We will have the opportunity to meet via zoom each day and the lessons will be available here.
Although you can see more than one day's lessons, these may change as we progress with our learning. Please concentrate on the day we are on or previous date.
We aim to base our learning on our curriculum driver: Why is Earl Shilton important?]]> 2021-01-13 10:58:51 UTC https://padlet.com/year2Townlands/wd1rkai7bub7vs3v/wish/1082460611 Sharing work with your teacher year2Townlands https://padlet.com/year2Townlands/wd1rkai7bub7vs3v/wish/1082461395 When you have completed your learning.  Please can you email your work to your class teacher.

Your child has an Accelerated Reader login so when they have finished reading a book, they can search for a quiz about the book, to practise their comprehension skills. If they successfully pass the quiz, some books also have a vocabulary quiz, which will appear on the screen. The children are familiar with completing these in school.
Follow this link and click on the orange Accelerated Reader icon.

Children can find regulating their emotions independently quite challenging, therefore we have gathered some ideas to support their mental health as well as teaching them how they can regulate their feelings, thoughts and anxieties. 

Let's keep our brains and minds healthy!]]> 2021-01-13 11:03:01 UTC https://padlet.com/year2Townlands/wd1rkai7bub7vs3v/wish/1082471606 Breathing techniques year2Townlands https://padlet.com/year2Townlands/wd1rkai7bub7vs3v/wish/1082472105 Sometimes, when we feel anxious, scared, angry or overwhelmed with a range of emotions our bodies make us react. Sometimes it can be difficult to know how to calm ourselves down and focus on other things. 

Attached below, are some breathing technique cards that can help us focus on our breathing which supports our calmness. Focusing on breathing can distract you from the overwhelming emotions you may feel or allow you to simply focus. ]]> 2021-01-13 11:03:09 UTC https://padlet.com/year2Townlands/wd1rkai7bub7vs3v/wish/1082472105 Mindfullness meditation year2Townlands https://padlet.com/year2Townlands/wd1rkai7bub7vs3v/wish/1082472432 Having time to focus on our minds keeps our minds and brains happy an healthy. Meditation can provide an opportunity for this. During meditation our mind can empty our thoughts in a calm and relaxing environment. ]]> 2021-01-13 11:03:17 UTC https://padlet.com/year2Townlands/wd1rkai7bub7vs3v/wish/1082472432 Feelings year2Townlands https://padlet.com/year2Townlands/wd1rkai7bub7vs3v/wish/1082472795 It can be challenging to express or explain which type of emotion you may be feeling. By identifying the emotions that we are feeling, this can support our expression of these emotions. 

Here is a range of feelings and pictures to help you describe and register your emotions. ]]> 2021-01-13 11:03:26 UTC https://padlet.com/year2Townlands/wd1rkai7bub7vs3v/wish/1082472795 Growth mindset year2Townlands https://padlet.com/year2Townlands/wd1rkai7bub7vs3v/wish/1082473156 It can be easy to think about all the things we can't yet do. However, with a growth mindset anything is possible. Think about all of the positives in your learning and how you can overcome a challenge. 

Growth mindset involves a few of our characteristics of learning:
perseverance
risk-taking
confidence
problem-solving
self-esteem. 

Here are some affirmations to support your mindset when learning.

 For example, light is a symbol of hope in Judaism. 
 Rainbows are a sign of hope that something good will happen. 
 Hope is a feeling that things will be okay with positive thoughts. 
Can you add your symbol of hope to your mural, maybe the symbol can be drawn/painted onto a separate piece of paper and then stuck on top to give your mural some texture. See the example attached.
