Year 2 Week beginning 1st February

Monday 1st February

This week is Children’s Mental Health Week. We have Wellbeing pages on our Virtual school, or you can click here to get to the page for ideas to help you.

Good news! We now have a place where you can send your work to us. When you finish a lesson, please take a photograph of it and submit by click on the ‘Super Work’ image below. Make sure your name is written on the work clearly. We look forward to seeing what you have done today!

This week in maths, we will be exploring fractions. For today’s lesson, have a few pieces of paper ready to fold, tear or cut up to help you to explore the idea of ‘equal parts.’ Neatly tear some pages out the back of your workbook if you need to.

Watch, and join in with, the video below first (ignore it when it directs you to answer some questions.) Then watch my video.

Click here for today’s worksheet. If you can’t print the work, then focus on answering 2, 3, 5 and 7 in your workbook. Or, and this would be so much better, try making your own equal parts as I did in my video. Share three ways you have done this. It could be with paper, coins or even food!
