Year 2 Home Learning – Thursday 11th February

Good morning Year 2!

It’s another day of home learning.

We’ve seen some great work that has been emailed to us, and we’d love to see more.

Remember we have a zoom register at 10.20am every morning. It is important you log in to this on time so that we can say good morning to each other, complete an online activity as well as explaining our work for the day. A link for this has been sent to the parent email you have registered at school. Please email us at the Year 2 email address if you need a new link sending to you.
Please bring paper and a pencil/pen to the zoom register.

Please remember to comment on the blog when you have completed your tasks, and to email us your completed work so we can see what you have been doing and support you if needed. Work can be emailed to yeartwo@lingsprimary.org.uk.
Have a great day and we will be waiting for you when we can all go back to school together!

Miss Duncan, Miss Battams and the rest of the Year 2 team.

 

Here is today’s home learning tasks

  • Describe the London Tube service in one sentence.
  • Which member of The Royal Family lives at Buckingham Palace?
  • Why does Tower Bridge lift up?

Remember to answer each question in full sentences. Also, try to use the conjunction because as much as you can. 

English – Writing

 

Using the information you have learnt about London imagine I have never been or heard about it before.

Why should I go there?

Using the sentence openers below try and persuade me to go.

What is there? What can I do or see? Would I like it?

-In London you can see

-When walking around you can

-On the …

Phonics

Below is Miss Mann’s Phonics lesson for Thursday. You can pause the video at anytime so that you have enough time to read, write and check your work.

Please let us know how you get on by sending your work to the Year 2 email account.

Maths

Here is Miss Mann explaining today’s maths lesson. If you need to pause or rewind the video, please do. Today’s maths lesson focusses on multiplying by 5.

 

Here are the independent tasks. If you need to watch the video again to help, please do.

Starter Activity:

Independent Tasks:

Handwriting

Warm up: Wiggle your fingers up high, down low, to the side and in front of you.
Stretch your fingers out like fireworks twelve times.
Can you write the following KS1 words at least four times? Remember to leave a finger space.

*like

*could

*should

*would

Tick your neatest formation and be proud of your handwriting. Remember, you should be practising writing these words down on paper and not typing them into the blog comments as this will not help develop your handwriting skills.
You can use these letter formations to help you write your letters correctly. This is the Kinetic Letters font that we teach in school.

 

Art

Based on your English tasks you are going to create a piece of art about London

Here are some examples.

The artist have used pencil to sketch the outlines of the famous landmarks in London.

Use your pencil to include as many landmarks as you can. You can there use your pattern work to shade/fill in to add detail.

 

 

Story

Today’s story is about a famous bear and his adventures in London.

Enjoy ‘Paddington’ by Michael Bond
