Date: 2nd Feb 2021 @ 3:10pm

Hello Year 2.

 

Well done on all your work so far this week. It is really great seeing everything you have done on SeeSaw, so please keep sharing. We hope you are enjoying our PSHE activities – keep it up.

 

See if you can have a go at these Yoga poses. Can you hold the position whilst you count to 30?

You have to say the writing out loud when you first move into the pose - “I am strong”.

 

 

 

Reading

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

 

Oxford Owl – This resource has an exciting range of carefully levelled books to help children learn to read, and love to read.

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 interpret a pictogram?

Today we are going to look at interpreting 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.

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

 

Can you remember all the rules for adding er and est?

You are going to play a game to see if you can! Please see the attached board game.

 

PE

Please see today’s announcement on Seesaw for our ‘Underwater Dance’ lesson and follow the link to access the song - Underwater Song. Please note, the video has been posted in two parts.

 

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 – Pirate Ship.

 

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

Create some movements for the following animals:

Fish

Octopus

Sea Lion

Dolphin

Shark

 

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 – Students can repeat the first half of the dance until the end of the lesson.

 

We would love to see some of your dances on Seesaw.
