Online Pantomime Information – Tuesday 2nd Feb!

Here is some information about the panto tomorrow. Please read this information carefully!

There are 300 ‘tickets’ for our panto showing tomorrow afternoon. 

Only one device per household is permitted to log into teams using this link, so please use the most appropriate device for your family to watch. If you attempt to log in on more than one device, this will stop other families from accessing their ticket and being able to see the showing.

Once all 300 ‘tickets’ have been allocated, no further admissions into the showing are allowed.

The panto is performed via Microsoft Teams, so please make sure that your device is able to support this.  If you do not currently have access to Teams, please download this for free by following this link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/microsoft-365/microsoft-teams/download-app The company who are performing the panto are in charge of the technical side of the showing and will be hosting the meeting.

We will send you the link and more information via email tomorrow (the email address you usually send us your work via)

Many thanks,

The Year 2 Team

Year 2 Home Learning – Monday 1st February

Hello Year 2!

We hope you have had a lovely weekend.😊

There will be two live lessons tomorrow, Maths at 9.30am (recapping 2D shapes) and Literacy at 11am (looking at a new story for this week).  You should have received an invite for these sessions however if not, then you can join the meetings through the Teams app. Please come to each meeting armed with paper and a pen to write.

Following the Maths lesson, the worksheet below should be completed.  You do not need to print this sheet but the children will need to see it so they can work out their answers.

Monday 2D shapes (word document)

Monday 2D shapes (PDF file)

Monday lesson mindmap (word document)

Monday lesson mindmap (PDF file)

There have also been some Maths shapes games set on Purple Mash.  These are an optional extension activity.  The link to Purple Mash  is https://www.purplemash.com/sch/newdale  If you do not have your login details then please email us.

If you are unable to attend the live sessions, a recording of the lesson will always be available afterwards.  Worksheets and any further instructions will be shared via the website. We understand that this is tricky for some of you working from home, especially those with siblings so we understand that it is not always possible to join live. We hope the recordings help to support this. 

Other home learning activities set for today:

Mindfulness activity – As part of ‘Mindfulness Week’, choose an activity to complete from the mindfulness sheet below.

mindfulness week

Spellings – our spelling rule for this week is the ‘tion ending’.  Please see Mrs Thomas’ website post for today’s activity.

tion suffix spellings

Times Tables – please see Mrs Horler’s post for today’s activity.

Don’t forget to email us any work that you do or post it on the Year 2 homework blog.  We love to see the work you are completing at home.

Many thanks,

Miss Newport and Miss Jones 😊 😊
