Year 2 Monday 1st June
Good morning Year 2! Welcome back!
Did you all have a lovely half term? I had a very relaxing week doing lots of reading. Over the weekend, my husband and I watched the SpaceX rocket launch into space! It was really exciting. Ask a grown up if they can help you find a video of it so you can watch it too.
It’s time to start our school learning again. I know it can be difficult to get back into the learning zone after a holiday, but we’ve got lots of exciting activities for you today.
Most of what you need is in your home learning pack. Everything else is below:

Year 2 Friday 22nd May
Good morning Year 2!
How have you been getting on with your learning this week? What things have you been doing for fun? Yesterday, I made ice-cream! I’ve never made ice-cream before but it was really easy and tasted yummy!
You may have noticed that I am not setting assignments on Busy Things any more. However, do still keep using the website and choosing your own activities to do there – it’s a great place to play some games and practise lots of your key learning from the year.
Today, most of you will get a delivery of your next home learning pack. It is for after half term so don’t start on it straight away as you will need the blog posts to go with them!
I won’t be blogging next week as it’s the half term holiday. I hope you have a lovely break from your school learning and can enjoy being outside and doing lots of exciting things!
Below is everything you need for your learning today.
Literacy
Today, you are doing something a little bit different to finish our Castles and Knights topic.
Jack and the Beanstalk PDF Book
Maths
Today is all about problem solving.
Here are three sets of challenges. You could choose one or try them all!
Everything else you need for today is in your home learning packs.
Here are the links from the topic grid for this week (w/b 18th May).
Also remember to have a look at the RE Lessons blog today if you haven’t done that yet.

Have a great day everyone and a great half term.

Year 2 Thursday 21st May
Good morning Year 2!
How are you all today? I hope you’re enjoying this lovely sunny weather. Yesterday I was at school. Every time I go to school I remember how much I miss you all! Today I am at home speaking with other teachers about how to teach Maths and Music better and thinking about all your writing activities for next term. Koala is still stuck up the bookcase – he hasn’t come down yet!
Below is everything you need for your learning today.
Literacy
Today, you are writing your information sheet about castles.
Maths
Find today’s maths sheet and get ready with a pencil. The video will tell you when to answer the questions on the sheet. To find the video, you need to go to this website:

When you are there, you need to click on Summer Term – Week 2 (w/c 27th April), Lesson 4 – Problem Solving. It looks like this:
TOP TIP – Draw pictures or diagrams to represent the information in the questions. Don’t try and do it all in your head!
Remember we are not following the dates on the website.
Optional Extra Maths Challenge:
Problem solving with bar models
Everything else you need for today is in your home learning packs.
Here are the links from the topic grid for this week (w/b 18th May). I will post them every day so you don’t need to do all the activities today!
