Year 2 Home Practice 3rd December 2021

Date: 2nd Dec 2021 @ 2:57pm

We have had a great week of learning in Year 2. We have all been busy getting ready for our Nativity next week – lots of singing and super acting! In English, the children have looked at non-fiction writing about owls and are in the process of completing a non-chronological report. In Maths, we have continued looking at shapes and this week we have learnt about 3D shapes and their properties. The Big Draw for Art this week is drawing about our class story – the children drew some brilliant pictures of the night. In Science we have finished our topic on Habitats and the children drew a very detailed food chain.

Reading

In Year 2, children should read for at least 15 minutes every night and discuss the book with an adult or older sibling. This will help with understanding the text and learning new words.

Please sign and leave a small comment when you have read with your child and make it clear that you have finished a book, then we know we can change it.

Reading books are changed every Monday and sent home on Tuesday. However, if you need to change a book another time, we will change it as needed.

Reading resources:

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’

Spelling

Due to Nativity rehersals we have not managed to do this weeks spelling quiz. So please keep learning last weeks spellings for next Friday and these will be the last quiz before Christmas.

Please practise these spellings for your quiz on Friday. A sheet will go home every Tuesday with the spelling list on. This is for home practise only and can be kept with you. You will have a Sumdog challenge to complete by next Friday.

Maths

At home, spend some time counting in 2s, 5s, 10s and 3s. Practise these times tables on a game called Hit the Button. Follow this link: https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button

You will have a number fact challenge on Sumdog to complete by next Friday.

Sumdog

This week we would like to introduce Maths and Spelling Training. As you know, we set weekly challenges that are linked to the learning that takes place in school. As an extra feature, the maths and spelling training sections will provide a tailored challenge for your child to practise skills, facts and words that they find difficult. Once your challenges have been completed, use this feature for challenge in both spelling and maths.

Spend some time training so the program can learn the skills your child needs to work on and practise.

Sumdog challenges:

Maths –

Properties of 2-D and 3-D shapes.

Problems using number facts.

Spellings – high frequency words.

Thank you for all your support. Have a lovely weekend.

The Year 2 team.
