We are continuing with our oceans topic but thought you might need some new activities to help answer our key questions.

Let’s think about those questions again!

 

·        What is an ocean?

·        What lives in the ocean?

·        Why are oceans important to us?

·        How can we protect oceans?

Geography

In Year 2, we think about our national geographical awareness. At the beginning of Year 2 we learnt about the countries in the UK and their capital cities. Now it’s time to think about the surrounding seas!

·       Can you list the countries in the UK and draw the flag of each country?

·       Can you research a capital city in the UK and explain 5 facts about it?

·       Can you label a map of the UK with its capital cities and seas?

History

We have already learnt about one famous explorer, time to think about what humans use the oceans for?

·       Can you research how the seas around the UK were used in the past?

·       Can you create a table comparing the how humans used oceans in the past compared to the present?

·       Can you research another explore who sailed on the ocean and find the similarities to Christopher Columbus?

D.T

·       You could design and plan you own boat!

·       Try making it out of resources you have at home.

·       Test your boat to see if it floats in the bath or a sink.

  

PSHCE

On the 8^th of June it will be Ocean Day 2020.

 

You could…

·       Design a poster to advertise Ocean day.

·       Think and talk about why we need to protect the ocean.

·       Make up your very own play about an animal in the ocean that needs our help and how they were saved!

·       Look at water safety rules and create a PowerPoint to explain these to someone younger than you.

·       Create a fact file to explain how water sports can keep us healthy.

Remember you can send us pictures of your learning to year2@hilltop.doncaster.sch.uk

We look forward to seeing your learning!
