Home Learning - Monday 30th March, Tuesday 31st March and Wednesday 1st April.


Home Learning week beginning  30th March


Hello Year 2!


We are missing you all lots and hope you and your families are keeping safe. We would love you to tell us about the work you are doing at home on here by posting in the comments section. In this post we have set work for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday next week as your Easter holidays start on Thursday. In an earlier post below we have given you some ideas of things to practise over the Easter holidays if you would like to do them too but you don’t have to. We will update the blog again with work ready for the first Monday back after the Easter holidays.

Have a lovely weekend

English
Your English home learning activities are to:
1. Use  your non chronological report plan that you made to have a go at writing your report about your minibeast. Think carefully about capital letters, full stops, accurate spellings and best handwriting. 

2. When you have finished you can edit your writing, if you want to use a green pen or a different colour like we do in class you can. Try and make sure every sentence has a capital letter and full stop and Year 1 and 2 words are spelt correctly. See the link below for these.
3. Use the cursive handwriting sheet to practise 10 of the spelling words. This will help you practise your handwriting and your spellings. If you are in Mrs Whitlock, Mrs Weston and Mrs Longcroft’s phonics groups concentrate on Year 1 and 2 words. If you are in Mrs Brooks and Miss Shipp’s group you might want to try some of the Year 3 and 4 words.

Try and do some reading either a school or home book and make a note of what you have read and have a go at an Education City activity. Don't forget you can log into Bug Club too.

Topic
In class this would have been our last few days on our  ‘Wriggle and Crawl’ topic

Your topic home learning activity is to complete the Science activity below

1)     In Science we were going to learn about animals and their young.

Can you watch this video? https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/z8x76sg  


Can you think of 8 animals, draw a picture of them and find out the name of their young? I wonder if you can find any unusual ones to teach the rest of us! Please add a comment below!
You could sort your animals into egg born animals and animals born alive.


We hope you enjoy doing these activities. Remember to look at all the online activities and games too.

25.09.20 weekly blog

Dear Parents, We've had a lovely week, despite the rain. On Monday we had an exciting 'Wow Day' to launch our new topic - Muck, Mess and Mixtures. We've also been making Egg box dragons, as they connect with the book we our using in our English lessons. We reminded ouselves what nouns and adjectivees are and we learnt about noun phrases and how to use a comma. In maths, we learnt how to partition numbers in a fun way: Chips and Peas, (tens and ones). Next week, year 2 will be on the grass at platime and so will be needing wellies please. This half term there will be no homework for any of the children at our school but the children will be bringing home reading books weekly. Please try to read their book with them every night, as this helps to improve their reading fluency. The school will not be writing in their reading record books from now on, (due to covid) but we will collect them in periodically. Please keep writing in them regularly though if possibl...

Weekly news 25.1.19

This week, in year 2, we have been continuing our time work by solving time problems, for example: ‘Tom left the castle at half past 2. It took him an hour and a half to walk home. What time did he get home?” We also played a pairs game to help us remember how many minutes are in an hour, hours in a day, days in a week, etc. At the end of the week we looked at number patterns, worked out the rule, and applied it to continue the sequence. In English we made a map to show the princess’ journey from the palace to the castle. Children worked in pairs to create maps showing the Norwegian features, such a ‘thickly needled pine forest’, ‘frozen lakes’ and ‘bride-white snow’. They then used these maps to help them write a set directions using adjectives, similes and alliteration. In topic we have looked at how animals are adapted to cold climates and had a go at designing our own animal with winter features. We also looked at towers from around the world and located these on a world map....
