For phonics today, can you continue to use Miss Hammond’s videos to practise your flashcards. Practise your spellings and then as a little challenge, can you put these words into a sentence?

By now you will be more familiar with our story this week ‘The Enormous Turnip’. Your Literacy work for today is to interview the farmer who planted the turnip seeds. His day turned out very extraordinary, when he discovered his vegetable had grown so large and he needed all that help to pull it out the ground!

Can you think of questions you would like to ask the Farmer? For example, I would love to know ‘How many bowls of soup did your wife make out of such an enormous turnip?’

We learnt about questions in school a few weeks ago, so don’t forget to finish your question with a question mark and keep practising your neatest cursive handwriting. We would love to see your questions to the farmer on the blog.

Hello Year 2!

Here are some activities for you to complete this sunny Wednesday 🌞🌞🌞

Spellings – Today use this week’s spellings (adding s to words ending in y) to play the dice game.  If you don’t have a dice at home then you could pick the numbers from a hat instead.

Literacy – On Purple Mash you will find today’s activity in your 2do section.  It is called Powerful Alien Words.  You need to write interesting sentences to match the pictures of the aliens.  Try to use adjectives, adverbs and conjunctions in your writing.  You could also use the paint tools to draw your own picture of an alien to describe!  👽🛸👾

Maths – We are moving onto Measures now in Maths, starting with measuring length in centimetres.  You can find the video you need here:

And the worksheet to be completed here:

Afternoon activities – Art

We are really enjoying seeing your artwork this week and it seems that you are enjoying completing the activities too! Please choose another idea from the art sheet which you have not tried yet this week.

Thank you for working hard Year 2 and for sharing your work with us – we are very proud of you all!

Keep smiling 😊

Miss Newport and Miss Jones

I hope you enjoyed your learning on Monday. I noticed lots of fantastic art creations. Also some great puppet performances of our new story this week.

We are continuing with our ‘The Enormous Turnip’ work this week, with a focus on remembering familiar and repetitive stories.

Can you read it again today  – this time encourage your child to recite as much of it as possible by themselves. Then can you order the story in the correct sequence? You can do this by cutting out and sticking the sequencing pictures attached. Or you make your own by simply drawing a grid on a piece of paper and your child could draw their own lovely pictures in order themselves. You could try to label what is happening in each picture.

Also, look out for an Enormous Turnip themed jigsaw on your PurpleMash 2do.

Finally, for phonics today please continue to practise this week’s spellings. Here is a game you could use or copy for fun too.
