Year 2 Home Practice Friday 8th July 2022

Date: 8th Jul 2022 @ 9:55am

A very exciting week in Year 2, the children had a fantastic time on our school trip to Skipton Castle. They really enjoyed exploring and seeing what daily life in a castle was like. Well done to everyone for listening so carefully and using lovely manners. Moving up morning was also a lot of fun and really good for the children to experience time as juniors. They are definitely ready for the new, challenging and interesting learning Year 3 will offer.

Reading

In Year 2, children should read for at least 15 minutes every night and talk about what they have just read. 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 really enjoy it.

Please access phase 5 books. Go to https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/ and select ‘my class login’. Scroll down to the ‘eBook Library for Letters & Sounds’. You could also explore the rest of the site and read books from the Oxford Owl eBook library or listen to audio books.

In addition to this, reading a good bed time story to your child is so worthwhile and really helps towards a lifelong love of reading.

Spelling

Please practise these spellings for your quiz on Friday (15.07.22). A sheet will go home on Friday with the spelling list on. This is to do at home and can be kept with you.

It is useful to write the words down on the spelling sheet, but also to call the words out and spell them out loud using the letter sounds or names. Other ideas include breaking the words up and writing them down in different colours (pleasure). You could look for words within words (division)or think of your own ways to remember the word for example, spell it aloud using a tune or song.

You will have a Sumdog challenge on these words to complete by next Friday.

This week’s spellings are:

television                pleasure

treasure                 measure

usual                       occasion 

division                   usually

vision                     leisure

Maths

At home, play the ‘follow me’ counting game that we play in school. Take turns to count to 100 forwards or backwards. You could start and finish at any number. Try counting faster to make it more challenging.

You will have a times table and number challenge on Sumdog to complete by next Friday.
