Hello,

Your learning today is to watch Miss Hammond’s video and practise the flashcards along with her. Then can you practise your final ‘ing’ game for this week before the test tomorrow! This is a slightly different game to the game I posted the other day. It states it is for 3 players but will work just fine for 2 as long as an adult is helping.

For Literacy today I would like you to pretend to be the Farmer who planted the Enormous turnip! Yesterday you wrote questions to the farmer, so you know what a shock it was for him to discover that his vegetable had grown so huge. Perhaps your family could interview you pretending to be the farmer to get you into character. Then could you write a diary entry as if you are the farmer? (We looked at how to write diaries when we learnt about the Great Fire of London back in school.) Can you include what you felt like as you describe the events of your day?

You can do this straight onto paper and post to the blog, or you could type it if you would prefer using our blank diary template posted in your 2do’s on PurpleMash. I can’t wait to read your writing.

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 😊
