Online Safety During Lockdown

Posted on May 26, 2020 by Mr J. Craig • 0 Comments

During our home learning we are all using the Internet a great deal more. We are all enjoying the benefits it offers by keeping in touch with loved ones, accessing learning at home, sharing experiences and discovering new opportunities. With this in mind, I would like to remind all of our community members (pupils, parents, carers) how we can keep ourselves safe while working and playing online.

For pupils: I would like to remind you of our school E-Safety rules and how these can keep you safe.

Year 2 Home Learning – Friday 22nd May

Posted on May 21, 2020 by Mrs L Gourley • 0 Comments

Happy Friday Year 2!

For your learning tasks today we will have a focus on 2D shapes. Remember 2D shapes are flat shapes.

Before you look at any of the information, set yourself a challenge … How many 2D shapes can you remember ? Do you remember any of their properties? How many sides do they have? How many vertices?

For your first shape task I’d like you to go on a shape hunt. When you go out for your daily walk (with an adult) I’d like you to investigate how many different 2D shapes you see? I’d like you to record these as a tally and frequency chart and then when you get home you can create a bar chart to show how many shapes you spotted.

2D SHAPES revision SHAPE HUNT 22.05

Then I’d like you to be creative with 2D shapes and I’d like you to try to draw some different pictures using just 2D shapes.

Within this task, I’ve set you a challenge! Linked to our Erasmus flight topic I’d like you to have a go at creating an aircraft picture either an aeroplane or a helicopter using just 2D shapes. Give it a go!

2D shape pictures

Have lots of fun and be creative!

Have a wonderful half term holiday. Your home learning tasks will begin again on Monday 1st June.

Take care and keep safe!

Mrs Gourley 🙂

Finally as an extra challenge … How many squares can you spot?
