Homework due 30/9/20
Year 2 Homework
Due in Wednesday 30th September.
Reading
Access ‘Reading Eggs’ at least three times a week. Unfortunately, ‘Fast Phonics’ doesn’t count as reading at home as we currently can’t track that in school.
Spelling
Spellings are now on Spelling Shed. Please practise these as the children will be tested on them every Wednesday. Each week we will focus on a particular digraph (2 letters that make 1 sound) and look at the alternative spellings for that phoneme.
Each week the children will have 3 words for each spelling and 1 Common Exception Word (CEW), making a total of 10 words. Next week we will be tested on ie/i_e/y (all make the same long i sound as in pie/time/by).

Log in to Purple Mash. Go to ‘2Do’ and click on the ‘Make phrases interesting’ 2Do.
This week we have looked at putting adjectives before a noun e.g. the green, hairy troll (rather than the troll was green and hairy).
Practise putting an adjective (describing word) before the noun (person, place or thing). Then use the words to create sentences. These can be about anything – the sillier the better!
Maths
This week we have looked at 2 digit numbers and have begun to partition (split) them in to tens and ones. So 46 is made of 4 tens (40) and 6 ones (6). We’ve wrote calculations for these 46=40+6.
Visit ‘MyMaths’ and complete the place value work set.
Any problems, then please get in touch via the school office or on the Purple Mash email.
***If your child reads five times in a week, stays on ‘green’ in class and completes all their homework then they may be chosen for our new ‘Always Club’ treat on Friday!***

All children were given log in details last week. If you don’t have this then please get in touch and I’ll resend them as they will be needed for all future homework.
Any problems then please phone school and I’ll be happy to help. You can also email me via PurpleMash.

Log in to Purple Mash. Go to ‘2Do’
Read the ‘Great Fire of London Talking Story’.
Then click on the ‘I have found out’ 2Do and write some facts about the fire that you have learnt. You can draw a picture of the fire or add pre made images by clicking on the ‘clip art’ icon on the top right of the page.
Simply scroll down the ‘history’ tab and choose the images you’d like.
This should take about 20 minutes so focus on write 3-5 really good sentences (finger spaces, capitals, full stops and conjunctions such as ‘and’ or ‘because’). If you would prefer to write the facts then you can do this on paper and have a parent email a photo of your work to me at school.

Log in to Purple Mash. Go to ‘2Do’.
Complete the two quizzes. Both are on things that we have looked at this week. The first is on counting in 10’s, where you have to find the missing number in the sequence. The second is on counting in tens and then ones using ‘base ten’.
For example in the question below the second image would be the correct answer as it has 3 groups of 10 (making 30) and 2 individual ones so we can count from 30 – 31, 32.
