Year 2 – Mrs Thomas’s Phonics group (Split Digraphs) – Wednesday 2nd December

Hi phonics group,

Today we will be continuing to practise reading and spelling words using the ‘u-e’ split digraph.

Below is a link to a fun online game. All you need to do is spell a ‘u-e’ word to match each picture that is shown. Good luck!

Top tip: If you are not sure what the picture in the game is showing you then click on the ‘list’ button and it will show you a selection of words to choose from.

How many of the 10 ‘u-e’ words did you spell correctly?

Year 2 Spelling activity – Wednesday 2nd December

Hi all,

Todays spelling activity is the ‘Dice Bingo’ game. Some of you have played this before but some of you haven’t so here are the instructions for how to play.

1) Print off a bingo board for each player (each player’s board looks the same).

dice game – number words 1-10 dice game – number words 10-100

Remember to choose the board that matches your spellings for this week.

 This one is for Mrs Thomas, Mrs Horler and Mrs Fullerton’s groups.

 This one is for Miss Newport and Miss Jones’s groups.

 

2)Take turns to roll the dice (if you don’t have a dice then I have attached a link below to an online one).

3)Whichever number you roll, you read the word next to that number on your board, highlight it or colour it in and then copy the word on the line underneath. It is then the next players turn.

4)If you roll a number that has been rolled before then read the next word along on the same line.

5)The winner is the first person to colour a line going either across or down. Remember to shout BINGO!

Please email a photo of your work to ‘newdale.year2team@taw.org.uk’ or post on the school website year 2 homework blog. We’d love to see who won!

If you need paper copies please contact the school office.

 

Update 2.12.2020

Thank you for your continued support through this tricky half term. The teams at Newdale are doing their very best to keep everyone safe as well as making sure the children are accessing the very best teaching and learning. We are not writing off Christmas and have all sorts of fun things in the pipeline to help children get excited and looking forward to the big day!

I have been involved in some of the live lessons that Year 2 have been delivering: it has been lovely to see children engaged and enjoying the offer. Clearly, we know it is not as good as being in school, but I am very confident that the Year 2 team are working so hard on delivering the best offer possible. If you are struggling with accessing home learning, please contact the school and we will help you as much as possible. It is important that children do not slip behind.

The attached poster is the latest guidance on Tier 2 which Telford has been placed in. We really do need you to pay more attention than ever to the health of your children. As you can see, there are precautionary test recommendations for a new set of symptoms. If we in school hear a child of complaining of these symptoms, we will ask you to collect them straight away to avoid possible direct contacts and therefore possible spread of the virus. The test process is very easy and we know now that results are often back within 24 hours. Unfortunately we have experienced some parents saying their child is making it up and that they are not ill. As you can imagine, this is very difficult for us in school as we have to be overly cautious for the sake of everyone else. Please support us in monitoring carefully at home and talking to your children should they seem under the weather.

The last reminder for now is linked to sickness and diarrhoea – if your child does suffer with either of these illnesses, please note our school sickness policy is that they remain off school for 48 hours, again to avoid spreading diseases unnecessarily.

Thank you for your continued support in helping us to keep you safe.

Maths home learning – Wednesday 2nd December

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

Your child should receive 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.

If  you would like to do a bit more time work, you can find Wednesday’s challenge sheet here:

Well done for all of your hard work Year 2.  We are all very proud of you and understand that home learning is not always easy.  Keep it up!

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

See you tomorrow,

Miss Newport and Miss Jones

Update 1.12.20

A point for clarification to help us in school…

 

  • If it is your child’s birthday and you want them to bring in a treat for everyone, please can you only bring in shop bought, individually wrapped treats. We need to ensure that if we are handing anything out, we have gone through the necessary steps to minimise risk.

 

Many thanks

Christmas cards and gifts

Dear Parents and Carers,

 

Despite everything that is going on in the outside world, here at Newdale we want to hold onto as many traditions as we can.

 

We know that Christmas cards and kind gifts sent in for staff are a huge part of Christmas and we are keen for the children to be able to swap cards safely. In order for this to happen, we will be asking you to do the following –

 

Please do not allow your children to lick the envelopes for obvious reasons.

 

Cards must only be brought in the week beginning 7th December. The last date that we can accept cards will be Friday 11th December. We will not be accepting any cards past this date.

 

The reason for this is that once the cards are brought in, they will be isolated in a sealed box. Following an isolation period, the cards will then be distributed to the children in the week beginning 14th December.

 

If we were to receive cards in after the cut off date, we would not be able to isolate them in time to send out. Please do not send any cards or gifts in after the 11th as we will not be able to accept them.

 

Thank you for your continued support.
