Welcome to Year 2

Self- isolation and school closure

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. 

Maths 

Play snakes and ladders - adding the amounts on two dice. Play pairs with playing cards. Play clock patience. 

Money - identify coins in a purse, find different ways of creating an amount eg 20p, 50p £1. Count the value of the coins. Make a shop and practise giving change.

Telling the time - o'clock, half past, quarter to and quarter past, five minute intervals past the hour and five minute intervals to the hour.

We will put some Maths booklets on this site that you can print out or the children can copy activities from.

Hello Year 2. How are you? Email us and let us know! We wanted to provide lots of ideas to keep you busy but please do not feel overwhelmed. They are just suggestions.  We have added an outdoor learning website today so if you can safely get outside take the opportunity while the weather is nice.

The webpage will keep  changing  with new websites and activities, so do scroll through the whole page to see what's new. In the meantime, do take care of yourselves. Try to appreciate all the little things you have to be thankful for. 

Mrs Bingle is grateful for the lovely sunshine and the flowers starting to appear in her garden. Mrs Booth is thankful for the entertainment her three cats are providing as they play in the sunshine.

Take care!!

Learning Times Tables

Visit Times Tables Rock Stars -https://ttrockstars.com/

You will need the school postcode to login - GU4 7LZ

You will also need your individual log in which is stuck in  home learning book.

We have set 2x,5x,10x and 3x tables for you to practise.

Reading

How to support your child  with reading  child 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)

Maths

Every week your child will bring home an Arithmetic activity to work on during the week. Arithmetic activities will gradually build to include all four operations and fractions. They will provide opportunities for the children to regularly practice work covered in class.

 Please also help your child learn (by heart) counting in 2s, 5s, 10s and 3s, forwards and backwards and then move on to learning the 2, 5 and 10 times tables. 

 Please  help your child to learn how to tell the time (half past, quarter to/past and using five minute intervals).

Useful websites

 We use a variety of websites in school. If you would like ideas to try out and games to play on your computer at home then visit:
