Year 2 Spellings – Friday 8th January

Hi all, today is spelling test day. Yay I hear you say! Can you please complete your spelling test of the ‘le’ words that you have been learning at home and then email your score to newdale.year2team@taw.org.uk. Good luck!

Next weeks spellings are all homophones (these are words that sound the same but have different meanings). Below is a link to a funny ‘Homophone Monkey’ song. How many homophones can you spot in the song?

 

A copy of your homophone spellings can be found here.

homophones & near homophones

Remember to choose the correct page to practise. Those of you that work with Miss Newport or Miss Jones for spellings need the sheet with 11 words, those of you that work with Mrs Thomas or Mrs Horler need the sheet with 8 spellings and those of you that work with Mrs Fullerton need the sheet with 6 spellings. If you can’t remember which group you are in then just email us at ‘newdale.year2team@taw.org.uk’.

Remember to practise your spellings every day and complete the daily activities that are posted on the website.

Happy spelling!

Year 2 Home Learning Friday 8th January

Hello Year 2!

Well done you have made it to the end of the week! Here is your learning for Friday 8th January 😊

There will be two live lessons, Maths at 9.30am (looking at tally charts and pictograms) and Literacy at 11am (writing a letter of complaint).  You should have received an invite for this session however if not, then you can join the meeting through the Teams app. Please come to each meeting armed with paper and a pen to write.

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

Friday maths

Friday letter writing

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. 

As always, spelling and times tables activities will be posted online daily.  Also keep an eye out for our Star of the Week video which will be released today!

If you have any questions please email us on newdale.year2team@taw.org.uk

We understand that this is a very difficult time for parents and we are extremely grateful for all of your support.

Many thanks,

Miss Newport and Miss Jones 😊 😊

Year 2 Spelling activity – Thursday 7th January

 

Hi year 2,

Here is todays spelling activity. Can you find all of the ‘le’ words in the wordsearch? Remember that you only need to do the wordsearch that matches your spellings for this week. If you are unsure which one to do then just send us an email and we’ll remind you.

le wordsearch 5 words le wordsearch 7 words le wordsearch 10 words

When you have found them all, have another go at ‘Look, cover, write, check’ like you did yesterday. Were you better today? Did you spell more right this time? If not, don’t worry, just keep trying.

 

Please email a photo of your work to ‘newdale.year2team@taw.org.uk’ or post on the school website year 2 homework blog. Thank you.

Good morning,

Good luck.

Mrs Horler

Free SIM cards

At school we have a limited number of a 30GB data-only SIMs for which last for 90 days. We would like to offer these to help support children access the online learning.  The SIM cards will work with a Smart Laptop/Dongle if it has a slot for a SIM card, you simply place it in.

 

The SIM card can be placed into a Smartphone. You can then use that data to connect or ‘tether’ your others devices (eg tablet, laptop) by using the ‘Hotspot’ feature on the phone. You would not be able to use your phone to make calls/texts while using your data SIM.

 

If you would like a 30GB sim card, please email newdale.primary@taw.org.uk and request one (first come, first served). The data must be used to support home schooling during this national lockdown.

 

The SIM cards are limited to 30GB, so once that data limit is reached, no further data is available and once the 90 days has ended, any remainder of the 30GB of data will expire.

 

Regards
