Date: 7th Feb 2021 @ 10:10am
Good morning Year 2,
We hope you had a lovely weekend. We would like to say a massive thank you to all of the children and parents for the effort you have put in over the past 5 weeks. We have loved reading every piece of work that has been sent to us on Seesaw. This is your last week before a well-deserved break.
This week we are celebrating Dance Week with a whole school dance project. Mr Mears will teach us our routine and we hope to see everyone take part in school and at home. You can find the video on the gallery section of the class blog or click the link here. 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.
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.
Reading challenge - I spy - Play ‘I Spy’ games. Can you find words beginning with...? Can you find a picture of a ...? How many ... can you see?
Resources for questioning your child while they are reading - VIPERS
Maths
Counting
Let’s count forwards in threes up to 100. Use this 100 square to help you.
|
Remember, the number gets bigger by 3 each time. See if you can spot a pattern. |
Write the numbers down in your Home Learning Journal and see if you can spot a pattern.
Number facts
Write out all your number bonds to 10. Now write all your number bonds to 20. Compare the 2 sets of numbers. Do you notice a pattern?
Times Tables

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?
Starter activity – Please see Seesaw for today’s starter activities.
This week in Maths we will be focusing on 2-D shapes. All 2D shapes can be measured by their length and width or length and height. But remember, shapes that are 2D are completely flat.
For example, the square below is a shape in 2D because it's flat and has straight sides.
Watch this video to learn all about 2D shapes – What are 2D shapes?
Attached to the end of this post, you will find a teaching PowerPoint and worksheet.
You could try and make today’s session more interactive by going out into the garden and gathering a collection of sticks and pebbles.
• Use the sticks or pebbles to make a shape.
• What shape did you make? Can you tell a grown-up about your shape?
• Then, try making another shape.
• Can you make a triangle, a square, a rectangle and a circle?
Can I recognise 2D shapes?
Please see the attached document for today’s shape hunt activity.

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.
Work through the attached PowerPoint and have a go at the worksheet.
Science
Make a shelter
Collect some different materials together from indoors (e.g. foil, card, plastic, cotton) and/or outdoors (e.g. sticks, leaves). Use the materials to make a waterproof mini shelter for a toy. You could start by making a framework like the one in the picture and then put different materials over it. Once the shelter is finished, put a small toy inside and spray or drip water over the top. Try changing the material to find out which one is best at keeping the toy dry.
WHAT DO YOU NOTICE?
Things to talk about …
Which materials are best at keeping the toy dry? Why do you think this is? Which materials let the water through? Do they let the water through straight away or after a bit of time? Which materials soak up the water?
NB if you are doing this indoors, put a tray or plastic sheet under the shelter to stop water going on the floor!
WHAT IS THE SCIENCE?
Water cannot pass through waterproof materials. Foil and plastic are waterproof which is why they are so useful for wrapping food, and why we make raincoats from plastic materials. Some materials might absorb water and so might not let it through straight away, e.g. thick cotton, but after some time, the water will drip through.

We hope you have a fantastic week of home learning,
