Children will need paper and a pen handy for the session.

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.

**Please note – we do not expect your child to complete all 5 sheets.  Choose one or two sheets to suit their ability.  The stars at the top of the sheet show the difficulty, with 1 star being the easiest and 5 stars being the hardest**

Year 2 Spelling activity – Thursday 3rd December

Hi all,

For todays spelling activity we would like you to use your spelling words to write lots of different numbers. For those of you learning the number words 1-10 then look particularly hard at those, e.g. if writing the number 46, then test yourself, can you spell the word ‘six’ without looking at the sheet? For those of you learning the number words 10-100 then look carefully at those, e.g. if writing 46, see if you can spell ‘forty’ without looking at the sheet.

Writing number words

Happy spelling everyone!

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

If you need paper copies please contact the school office.

 

Year 2 – Mrs Thomas’s Phonics group – Thursday 3rd December

Hi all,

Today we will be taking a break from split digraphs as you are getting so good at them now. Instead, we are going to practise reading longer words that have the consonant clusters ‘sn’, ‘nch’, ‘scr’, ‘shr’, ‘thr’ and ‘str’.

Below is a worksheet for you to complete. If you don’t want to print out the sheet, you can draw the picture yourself and then write the correct word next to it.

Circle the word – consonant clusters

Now can you choose at least 4 of the words from the worksheet and write a sentence for each, remembering to sound out the word carefully as you write it.

Can you be really clever and think of any words of your own that begin with these sounds?

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.

 

Maths Home Learning – Thursday 3rd December

On Thursday we will be delivering two live Teams lessons again. The first will be Maths at 9:30am. This will be a session about telling the time to the nearest 5 minute interval (to the hour this time)

Your child should have received an invite to this session however if not you can ‘join’ the meeting through the Teams app.

Children will need paper and a pen handy for the session.

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.  Try to encourage your child to use the picture of the annotated clock at the top of the sheet to help them.

Also have a look at what our cheeky elves have been up to today.  I think they are trying to remind us all to keep washing our hands.  What a mess they have made!

Both of the elves were named during this mornings meeting.  The elf in Miss Jones’ class is called Buddy and the elf in Miss Newport’s class is called Snowflake.  Two brilliant names for two cheeky elves!
