Wednesday 9^th February

Good morning.

We hope you had a great day of learning yesterday. We are now half way through the week and we are very proud of your fabulous learning at home – keep it up. We loved reading your some of your interesting newspaper headlines on Seesaw. We can’t wait to read you newspaper articles today.  

We know that Year 2 love to dance! Make sure you watch the video on the class gallery where Mr Mears will teach us our routine. We hope to see everyone take part in school and at home. Try and practise every day and send in a 10 second video via Seesaw, no later than 12 noon on Thursday, so that we can include it in the whole school video!

Have a go at this breathing exercise before you start your learning today. Miss Bennison and Mr Ingram love this one!

 

Here are your Wednesday facts to start your day:

• Elephants are the world’s largest land animal.
• The Romans didn’t spend all their time fighting – they were amazing architects and engineers too!
• Rainforests cover about 6% of the Earth‘s land surface.

 

 

Reading

It is ESSENTIAL that children continue to read every single day. This should be for a minimum of 20 minutes.

 

Reading challenge - What do you think will happen next in the story? Use this formula to record your thoughts….

Text clue + background knowledge = What I think will happen.

 

Resources for questioning your child while they are reading - VIPERS

Counting

Mr Ingram has been counting back in threes. Can you spot and correct my mistake on the number track.

Using a number line to 30 could help you solve the answer to the question.

Write out all your subtraction bonds from 10. Now write all your subtraction bonds from 20. Compare the 2 sets of numbers. Do you notice a pattern?

Play the Daily 10. Select multiplication and then select 3 times tables. Set the timer so you get quicker each time – Daily 10

Can you write out all your 3 times tables up to 12, in your home learning journal?

This week we will be looking at changing adjectives to nouns by adding the suffix -ness.

 

-ness is one of a number of noun suffixes. It is used to make nouns from adjectives, although not every adjective can be modified in this way. Here are some common adjectives whose noun forms are made by adding -ness:

 

But remember, some are trickier!

When the word ends in a consonant and a y, we need to change the ‘y’ to an ‘i’ then add –ness

 

 

Please note - Not all adjectives can be made into nouns using "-ness." Typically, if an adjective is in its -er or -est form, "-ness" cannot be added: higher and highest cannot become higherness or highestness.

 

Please see the attached ‘Jumbled Words’ activity. All the nouns with -ness have been jumbled up. Can you work out the word and then place it in the correct sentence?

 

PE

Please see today’s announcement on Seesaw for our ‘Underwater Dance’ lesson and follow the link to access the song - Underwater Song.

 

Before you start today’s PE session make sure you do a warm-up activity. Warming up before a PE lesson is not only beneficial to protect the muscles and the joints, it also helps to gradually increase our heart rates and circulation, which will increase the blood flow to the muscles. 

Warm-up game – Jumping bean

 

MOVEMENT – ‘We need to move like different animals in the sea’

Create some movements for the following animals:

-           Crab

-           Jellyfish

-           Stingray

-           Whale

 

Repeat these actions in this order until you can start to remember them.

 

CHOREOGRAPHY – Put the movements together using the song for timing.

 

START –

“under the water” – Students can bend knees and move arms down and scoop up to indicate ‘under’.

“under the sea” – students to stand still and wave arms from side to side.

“lots and lots of fishys swimin’ ‘round me” – Students to do their fish action.

 

PRACTICE – Make sure you keep practicing the song over and over until you can perfect each dance move.

 

We would love to see some of your final performance on Seesaw.

PSHE 

There is a PSHE worksheet attached to the blog all about exploring different types of feelings. It would be great if you could complete it at some point this week. 

Exploring our feelings and emotions is something that's really important during the time at home and it is important to talk through them with an adult. 

Please send a picture of your worksheet on SeeSaw.

We are half way through the week year 2. Keep up all your hard work, we are very proud of you all.

 

Year 2 team.
