Year 2 Week beginning 1st February

Tuesday 2nd February

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’s learning will focus on identifying half and quarter of a given shape. Watch the video below up to 3:45, then watch my video. You’ll need some strips of A4 paper (torn neatly out of your workbook, if needed) for today’s lesson.

If you have a printer, click here for today’s task. You may choose to copy the images from the worksheet into your workbook but if not, create halves and quarters with your strips of paper, just like I did in the video. Save your fraction strips for Thursday’s lesson.

Alternatively, spend ten minutes on the game below.

For a greater depth task, click here.

We suggest you do the activities for your RWI group, but there is nothing stopping you from accessing the other activities too.

PINK/ORANGE Speed sound reading and Speed sound spelling.

YELLOW Speed sound reading and Speed sound spelling.

BLUE/GREY Speed sound reading and Speed sound spelling.

ALL GROUPS Today you are going to be reading The Queen’s Handbag. Watch the video below and try to follow the text in this link (if you can print it). If you can’t print it out, the text is on the screen.

OFF RWI group – Watch the instruction video to find out how to do your next activity where you will plot the route the Queen’s handbag took around the country. Access the map here, or use the map on screen and plan the route with your finger.

Watch the spelling video below. Pause it at the end to find the root words you need to add the suffix -ed to. Write them in your workbook. If you can’t use the video look at these sheets.

Here are the correct spellings for the verbs with -ed added. Tick or fix your own work.

Carry on with your daily reading by choosing a book (at the right stage for your child) from the Oxford Owl library. This is the link to the information you need to access Oxford Owl. Once you are onto the website you can choose a book at your RWI phonics level OR from your book band level.

We now also have our VIRTUAL LIBRARY page. Here you have access to a range of other texts to read.

Click here to see a range of ideas for questions you can ask your child about the text they are reading.

You might want to read another of Steve Antony’s books – The Queen’s Lift-off.
