Good morning Year 2!

Did you have a lovely weekend?  What did you do?  When I ring you this week, it would be lovely to hear your answers so think of something to tell me!  I did a very boring adult thing of sorting the cupboards in the kitchen!  I’m sure you can tell me something much more interesting than that.

Below are the videos you need for your learning today.  There are also some new links to match the links on your topic grid for this week.

Literacy

This is Session 5. Get your writing book ready, write today’s date, and then press play.  The video will tell you what to do.

It’s Superhero Day!

Dear Year 2,

I hope you’re going to have lots of fun being superheroes today.  Below are lots of superhero activities for you.  First, however, you might like to listen to something very exciting Miss Ascough did on the radio this morning!

Go here – https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000hq5f (BBC Sounds, Radio 2 Zoe Ball show) and go to 24:30.

Literacy

We’re going to take a a break from our videos today to write a superhero story!

Instructions are here.

Superhero stories

Maths

You are still going to do your Maths lesson from White Rose today.

Go on to the website – https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-2/ – and look for Week 1, Lesson 5 – Find a quarter.  The website has moved around a bit since yesterday so don’t worry if it’s not where you thought it would be!  Try scrolling to the bottom of the page.  You are looking for this:

More Superhero fun!

Here are some other superhero activities for you to pick from.

Remember, you are all superheroes and I am very proud of you! 🙂

Good morning Year 2!

1. Miss Ascough has written a new blog post so do have a look as there are some exciting activities for you on there.
2. I’m going to finish this week’s phone calls today, so if you haven’t heard from me yet, today is the day!

I hope you enjoy today’s videos.

Good morning Year 2!

How are you today?  I enjoyed speaking to some of you yesterday.  I’ll be ringing some more of you today and some more of you tomorrow so, if I haven’t rung you yet, please ask your grown up to keep an eye on their phone!

Here are today’s lessons.  Remember, today is Spanish day so keep an eye out for some work from Mr Gonzalo on BusyThings the blog, too.

Good morning Year 2!

I hope you enjoyed your learning with your new packs yesterday.  Today, I am going to start ringing you all to see how you’re getting on this week.  I’ll be working through the class over the next few days so don’t panic if you don’t get a call from me today – I will ring you before the end of the week.

Here are today’s video lessons.

I’m glad so many of you enjoyed the lesson yesterday.  Here is Session 2.   Get your writing book (from your home learning pack) ready, write today’s date, and then press play.  The video will tell you what to do.

Good morning Year 2!

Did you have a good weekend?  I had a lovely time doing lots of cooking, chatting with friends on the computer and riding my bike.  What did you do?

I am very excited about our topic for the rest of this term: Castles and Knights.  What do you already know about Castles and Knights?  Write in the comments to tell me!

You all received your new home learning packs on Friday, so the blog posts will look a little different now as all the information you need is in your paper packs.  However, you will still need to check these blogs every morning to find your Literacy lesson and your Maths lesson.  Everything else you need is in your pack, along with a timetable to help you know how to use it.  If you have any questions, just send me a message on here.  Each day, I will also post a few optional extra activities for those of you who would like them.

Here are today’s video lessons.

Literacy

In Literacy we are going to be using a book called The Dragon Machine to inspire our writing.  You don’t need to have the book at home – the videos I post will read it to you.  Get your writing book (from your home learning pack) ready, write today’s date, and then press play.  The video will tell you what to do.

Maths

In Maths, we are going to learn about fractions.  We had just started doing this in school when we had to close.  We are going to start from the beginning.  This will mean we will revisit some things we learnt in school before moving on to new things.

Before you watch the video, make sure you have your maths sheet with today’s date ready.  The video will tell you when to answer the questions on the sheet.  To find the video, you need to go to this website:

https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-2/

When you are there, you need to click on Week 1, Lesson 1 – Make equal parts.  It looks like this:

Please ignore the dates on the website as we are not following these.

Everything else you need for today is in your home learning packs.  

On the activity grid in the home learning packs (w/b 27th April), I suggested some websites you could use for the activities.  I have put links to those websites here as you might find it easier to click than typing in the links.  I will re-post these every day so don’t feel you have to click on them all today!

Links to websites suggested in home learning packs:

Instructions to make a shield

Dancing to Medieval Music

Music: Songs to Learn

Useful websites:

https://www.dkfindout.com/uk/history/castles/

https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/members-area/kids/guide-to-castles/

https://www.rct.uk/resources/game-bring-on-the-battle-childrens-activity

Optional Extras:

If you would like some extra activities, then I have posted some links below.  I have also put some activities on BusyThings.

Literacy: Using alliteration

History: Neil Armstrong

Maths: The Mystery of the Missing Story Ending

Have a great day everyone and I hope you enjoy this new learning.

Good morning Year 2!

Yesterday I went to school to make some new paper learning packs for you.  They will be delivered to you on Friday.  It was very strange being in school without of all you and made me realise again how much I miss seeing you and teaching you in person every day.  However, I’m so glad that we are able to keep in touch on here.  Thank you to those of you who are sharing some of the wonderful learning you are doing on the blog and sending photos to school – it makes me smile because I am so proud of you.
