Hello Year 2

I hope you all managed to enjoy the sunshine over the past week. It was very hot in school! It was lovely to speak to more of you over the phone and find out about how you’ve been keeping busy.

Here is the learning for this week, any problems then get in touch through Purple Mash.

Summer Reading Challenge

The Summer Reading Challenge is back! I am encouraging you to do as much reading as possible over the summer. All you have to do is register and be ready to read 6 fun books over the holidays.

Please read about this year’s ‘Silly Squad’ challenge here.

On MyMaths please continue to work through any that you haven’t completed.

Here are another 3 arithmetic tests for you to try. Remember to show your working out and not do every calculation mentally.

Y2_Arithmetic_Test_5

Y2_Arithmetic_Test_4

You can also work through some word problems on statistics here.

Spelling/Phonics

If you have a sibling at home then why not play against them in this fun spelling game? Or you could try and beat an adult! You can choose Y1 or Y2 words as we have covered nearly all the spelling curriculum at this point in the year. It should be played on a tablet.

If you haven’t got a tablet at home, don’t worry – you can still practise your spellings here.

Last week I asked you to recap what you know about verbs. Can you name the verbs in the pictures?

name the verb

We have covered past and present tense this year and how the verb changes – often by adding ‘ed’ to the end to show the past. Have a go at this worksheet where you have to identify different verbs.

past and present tense

I’ve also added another test on to the spag.com website. This is an old end of Y2 test that would be good for you to look at as a recap of some of the things you’ve covered this year.

Hello Year 2,

I have really enjoyed speaking to some of you over the phone. It has been great to hear how you’ve been keeping busy over the lockdown period.

Here is the learning for this week, any problems then get in touch through Purple Mash.

Mrs Marsden.

Maths

Again, I’m not going to set any new work on MyMaths this week. Keep working through any that you haven’t completed.

I’ve set something slightly different this week, based on a feedback from you and your parents. Here are 3 arithmetic tests for you to try. Remember to show your working out and not do every calculation mentally.

Y2_Arithmetic_Test_1

Y2_Arithmetic_Test_2

Y2_Arithmetic_Test_3

You can also work through the word problems on fractions here.

Yr 2 – Spring Block 4 – Fractions

Practise your mental maths skills on this fun game:

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button

You can play any of the following– number bonds, halves, doubles, times tables (x2, x5, x10)

Remember to keep practising on Numbots and Times Table Rock Stars.

Spelling/Phonics

Go to www.phonicsplay.co.uk and practise any of the Phase 5 games.

We are looking at apostrophes’ this week. An apostrophe is used when an object belongs to something e.g. Sam’s hat – the hat belongs to Sam. The apostrophe always is added to the thing that the object belongs to. So the cat’s food not the cats food’.
