Year 2 Home Learning - 2nd February 2021

Date: 1st Feb 2021 @ 1:10pm

Good morning Year 2,

 

We hope yesterday went well. Keep doing your best, having a go at tasks independently, asking for support only when required.  It is important that you continue to work hard, recapping and practising previous learning, as well as learning new things. We have loved seeing all your wonderful work on Seesaw so keep posting.

 

Try some of these at home ideas:

1. Play indoor hide and seek.
2. Make decorations, create a playlist, and throw a family dance party.
3. Try a new cookie or cake recipe. Bonus idea: Set up a camera or smart phone and film a cooking show!

 

If you need any reading books, please let us know and we will arrange for some books to be collected from the school office.

 

We will explain the structure on here each day but please refer to the additional uploaded documents for each specific lesson guidance and resources.

 

Joke of the day

Why can't Elsa have a balloon?

Because she will let it go.

 

Reading

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

Write, or draw pictures, from anything you’ve read! Big writing and pictures are even more fun. For example, use an old roll of wallpaper to make a treasure map with clues from the stories you’ve read together.

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’

This week we will looking at statistics and data handling. From pictograms to line graphs, children learn a lot about collecting, organising and presenting data in primary school maths. This week we will look at how you can help your child get to grips with basic statistics at home. Data handling at primary school means gathering and recording information and then presenting it in a way that is meaningful to others. It is now referred to as ‘statistics’ under the 2014 curriculum.

 

Can I draw pictograms?

Today we are going to look at identifying and drawing pictograms.

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.

https://vimeo.com/504483835

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.

This week we will be looking at adjectives with the suffix -er and -est.

Adding -er/-est

We make the comparative or superlative forms of short adjectives by adding -er or -est, for example: hard, harder, hardest

Spelling Rule
Just add -er or -est to the end of the adjective, for example:

• quick, quicker, quickest
• great, greater, greatest
• full, fuller, fullest

Exceptions
(note: C=consonant; V=vowel)

If adj. ends in	do this	and add	Examples
C + y	change y to i	er est	happy happier happiest
C + e	remove e		late later latest
C + V + C	double last letter		hot hotter hottest
Note: adjectives ending in -l are regular, except: cruel, crueller, cruellest

 

Go through today’s PowerPoint presentation. Look at the Activity Sheet Adding er and est. Can you complete the table by writing the adjectives with the suffixes er and est?

 

Remember

When the word ends in an e, we knock the e off before adding er or est.

If the adjective ends in a y, we need to change it to an i, then add er or est.

When an adjective ends in a vowel and one consonant, double the last consonant to keep the vowel short.

 

Music

Mrs Winter has kindly sent us a music lesson that we can try our at home.

In this lesson, we will be exploring how to make different sounds with our bodies and make up our own body percussion pattern.

Please click on the link for this week’s music lesson.

Exploring different ways to use your body

 

French

We were doing really well with our French phonics so here’s a video to watch first to practise some sounds.

Now we are going to move on to learning the names of some farm animals. Watch this video and repeat the words.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pba8564WZ4M

Attached is a sheet with 7 farm animals. Print out the sheet (or do 7 drawings). Hide the pictures round the room. When your child finds one, s/he should give the word in French. Then it’s their turn to hide them!

Here is a song to finish – Old MacDonald had a farm in French. It’s a bit fast so may be better played on 0.75 speed. See if you can pick up the sounds the animals make in French. They’re not all the same! The word used for sheep is une brebis (oon brubee) – a ewe.

Merci beaucoup. A bientot!
