St Oswald's Catholic Primary SchoolYear 2 Home Learning - 4th February 2021
Date: 3rd Feb 2021 @ 4:13pm
Good morning Year 2,
We hope you have a brilliant day of home learning today. Remember, this week is all about looking after yourselves. Obviously we can't all compete in the sports we all love right now, play in a band, or be taught to play instruments - at least not in the usual way, but finding a way to keep your mind and body occupied can be one of the best things for being happy and active.
Here are a few activities you could try today:
- Go camping in the living room.
- Play board games.
- Design and go on an indoor treasure hunt.
- Have an indoor picnic.
Reading
It is ESSENTIAL that children continue to read every single day. This should be for a minimum of 20 minutes.
If you need any reading books, please let us know and we will arrange for some books to be collected from the school office.
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’.

Can you write out all your 2 times tables up to 12 in your home learning journal?
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 organise data using a block graph?
Today’s maths lesson can be found on Seesaw. Please watch the video carefully pausing to attempt certain tasks when prompted by the teacher.
We would like you to go on a coloured scavenger hunt around your house. How many different coloured items can you find? Once you have found them fill out the tally chart. Once you have completed the tally chart, have a go at filling out the block graph showing the number of coloured items in your house.
Please see the worksheet attached and have fun!

RE
Perhaps you could write your own prayer to thank God for books.
If you have a Bible at home, place it reverently on a table. As a family, gather around it and read the scripture below:
A reading from the Gospel of Saint Matthew, (Make the sign of the cross with your thumb on your head – to know and understand God’s Word; lips – to speak God’s Word and heart – to love God’s Word)
Glory to you, O Lord
At that time Jesus arrived from Galilee and came to John at the Jordan to be baptised by him. But John tried to make him change his mind. “I ought to be baptised by you,” John said, “and yet you have come to me!” But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so for now. For in this way we shall do all that God requires.” So, John agreed. As soon as Jesus was baptised, he came up out of the water. Then heaven was opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God coming down like a dove and lighting on him. Then a voice said from heaven, “This is my own dear Son, with whom I am pleased.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Quietly think about these questions and share your thoughts if you want to:
Q What does this Gospel story say to you?
Q Why did Jesus ask John to baptise him?
Q How do you think John felt?
Q How do you think Jesus felt when he heard God the Father’s words?
Task
Can I write my own prayer to thank God for all the books you have?
You can use the questions here to help you think of what information you could include in your prayer.
You could decorate around your prayer with your favourite books and pictures about your favourite story in the Bible.
