home learning

Please find below some suggested activities . Try putting together a daily plan with your child and work together to select from some of these activities. There are ideas for physical activity and well-being so make sure you include some of these. We will continue to add to this page over the coming weeks so please keep checking in.

We recommend the children spend 45 minutes each day on maths activities and 45 minutes on writing activities. They should read for half an hour each day. They could revisit spellings we have already sent home in their home learning books. They can also learn their times tables and have a go at the challenges on the Timestable Rockstars website.

The children can carry out mini research projects. Here is a list of suggested topics

Titanic, Scott of the Antarctic, Neil Armstrong, Christopher Columbus, Blackbeard, Grace O'Malley, Lord Horatio Nelson, Grace Darling, Captain James Cook, St. Lucia, Antarctica and the Arctic, The Caribbean, Burpham, Plants and how they grow, Animal Habitats, Food chains, Life cycles

Writing projects - write a daily diary, write a letter or e-mail to a friend or relative, make a book -non-fiction, write a story, write a desription of what is outside your window.

Reading activities - read a recipe and make it, read something suitable from a newspaper, help an adult with a simple crossword, write a book review, design anew book cover for a favourite book, read to a younger sibling, complete a wordsearch.

This week's timetable to help you plan your learning each day. For the handwriting sessions you can copy out your spellings. In school we have been watching Malory Towers on CBBC during our downtime slot. There are several online exercise sessions you can follow instead of Activate. Take a look at www.phonicsplay.co.uk during the phonics session and practise your sounds using the games. In computing we have had a chance to use Timestable Rockstars or try out the 2code activities on purplemash. We are going to be creating our own circuit training sessions in PE this week. You could use old magazines to make your collage for Art if you don't have any coloured paper.

Reading

How to support your child with reading in Year 2.

Please focus on the following areas when your child reads their school reading book to you. You do not need to comment on each area, every time you read, but focus on a different area each time or comment if appropriate.

Useful comments could be:

Was able to predict what was going to happen next.
Noticed that the story was very similar to a book I have already read.
Explained what had happened in the story so far.
Was able to answer questions which needed reading between the lines (inference)

Focus	What to look for and comment on.
Fluency of Reading	How accurate is the reading. Can the child read aloud words without overt sounding and blending. Can the child sound out unfamiliar words. Can the child check that what they have read makes sense and correct inaccurate readings.
Retelling	Can the child explain what has happened so far in what they have read.
Predicting	Can the child make a plausible prediction about what might happen on the basis of what has been read so far.
Making Links	Can the child make links between the book they are reading and other books they have read.
Answering questions.	Can the child answer simple factual questions about what they have read. Can the child make inferences in order to answer questions.
