St Oswald's Catholic Primary SchoolYear 2 Home Learning - 15th January 2021
Date: 14th Jan 2021 @ 3:15pm
Happy Friday!
Thank you for an amazing week of home learning. We know you will all be working hard at home and doing us proud. Keep it up year 2!
We will explain the structure on here each day but please refer to the additional uploaded documents for each specific lesson guidance and resources.
Reading
It is ESSENTIAL that children continue to read every single day. This should be for a minimum of 20 minutes.
When you’ve finished reading, talk about what happened. Acting out the things that happened in the story or describing the big idea of a chapter is really fun and maximises learning. For example, ‘can you remember all the things that happened on the bear hunt?’
Oxford Owl – This resource has an exciting range of carefully levelled books to help children learn to read, and love to read.
If parents and children decide to use this resource, we ask they access phase 5 books. Go to https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/ and select ‘my class login’. Scroll down to the red box ‘eBook Library for Letters & Sounds’

Today we are going to look at finding change.
We have uploaded an additional document named 'CHALLENGE'. This is only intended as extension work to challenge and push your learning. You are not required to complete this sheet. The WhiteRose sheet is more than enough.
Make sure you watch the video carefully and pause to answer questions on the worksheet.
Please follow the link and complete the worksheet attached to the class blog.
1. Watch the video (either on your own or with your child).
2. Find a calm space where your child can work for about 20-30 minutes.
3. Use the video guidance to support your child as they work through a lesson.
Complete on the sheet (if you have a printer) or write your answers in your home learning book.

Does your child know how to change the tense of a verb? Can they say both "I am playing on the field today" and "I played on the field yesterday"? This means they can understand how to change the present tense into the past tense.
|
What are the rules for changing verbs to the past tense? For a regular verb, add "ed" to turn it into a past tense verb. If a regular verb already ends in "e", make sure it ends in "ed". If a verb ends in a "y", such as "hurry", you change it to an "i" and then add "ed". This becomes "hurried". If a regular verb ends with one vowel and one consonant, double the consonant before adding "ed". For example, "wrap" would become "wrapped". If a verb ends with a "c", you then need to add a "k" before "ed."
|
For many verbs, to change to past tense you add -ed to the verb.
Example 1:
Jump = jumped
For many verbs that end in y, there are simple rules for changing these words to past tense:
If the y follows a consonant, then change the y to i and add -ed.
Example 2:
Carry = carried
If the y follows a vowel, add -ed.
Example 3:
Play = played
Please have a go at the attached worksheet.
Computing
This term we are looking at coding in Computing. On the additional documents you will find your child’s individual login for the programme we use. The website is called Code.org. It should work on your tablets. If you do not have one, school will be happy to loan one out to you whilst you are off. Once your child has their unique login, they will be able to access the programme on code.org by following the instructions on the document.
- Each child will have the same 6 letter section code – FMSQGM, they will then search for their name, choose their secret picture and then press the sign in button.
Today please complete the following lesson:
- Course B (2020)
- Complete Lesson 4 – Programming with Angry Birds.
Please only complete the lessons stated above.
Additional activities – Art
Try one of the windy art activities attached to this post.
We hope you all have a relaxing and enjoyable weekend.
