Good morning Year 2- I hope you are all safe and well.

This time last year I was celebrating my wedding day. It was a fantastic day that really made me happy. For your Literacy this week, can you think of a day that really made you happy and write a recount all about it. Remember to write it in time order and add in all the extra detail that informs your reader. Don’t forget you can send these in to the school office so I can read them 🙂

Good morning Year 2!

I hope you have had a lovely weekend in the sunshine. I celebrated my birthday on Saturday and it was lovely in the sunshine.

Your photograph collage has made me smile this morning. Hopefully not much longer until we can be back in class.

This weeks home learning:

Numeracy:

Let’s look at time. Can you recall how many seconds in a minute/minutes in a hour/days in a week/ months in a year/ hours in a day etc.

Can you tell the time at different parts of the day. Could you write sentences to show what you do at different times of the day?

Literacy:

What is a super hero? Can you write about a super hero and tell me all about them? It could be someone who you know, someone famous or it could be a imaginary character. You could research them and draw them. Tell me why they are a super hero and what they do.

Reading:

This week can you focus on expression? When you are reading can you change your voice to suit the characters?

Good Morning Year 2

I hope you have all had a good weekend. Here is some home learning ideas for this week:

Literacy:

Can you write a newspaper report all about the change in everyday life in the last 6 weeks?You could do some role play and interview your family members to see how it has affected them and how they feel about it all. When you write up your report-remember to use your features: Title, heading, photo, caption, 5 W’s, more information. Can you think of a headline that will make your reader want to read your report?

Numeracy:

Think about 2D and 3D shapes. Can you recognise any in your environment? When you spot them can you draw them and describe their properties? Could your adult give you clues for you to guess the shapes?

Reading:

Whilst reading your favourite reading book, can you identify the adjectives? Make a list of these and then have a go at writing them in your own sentences.

Science:

What can you find out about Dunlop, Mackintosh and MacAdam and the materials they developed? Present this in any way you like. 

Don’t forget to send your learning into the school office 🙂

See you soon,

Mrs Haynes

Home Learning: Week commencing 27.4.20

Numeracy-Can you add and subtract 2 two digit numbers? We focused on this quigte a lot in class and looked at the methods whilst we did our 5 a day. Can you remember which methods to use? Choose 2 two digit numbers (or you could ask an adult to write you some out) and have a go at adding and subtracting them.

Literacy-Can you plan and write a story that begins with the opener ‘I was walking along when suddenly I fell down a hole…a big, dark hole!’ Remember to engage the reader and think about your beginning, middle and end. I can’t wait to read them.

Science-While you are out and about, have a look at all the living things around you. Can you see any new life? Choose a living thing and create a life cycle for it. You can present this in anyway you like.

Reading-Choose a book to read and answer these questions…What is the book about? Who are the characters? What was the problem in the story? How was it resolved? How was the main character feeling throughout the story? Why is this?

Hope you are all safe and well Year 2.

See you soon,

Mrs Haynes

Home Learning!

Here are some ideas to have a go at this week, Year 2!

Literacy-Can you write a diary entry of what you think you will do once this lock down is over? Think about what you will do, where you will go and who you will see. How do you think you will feel? Do you think you’ll be grateful for anything? I look forward to reading them.

Maths-Have a look at money. Can you recognise all the coins? What coins make up different totals? If you went to the shop to buy different items-can you work out how much change you will receive?

Reading-Can you find a poem to learn and recite? Could you add actions and expression? You could practice this and perform it for your family. Could you record this and send it to other family members to make them smile 🙂

Science-Have a look at the different objects in your home-what are they made from? Why do you think they are made from this material and not another one? What are the material’s properties?

Remember any home learning that you have been doing, you can send in to our school office 🙂

See you soon Year 2

I hope you have all had a lovely Easter. Did you get up to anything nice? Myself, Narla and Mr Haynes have been on lots of walks to make most of the sunshine.

I have just added a few links on our school website that you can follow to take part in some lessons. Do you need anything else? There are a lot of lessons of all different areas for you to be having a look at on there.

I enjoyed our phone calls last week and loved that you have been busy baking and washing cars etc. What other skills have you been learning and practicing at home?

Some mummies asked for some SATs papers too so I have added a link on our school website that takes you to all of our past papers.

If you need anything else, just let me know.

Thank you

It was lovely catching up with you all on Thursday, year 2. Not to worry if you weren’t in-I will ring again in the next couple of weeks to catch up again.

I miss you all and I have everything crossed that we can go back to school before September to finish off Year 2.

I hope you have a lovely Easter weekend in the sunshine and enjoy lots of Easter eggs.

Speak soon

Mrs Haynes xxxx

Good morning Year 2!

I hope you are all well and keeping safe. I am missing you all. Everything seems pretty surreal at the minute doesn’t it? But it won’t be long until we are back at school and have our routine back. Hope you are all enjoying you’re learning-don’t forget to have lots of fun on the way.

I have taken Narla on a long walk this morning and about to do some baking. What have you been up to?

See you all soon
