Zoom Lessons

Your child will be invited to take part in a Zoom online lesson each week with their class teacher and the rest of their class. You will receive an invitation to this lesson via email the day before the lesson and a reminder via text 1 hour before the lesson is due to take place. Below is a link to the Online Safety section of the school website where you will be able to access a helpful how to guide and a video to help you access zoom. This link will also take you to our Zoom Acceptable Use Agreement, Remote Learning Policy and a copy of the consent form that you will be sent via a survey.

Whilst we are not at school work will be posted each Monday morning. If you have any questions regarding the tasks set, please email your child's class teacher using the following email year2@st-pauls.lancs.sch.uk  Teachers will endeavour to reply to every parent as soon as possible. These are unprecedented times so please continue to be patient if we are unable to respond immediately to any questions about home learning activities set.  It is very important that you contact your class teacher at least once a week by Thursday morning to let them know you are OK and how your child is coping with the work set.

Science

This week in science we will be looking at ‘natural’ and ‘man made’ objects.

• Explore the properties of a range of natural and manmade objects including observing any similarities and differences between the two groups.
• Describe the textures and appearance of the different items.
• Explore the texture and various properties by using them to print with paint.
• Display the artwork represent materials and their properties.

Activity

Make a repeating patterns (manmade, natural, manmade, natural, etc.) and designs on the paper by printing paint using some objects from the manmade group and some from the natural group. As they do so, encourage them to talk about the different effects the objects make with the paint. Ask them if they notice any difference in printing between manmade and natural objects. Allow them to be free with their designs but if you need the paintings to be small, the chn will need to use small objects to print (the end of a twig, a tiny piece of sponge, a screw, etc.)

Create two different sketches of a modern day seaside and a Victorian seaside. Remember to include the different features you have found out about over the last few weeks.

Challenge:  Label the different features to show the differences in both your sketches.

Science

This week in science we will discuss waterproof materials and their uses.

Write 'Waterproof materials' on your paper. Explain that, if a material does not absorb water, it is said to be waterproof.

Explain that you like to read books in the park but worry that they can get wet in the rain. Ask them if they could make a cover for your book. Give them time to explore making paper waterproof with wax crayons.  The Nikwax weblink gives instructions about how to make a waterproof book cover.

http://www.nikwax.com/usblog/make-a-waterproof-brown-paper-bag-book-cover-with-nikwax/

Challenge your child to tell you as many uses of waterproof material as they can think of in 2 mins (raincoat, walking boots, cloth beach bags, phone cases, etc.). Challenge them by asking them to describe a material as permeable (it lets liquids through) or as impermeable (it doesn’t let liquids through)!

Play odd one out: show four materials, e.g. wood, water, brick and slate. The children gain a point for every material they suggest is the odd one out as long as it relates to the properties of the materials, e.g. The odd one out is water because it is transparent or the odd one out is slate because it is waterproof.

RE

This week in RE, I would like you to come up with a creative prayer for our school garden. Be as creative as you can and decorate your prayer. Share your finished prayer with Miss Patel.
