Year 2 Week beginning 22nd February

Monday 22nd 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!

Click here to share your work with us.

We will be focusing on 2D shapes this week. Watch the first video below up to 2:27 to recap basic 2D shapes. Then watch my video.

Click here for the worksheet task set in the video. This should take around 25 minutes.

Click here for the answers so that you can tick or fix your work. Don’t be put off by any mistakes you made – we learn from our errors!

If you’d prefer to play a game to develop your learning today, click on the link below. This will take you to the BBC Bitesize website. There is another video to watch, and then a couple of games to play.

It’s a Monday! Which means 10 minutes on Times Table Rock Stars is on our timetable today. Click the link to the right to access the website.

We suggest you try the RWI activities listed below for your group. However, this does not stop you from trying any of the other activities too!

PINK /ORANGE Speed sound reading and speed sound spelling. You can also do Word Time and Hold A Sentence. Take a short break between each video.

YELLOW Speed sound reading and Speed sound spelling. You can also do Word Time and Hold a Sentence. Take a short break between each video.

BLUE/GREY Speed sound reading and Speed sound spelling. You can also do Reading longer words and Hold A Sentence. Take a short break between each video.

ALL GROUPS Watch the Scratch garden video on contractions.

OFF RWI GROUP Watch my video below on how to write contractions. Then have a go at the sheet. If you don’t want to print the sheet, write in your workbook. The work is also in the video, so you might prefer to pause the video and write in your book. This activity should take 30 minutes.

The answer sheet for the contractions work is here. Look at your answers closely. Self-mark and tick or fix where you may have made a mistake. The most common mistake is not putting the apostrophe in the right place. Are yours in the right places?

ALL GROUPS can have a go at this join today. Follow the video and pause it so that you can practise a line of each join or word. This should only take 10 minutes, so practise a little more each day.

We now have our VIRTUAL LIBRARY page. Here you have access to a range of other texts to read. You can choose from fiction or non-fiction. If you choose a book that you like, but might be a little too hard, ask if someone else can share it with you.

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

Click on the ‘Topic’ sign above to see today’s topic lessons.

We all need a little motivation from time to time, especially after a week off (and even more so during the covid crisis!) Instead of a story today, here’s a pep talk from Kid President to remind us that we are “so much more than our mistakes.”

  2. Hi there everyone, I’ve just had some keywords spelling homework handed in, but there is no name on it. Just pop a comment in the box if it belongs to you, please.

    1. I’m sorry to hear that mom has not been well. I hope she feels better today. Do what you can today, but don’t stress over trying to do two day’s work.

  27. Good morning. I received a school text to click on link for neve to be considered a hero homeworker star or similar, however I cannot click on the link on my age old phone. Does limited technology and finances here determine Neve’s progess and stats?!

    1. Absolutely not. Each time she logs on to the virtual school (like she has just done) we keep a record, and each time she sends in work (a photo emailed or uploaded to the cloud) it is again kept in her file and a record is kept of it being handed in. Just keep doing what you have been doing and leave the rest to us!

      1. Hi miss I had Joe wickes on TV and listened to his quiz whilst I was practising to play on bop it. I learnt on Joe wickes that the person who invented the phone was some one that has a same name as me

  41. Morning Lewis is ready to start work!
    We did cut shapes out yesterday an fold them in different ways. Then did the shapes an sides in the work book.

    1. Good morning, Lewis. Thanks for the feedback – you did just the right thing in cutting out the shapes. If you are anything like me, you have to see the shape and work with it practically to really begin to understand it. (All regular shapes have the same number of lines of symmetry as the number of their sides – I think it’s fascinating!)
