Monday 27th April 2020 Home Learning Tasks
Good morning Year 2!
We hope you have all had a lovely and restful weekend. Just wanted to remind you that making mistakes is normal and perfectly fine. It’s all a part of learning to find the best way to do something and it shows you are trying to find your way.
Here are your learning tasks for today:
English Reading
You may have heard about Captain Tom Moore who has raised a lot of money for the NHS. We would like you to read this piece about Captain Tom and answer the questions about him.
English Writing.
Can you write a letter to Captain Tom about his fundraising. What would you say to him? Remember to think about how we lay out a letter and the kind of language we use when writing to somebody we don’t know.
Maths Basic Skills.
Can you draw the shapes, read the fraction and colour in the right number of pieces. It might help you to write the fraction in numbers before colouring them in.
Think back to our learning in class on fractions.
Whole is all of an amount or shape.
Quarter is when we share a whole into four equal parts. We write one quarter as 1/4.
Third is when we share a whole into three equal parts. We write one third as 1/3.
Half is where we share a whole into 2 equal parts. We write one half as 1/2.
The bottom number (denominator) tells you how many equal pieces your whole should be split into. The top number (numerator) tells you how many pieces you should colour to find the fraction.
Maths Main Learning Task.
Can you have a go at drawing these 3D shapes? Can you complete the information to describe the properties of 3D shapes?
Think back to our learning in class. Remember that in Year 2 we use the word vertices instead of corners.
Common Exception Word Spellings.
These words are very important to help us make our writing sparkle. Instead of handwriting this week we are going to practice reading and spelling these as it is important we practice these.
Can you read these 12 words to whoever is helping with your learning.
Can you copy these words twice, having a good look at the spellings as you write them.
Can you now have a go at spelling the words. Get your helper to read the word to you so that you can spell it and see how many you can get right.
door mind
floor behind
poor child
because children
find wild
kind climb
Phonics.
It is important that we practice spelling phonetic sounds in all of the different ways they can be written. It helps us to read and write words that they are in several times so you should follow all the steps to help you practice.
We are going to focus on the sound ‘ae’. This is pronounced as ‘ay’ as in play.
There are 8 different spellings of this sound. This sound can be spelt as
ai as in rain
ay as in play
a-e, (the spelling is split in the word) as in make
ey as in they
ea as in great
eigh as in eight
ei as in vein
a as in apron
Can you read these words with the sound ‘ae’
plate, greater, grain, Sunday, they, sleigh, baby, rein
Can you write the words below thinking about which spelling of the sound they have. Ask an adult to read the word for you to so you can try to spell it. Remember there is one word for each spelling of the sound so you can’t use the same spelling more than once.
train, make, steak, neigh, veins, grey, stray, angel
Can you sort these words into the correct boxes? Look carefully at the spellings of the sound in each word. You might want to draw the table to help you.
History.
You’ve heard of the Great fire of London but did you know Northampton had a great fire too? Can you do some research to find out some interesting information about the fire of Northampton that you could share with us? You can present this however you would like to. It might be a leaflet, a poster or a fact file.
Story time.
Can you complete another one of Bella’s reading challenges or can you read a story where there is a hero who does something great like Captain Tom Moore?
Remember to leave us a comment on the blog to share your learning or you can email it to us at yeartwo@lingsprimary.org.uk. Get in touch with us via the email if you have any questions about today’s learning. We look forward to seeing your work!
