NEW TTRockstars user name: firstname.initial of last name, password: password. Join the TTRockstars Battle by representing Team Flanderwell against St. Alban’s children.
Don’t forget to have fun with some everyday maths at home such as:
Weighing ingredients or measuring liquids for cooking and baking, or chopping food into halves, quarters or thirds
Investigating the longest and shortest object-measuring length of objects in the house or garden, using a tape measure, ruler or hand spans
Practising multiplication and division by using everyday objects to make arrays (3×5 arranged as 3 rows of toy cars with 5 in each row) or share into groups, as well as counting on and back in steps of 1, 2, 5 and 10.
Telling the time at intervals throughout the day, counting how long until…in 5 minute intervals on a clock face, or timing how many times you can…(star jump, write your name, run to the garden gate, etc) in one minute-be as creative as you like!
Keep active
To keep regular exercise happening, Joe Wicks is releasing a free thirty minute PE session at 9.00am every morning on YouTube. Lots of children also love Just Dance and Go Noodle, available free through YouTube. On those sunny days of course enjoy an hour exploring outdoors with your family.
