Ash – Year 2

Welcome to Ash Class page

Snow days home learning

Here are some activities to carry out at home whilst we are still snowed in. You don't need to do all of them, choose three or more to complete.

• Read a snowy book. If it is a fiction book, do a storyboard like the ones we have done in class to sequence the main events. If it is non fiction, record some interesting facts using writing and pictures.

• Write a snow poem. This could be an acrostic or any type of poem you prefer. Think about how the snow looks, feels, sounds. Remember to use capital letters to start each sentence!!

• Create a snow picture of your garden or nearby place.

• Design an investigation with snow. You could maybe test materials to see which would make the best coat for a snowman. Make a mini snowman, bring it indoors and find out which of some different materials keeps  it from melting for the longest, (e.g. foil, wool, cardboard, paper). Record how you do this and what happens. Remember to think about how to keep it fair.
•  

• Practise the 2.5.10 times tables so that you can recall them really quickly. Why not challenge your adults?! You could teach them how to play  bang, bang as  we play in class. If you are getting quick at the 2's, 5's and 10's, try the 3's.

• You can use these websites too: www.topmarks.co.uk,   http://www.maths-games.org/times-tables-games.html

•   Look at a map of the UK. Find out where Cliffe is. How far is it from London? How do they look different? What physical, (natural) and human, (man made), features can you see?
•  

Have fun in the snow and stay safe.

PE

Our PE days for term are Monday and Thursday. Please could you ensure that children do not wear earrings on those days unless they are able to remove them independently.

I will update this page regularly with notices as well as news and photographs of the children's activities. I hope you find it useful and enjoyable.
