Art-lesson 1: (Use PowerPoint for reference)
Week 1 Art Lesson 1 Powerpoint
- Introduce art project “Re-born”
- Online research to answer 3 questions about plastic pollution.
- What is plastic pollution?
- What is plastic pollution doing to our planet?
- What can we do to try and stop plastic pollution?
- Discuss answers on slides.
- Introduce artists “Richard and Judith Lang.”, look through their work and answer questions (answers on next slide of every question).
Complete plenary quiz.
Maths:
- Which is the hour hand?
- Which is the minute hand?
- What is the difference between the hour hand and the minute hand?
- How many numbers are there on a clock face?
Let’s recap our learning from Year 1 about o’clock:
– When the minute hand is pointing at the 12 we know it is an o’clock time.
– We look at the hour hand to see which number it is pointing at. This tells us the hour.
The time on the clock above is
1 o’clock.
Let’s recap our learning from Year 1 about half past:
– When the minute hand is pointing at the 6 we know it is a half past time. It tells us that the minute hand has gone halfway around the clock and halfway past the hour.
– We look at the hour hand to see which number it has gone past.
The time on the clock above is half past 2.
Now it’s time to apply! Write down the o’clock or half past time that each clock is showing below.
Task: PE:
