Year 2 Home Practice 9th October 2020

Date: 9th Oct 2020 @ 3:37pm

Year 2 have had a fantastic week. Well done to everyone who has gone onto Sumdog and had a go at the challenges. This week we have focused on ‘being a great friend’ and Year 2 have enjoyed celebrating #HelloYellow day. In English this week we have looked at non-fiction writing and the children have researched all about Longton to write a leaflet. They all look great! For Maths we have continued to focus on number and place value. This week we have looked at finding different ways to make a number and exchanging using base ten. In French this week the children have learnt colours through the story ‘Pop le dinosaure mange toutes les couleurs’. They created their own colourful dinosaur using French colours – they look brilliant. In Geography we explored key features on a map and how we use them. We make sure we continue to take part in the daily mile to stay active at school.

Reading

In Year 2 we aim to read for a minimum of 15 minutes every night and discuss the book with an older sibling or adult to help deepen your knowledge.

Reading books are changed every Monday.

Sumdog

A Sumdog Contest starts today and finishes at 8pm on the 15^th October. Here are some key things to keep in mind whilst having a go at the Contest:

• Children can play at any time.
• For the score to count, the Lancashire Maths Contest activity must be showing in the green panel on the left of the students screen when they click to start each game.
• Their scores are based on correct answers.
• A class score is the average of scores from all the children from that class who take part.
• To appear on the leader board, at least 5 children from your class need to play.
• As some children have limited computer access, every child is limited to 1000 Contest questions.

Sumdog can be played from home, as well as in the classroom. To log in from home, students use the same details as they do in class.

Log in at www.sumdog.com. 

Additionally students can access Sumdog via the app, which is free to download and play.

In both cases, they'll need an internet connection.
