Year 2 Home Learning

From Monday 30th November, the Year 2 team will be delivering live lessons via Microsoft Teams. Today you will receive a text message containing your child’s login details, please keep this for future reference. We have written a guide on how to set up and use Teams which is attached below. We would really like as many children as possible to access the live lessons so your child can continue to make the best possible progress whilst at home.

At 2pm today the Year 2 team will be carrying out a test live lesson to check everything works. It would be lovely to see your child there (and it is a chance for them to see their classmates too!). The meeting today should only last around 15minutes.

The date and times of Teams meetings scheduled for next week will be shared via the school website prior to the meeting. We will be tracking the attendance of the meetings and hope that as many children as possible join the sessions so as to avoid further gaps in learning. The live lessons will be recorded so your child can watch parts again or catch up if they miss it.

Microsoft Teams Pupil and Parent guide

Thank you for your support in helping your children access this digital learning.

If you have any questions please phone the office or email the Year 2 team on newdale.year2team@taw.org.uk

Year 2 Spelling – week 5

Hi all, today is spelling test day, yay! Can you please complete your spelling test at home and then email your score to newdale.year2team@taw.org.uk. Good luck!

Next weeks spellings are all about numbers. We want you to be able to spell number words.
A copy of the spellings can be found here:
Week 5 – numbers as words

If you are in Mrs Thomas’s, Mrs Horler’s or Mrs Fullerton’s spelling groups then you need to learn sheet one (number 1-10).
Here is a video to help you:

If you are in Miss Newport’s or Miss Jones’s spelling groups then you need to learn sheet two (higher numbers).
This video has much bigger numbers but don’t worry, you don’t need to learn them all!

Paper copies of the spelling sheets can be requested from the school office.

Update 26.11.20

Dear Parents and Carers,

As you are aware, we closed the Year 2 bubble yesterday. We are grateful for all the kind words of support that you as the parent community have shared with us – it really is appreciated.

Mrs Bishton and I have continued to work with the Health Protection hub throughout yesterday evening. Some of the Year 2 pupils are required to self-isolate, meaning that they must not leave the house and return to school until 8th December.

However, along with the Health Protection Hub we have been able to identify a small list of pupils who have not been in direct contact with the positive case. This group of pupils do not need to self-isolate and therefore do not need to stay in their homes. We have contacted all of these parents directly to inform them. These pupils will still need to remain off school, as staff absence means that we are unable to cover in those class bases at this time. We are hopeful that as staffing issues ease, we can invite this group of pupils back to school sooner. We will be in immediate contact with these parents as soon as we are able to do this.

Many parents are asking for our advice in taking their child for a test. We are not medical professionals and can only follow the guidance we have all been given. Our advice to you is to directly follow the Government guidance below –

Symptoms of COVID-19
The most common symptoms of coronavirus (COVID 19) are recent onset of:
A new continuous cough and/or
High temperature and/or
A loss of, or change in, normal sense of taste or smell (anosmia)

If you or your child has any of these three main symptoms, you need to immediately get a test and self-isolate until the result is known.

Telford and Wrekin council are now asking you to book a COVID-19 test as a precaution, if you are showing other symptoms, such as:
Headaches
Aches and pains
Feeling tired for no good reason
Sore throat
Runny nose
Sneezing
Tummy ache in children

You can book a test online, it is quick and easy.
If you are booking a coronavirus test as a precaution due to one or more of the above symptoms, you don’t need to self-isolate unless you receive a positive test result.
However, if the symptom which is the reason for the test relates to vomiting and diarrhoea, you will need to follow our sickness policy and keep your child off school for 48 hours after the onset of the symptoms.

How to stop COVID-19 spreading
There are things you can do to help reduce the risk of you and anyone you live with getting ill with COVID-19
Do
– Wash your hands with soap and water often – do this for at least 20 seconds
– Use hand sanitiser gel (with 60% alcohol) if soap and water are not available
– Wash your hands as soon as you get home
– Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when you cough or sneeze
– Put used tissues in the bin immediately and wash your hands afterwards
All the staff and pupils here at Newdale will continue to work with the Health Protection Hub to ensure that the safety of our children is at the forefront of all we do.

Kind regards,

Miss Cook

Mrs Thomas’s Phonics Group (Split Digraphs)

Hi all,
Today we would have been recapping the split digraph ‘e_e’ so I have set you a challenge! Here is a sheet of ‘e_e’ words, however, some of the words are real and some of them are nonsense. Can you sort them? If you can’t print out the sheet, don’t worry, you can just write the words in two columns on a piece of paper. Happy sorting!
T-L-4671-Phase-5-e-e-Split-Digraph-Colour-By-Phoneme-Real-and-Nonsense-Words

By the way, if you’re not usually in my Phonics group but you would like to do this activity, then that would be great.

Year 2 – Important Information

Dear parents and carers of children in Year 2,

Further to our communications today, we want to update you.

We have spent the day carrying out a thorough investigation and working alongside the Health Protection Hub.

In light of our investigation and information gathered via contact tracing, we have decided to close the Year 2 bubble from tomorrow for 14 days.

This means that all pupils in Year 2 will be required to self-isolate from now until 8.30am on 8th December.

Please disregard any communications that you have received today from school regarding your child coming back to school tomorrow and do not bring your child into school. Work will be set via our school website. Please contact us if you have concerns.

If your child shows any symptoms, please follow the national guidance given.

We appreciate this may cause some inconvenience, however we must follow the policy and procedures that we have been advised to.

Thank you for all of your support so far.

Kind regards

Miss Cook

Dear Parents/Carers,

You will have undoubtedly have heard that unfortunately we have had our first positive case in Year 2.

One of the classes will be required to self-isolate until the 8th December. We have been working very hard with the Health Protection Hub looking at contact tracing.

Please remember…

The most common symptoms of coronavirus (COVID 19) are recent onset of:

For most people, coronavirus (COVID-19) will be a mild illness. Most people with coronavirus have at least 1 of these symptoms.
If your child does develop symptoms, you can seek advice from NHS 111 at https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/check-if-you-have-coronavirus-symptoms/ or by phoning 111.

Spellings and times tables

Don’t forget that you can also practise this weeks spellings and times tables at home too.

Spellings

This week in spellings we are looking at contractions.  A contraction is a word that has been shortened from combining two bigger words. An apostrophe is a punctuation mark used in the place of letters taken out of a word.

Can you spot the contractions in this video?

A copy of the spellings can be found here:

Contraction spellings week 4

Times Tables

A game we play at school to practise our times tables is Hit the Button  https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button

Alternatively you could complete one of the worksheets below.

x2 sheet x3 sheet x5 sheet x 10 sheet

If you have forgotten which times tables you are working on then please email Mrs Thomas or Mrs Horler on newdale.year2team@taw.org.uk
