English Writing.

This week you have been reading about Ronald the Rhino. Today we would like you to write a letter to Ronald. We would like you to tell him what makes him special. we would then like you to tell him why you are special. What special skills and talents do you have? You need to include the following:

• Capital letters, finger spaces and full stops.
• Full sentences that make sense and flow togther so that your writing is easy to read and understand.
• Plenty of details in your sentences. Remember in year 2 we need to include lots of great vocabulary and information in our writing to reach our targets.
• Your letter should include conjunctions to extend your sentences and add more information. These are words like because, and, so, if, or, but. They need to join two sentences together not just add an extra word on the end.

  This is the correct use of and as a conjunction: I wanted to go to the park and take a walk around the lake.

Maths

Something a little different today. To reach our maths targets in Year 2 we need to be able to read different scales. sometimes with the dividing measures missing. These measures can go up in 2’s, 3’s, 5’s and 10’s. Here are some for you to practice. You may need to look carefully to work out what the scales increase by.

Common Exception Words.

Here are a couple of common exception words practices for you to complete. It is really important we can read and spell these year 2 words ready for moving on into year 3.

Computing

Something a little different today. You might like to learn about and have a go at coding. Click on this link to find the task.

Remember to stay safe online and tell an adult if you see anything that upsets you or unknown people try to contact you. Also remember not to click on anything that pops up on your screen.

PE

This week is the start of the Lings Virtual Sports Day week! You can earn house points by completing tasks at home and sending your scores and videos to the year two email or to PE@lingsprimary.org,uk.
For more information, videos of each day’s task and to get your score sheet for the week, please see the separate post on the Year 2 blog page. Good luck!!

Storytime

You could read a story from the online book collection. These are the books we use in school. Your child should know what colour book band they are in. We would suggest blue or green as a starting point and choosing a higher or lower band if needed. Remember, to be considered to be reading fluently your child should be able to answer questions and show understanding of what they have just read, not just be able to read the words easily.
