Friday 22.5.20

Happy Friday everyone!

It is the end of Summer Term 1! Can you believe it? I can’t. Even though we have been in lockdown, it has still gone pretty quickly. I am looking forward to receiving your presentations today of all the fabulous work you have been doing over the last 5 weeks! You should be so proud of yourselves!! J

Challenge: For today, I would like you to rewind your memories back to when we learnt how to make paper aeroplanes at school and tested how far they could fly. Can you design your own paper aeroplane? Think about how to make it streamline so that it can fly further!

Have a brilliant last day of term! Remember to send me your work! J

Good morning! How hot was it yesterday?!

It is nearly the weekend! It is meant to be lovely and warm! Remember to put on your sun cream and sun hats and drink lots of water!

Challenge: Seeing as most of you have been taking part in Joe Wick PE sessions each day, I thought it would be a good idea for you to make a fitness routine and put your family through their paces. It can include any exercises you like. Think of all the skills you have learnt in PE at school.

I hope you have a fabulous day!

I hope you enjoyed making playdough. I love making homemade playdough, but it doesn’t always turn out like it should! Today’s challenge involves exercise! But don’t sweat it – it’s a great activity.

Challenge: As most of you enjoyed the Pokémon yoga, I thought why not do another one? This time it is a Trolls yoga. Follow the link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9Q6FKF12Qs

Happy hump day! (It’s the middle of the school week)

WOW, WOW, WOW – how amazing were your towers and shadow drawings? Some of them were so tall and looked so strong!! You are so creative! Today’s challenge involves a little mess!

Challenge: Make your own soft dough for model making using the following method. Mix 8 tbsp plain flour with 2 tbsp table salt. Add 60ml warm water, food colouring and 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Mix everything together carefully and start modelling.

Dzień Dobry (good morning in Polish)

Week 4 of the Summer term already!! I forgot to mention yesterday -  It was so lovely to see what some of you had created for VE day – such a special day to remember. Today’s challenge needs the sunshine, but can be done with a torch.

Challenge: Shadow Play - Place a toy on paper or card in a sunny spot. Draw around your toy’s shadow at different times of the day. Label the time on each drawing. Investigate and record what happens to the shape, position and size of the shadow over time. If the sun doesn’t come out, use a torch and put it at different angles to see if the shadow looks the same or is different.

Remember to send me your challenges! :)

Hi Year 2!

I hope that you are enjoying the work this week so far! I have really enjoyed seeing all your learning to our new Brazil topic! Keep the pictures and videos coming :)

It's been very wet and rainy here last night. So I cannot paint anymore of the fence! I wonder when you go on your daily walk, could you do a nature hunt and then make a collage at home? Make sure you wear your wellies and water proofs though! 

Mrs G-H

Good evening... I have  a special message for you from Mrs Allan.... 

Hi everyone - I hope you are able to login to and use charanga! If you have any issues send me an email dinah.allan@tealby.lincs.sch.uk

And I can help you get started! For those of you that have been on already, well done I can see the time you have spent completing your tasks. 

I have recently added a folder which contains some singing assembly songs. After you have logged in, go to assignments and you should see the singing assembly songs. Most of them you will know however there are 2 that you don't know so have a go at learning them and we can look at them when we return to school. 😊 stay safe, 
Mrs Allan
