Year 2 Friday 15th May

Good morning Year 2!

It’s Friday!  I hope you’ve had a good week.  A real highlight for me was listening to all your wonderful writing.  You are all superstars.

Here is your learning for today.

Literacy

Today you are going to be writing a dragon poem.

Instructions are here: Literacy Friday 15th May

Maths

Maths will look a bit different today as you will be solving problems.  The sheet has problems for ALL children in primary school, so of course some of them will be quite tricky for Year 2!  I would like you all please to try questions 1, 2 and 3.  The other questions are for older children but if you’d like to try them, then do have a go.  If you have older brothers or sisters, perhaps you could try them all together.

Friday Challenge

Friday Challenge ANSWERS

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

It would be great to do some singing today, like we do in school on Fridays.

Here is the music link from the topic grid for this week (w/b 11th May).

Music: Songs to Learn – Look at Week 5, Monday for a song you might recognise.

Also remember to have a look at the RE Lessons blog today if you haven’t already done that this week.

Year 2 Thursday 14th May

Good morning Year 2!

Yesterday I went to school and noticed that Koala was feeling a bit lonely in the book corner so I brought him home with me.  He’s now sitting on our computer, keeping my husband and I company whilst we work!

Below is everything you need for your learning today.

Literacy

Yesterday, we finished our Dragon Machine lessons.  I know you all worked really hard and did some amazing writing.  We’ll keep going with our Castles and Knights topic – I have some more great writing tasks for you.  Click on the link below for today’s lesson.

You’ll also need this link.

Maths

Today’s lesson is all about measuring with a metre stick.  Don’t worry, I don’t expect any of you to have a metre stick at home!  However, some of you might have a measuring tape that is 1m so you could use that or you could make a metre stick using things you have at home.  If you don’t have one and can’t make one, then don’t worry.  It just means that  you won’t be able to do questions 1c, 1d or 4 – you can still do all of the other questions!

Now 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 1 (w/c 20th April), Lesson 4 – Measure length (m).  It looks like this:

Optional Extra Maths Challenge:

Year 2 Wednesday 13th May

Good morning Year 2!

Yesterday I got to speak to the rest of you on the phone and hear you read your lovely writing.  I am so proud of you all.  You are working really hard at home and doing some amazing things.  Well done!

Below are the videos you need for your learning today.

Literacy

This is Session 10, our last video Literacy lesson!

Today’s lesson is about finishing your story.  I know that some of you wrote all of your story yesterday.  If you did, use the time today to extend it.  For example, if you only wrote one sentence about your character building their machine, you could try turning that part of the story into a paragraph (a group of sentences).

Maths

Today we are starting some lessons about measuring.  If you have a ruler at home, you will need to use it today.  If you don’t have a ruler, here are some ideas:

Now 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:

Nearly Mid May Jokes from Rhonda

I was looking on line the other day for some camouflage trousers to buy….but I couldn’t find any.

Have  you ever tried to eat a clock?  It’s so time consuming.

I don’t trust the stairs in our block of flats.  They’re always up to something.

This isn’t a joke…..Have any of you been to the new Lidl yet?  Inside they have something called ‘The Middle of Lidl’!  It’s the aisle (don’t say the /s/ in aisle) at the center of the shop that has non food products which changes every couple of days.  I could’ve bought a laminating machine instead of the bananas I went there for.  It’s like the place got mixed up, putting Robert Dyas smack dab in the center!  It’s very Rhonda Random and I really like it.  Hope you are all well!  Love, Rhonda x
