YEAR 2 HOME LEARNING WEEK 12

Dear Parents, I am looking forward to seeing you all over the coming weeks, but until then I have a bit more work for you to do. I hope you are enjoying our seaside themed learning. There’s not long left of this term and I’m sure you are all looking forward to the summer holidays. Hopefully we may manage to get away for a little change of scenery. Keep up the good work and don’t forget to email me if you need anything or would like a phone call. Mrs Evans

Research Project - to be completed throughout the week Materials- Bouncy Balls Gather together a number of different balls. Which one do you think will bounce the highest? Establish that the balls are

different shapes and sizes, and that some are made of different types of materials to suit the games for which they are used.

For some games the balls need to be able to bounce, for other games the bounce is less important.

Can you measure how high each ball bounces and to record your results in a table?

Can you create a bar chart of your results on squared paper or a computer?

Answer these questions - What height did you drop each ball from? How high did each ball bounce? How much higher did the

best ball bounce than the worst ball? Are the balls that bounce the highest made from the same material? What do you think

makes the balls bounce higher?

Geography : How do people in Kampong Ayer travel around compared with how people travel around where I live?

Look at pictures 1-10. What do they have in common? Think about how many of these forms of transport you have used in your lifetime? Which ones haven’t you used? Why is that? Which form of transport would they use for the shortest journey and which for the longest? During a typical week how many of these modes of transport would you use to get around? Discuss which type of transport you and your families would typically use for: Travelling to school; going to the local shops; visiting a friend who lives close by; going for tea with an aunt living a mile away; going shopping in a large town or city; travelling on holiday to Florida etc. What sort of transport would people who live in Kampong Ayer use? Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fi6CP-v7JIo How many different forms of transport are people using to get around the village? Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yG2LQ4ogeZc . Look at picture 11 and 12 It is very easy for people to get to the mainland. Whilst Kampong Ayer has many services such as supermarkets, primary schools, police and fire brigade it does not have everything that the people need. In particular, it doesn’t have places for everyone to work (e.g. at company offices) or larger shops (for bigger items such as furniture and televisions) or additional larger services such as banks or sports centres. Just like us people have to travel to where their work is or where the larger shops and services are. Look at picture 13 Syarikat owns a boat building company in Kampong Ayer and he is happy because his order book is full. He can build two boats at a time in his yard and is currently building two boats. Activities: - Imagine that you are a water taxi driver at Kampong Ayer and have got a new boat. Design what the exterior of the hull is going to look like. How will you personalise your boat? The design must include a memorable name and other images and designs that will make their boat stand out. Think about aspects of your own lives that you might want to include in the design such as a particular place name, pictures of their own local area and flags etc. - Create a poster of the different types of transport at Kampong Ayer and label it

Art/DT: See Vimeo Create the background of our picture including the detail. Think about what colours you will use to make your water look interesting. How do we think about whether something looks near or far in the picture?

PSHE Discuss: Think of the different emotions we feel and sketch these on to faces. Have a think about what makes us feel sad. What things do you do to make yourself feel better? Is it o.k. to feel sad? How do we cope with the loss of a pet or a person that we love? How can we cope with loss or change? How do we know if someone is feeling sad? What can we do to make someone feel better? Who could we talk to if we have experienced loss?
