Purple Mash

Today we practised using Purple Mash on the laptops and computers. We were typing up a report we have written this week on old and modern trains.

We practised logging on to our purple mash accounts, typing up our fantastic sentences and inserting spaces, full stops and capital letters.

If you would like to explore purple mash at home your log ins are in the back of your home communication book.

Year 2 home learning Maths – 26.11.20

In Maths today we will be finding fractions of numbers.  This new learning links nicely to the work we were doing on division last week.

I have made a video to show you the method you need to use.  We will be using the sharing method (which is the one we used for division!) You can find my video here: https://youtu.be/0U3Ir826MYE

The questions we would like you to complete are here

Maths Thursday fractions

CHALLENGE!

If you whizzed through the first set of questions, we would like you to have a go at finding fractions when the numerator is bigger than 1.  I have made another video to explain this https://youtu.be/xzcoFWkV5TE

Your challenge questions are here.

Spellings and times tables

Don’t forget that you can also practise this weeks spellings and times tables at home too.

Spellings

This week in spellings we are looking at contractions.  A contraction is a word that has been shortened from combining two bigger words. An apostrophe is a punctuation mark used in the place of letters taken out of a word.

Can you spot the contractions in this video?

A copy of the spellings can be found here:

Contraction spellings week 4

Times Tables

A game we play at school to practise our times tables is Hit the Button  https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button

Alternatively you could complete one of the worksheets below.

x2 sheet x3 sheet x5 sheet x 10 sheet

If you have forgotten which times tables you are working on then please email Mrs Thomas or Mrs Horler on newdale.year2team@taw.org.uk

Year 2 Home Learning continued – Wednesday 25th November

For Maths today we will be practising some mental addition.  You did an activity like this in class yesterday so you should remember what to do.

You will need a dice to play this game but if you do not have one at home you could use this online version https://www.teacherled.com/iresources/tools/dice/

Simply roll three numbers and then add them together.  To add them together you should put the larger number in your head and then use your fingers to help you to count on.  You can use jottings if it helps too.

T-N-4969-Three-Dice-Addition-Game_ver_1

Record your number sentence using + and = symbols, for example if you roll 4 and 2 and 5 you would write 5 + 4 + 2 = 11

CHALLENGE: Once you have completed your dice addition game, have a go at this challenge:

You can submit your work to us on the homework blog or email us directly on newdale.year2team@taw.org.uk

If you require paper copies to complete this work then please contact the school office on 01952 387720 and they will be able to provide you with these.

Update for Yr 2 parents

 

Dear Parents/Carers of children in Year 2,

 

Thank you for your swift response this morning to our ongoing situation in school. Our Year 2 teaching team are busy setting up plenty of tasks for your children to complete at home. You will need to access direction from them through the school website on the Year 2 page.

 

We are following our protocol and taking full advice from the professionals at the Health Protection Hub. This of course will take us a small amount of time.

 

Please do not panic, we are one of the very few schools that have not had a positive case until now.

 

I will be in contact with further details very soon.

 

Thank you for your understanding.

Update 23.11.20

Dear Parents/Carers,

 

As part of our ongoing risk assessment, we need to ensure levels of ventilation across the school are high. We are told this constant movement of fresh air helps us keep our school safer.

 

This means that we need to have periods of time where the doors to classrooms and windows are left open. Before now, this was not too much of an issue but now the temperatures are dropping it could be.

 

Please ensure your children are adequately dressed e.g. with an extra layer under their shirt and of course please make sure they have a coat.

 

We continue to do all we can to protect everyone in our school, but we need your help along the way.

 

As ever…

 

  • Keep your children off school if they are displaying symptoms (do not risk it for the sake of everyone else).
  • Maintain social distance yourselves at all times and wear a mask.
  • Make sure children wash hands before arriving at school and immediately when they come home.
  • Keep us up to date – communication is key at this time.

 

If in doubt, call the office (01952 387720) and someone will do their best to help you.

 

 

Miss Cook

Headteacher
