Year 2 Home Learning Challenges - Tuesday 14th April

Good Morning,

Here are today’s English and Maths learning challenges. Don’t forget to check the weekly challenges for your other learning. I can’t wait to hear from you all.

Phonics

Access the RWI sessions below. All the children would benefit from accessing the set 3 sounds lesson, however some might also benefit from the other sessions.

Set 1 Speed Sounds at 9.30 am
Set 2 Speed Sounds at 10.00 am

Reading

Continue reading and quizzing on books using the Accelerated Reading tabs in the ‘How to help your child’ section.

Also if you missed my blog before Easter, I have also signed all of the children up for a new reading resource called ‘Epic!’ reading. This resource is great as you can search for books depending on your child’s ZPD reading level and then you can access a quiz straight after reading the ebook. More information about how to use the resource can be found in the ‘How to help your child’ section. If you are interested in accessing the resource, please send me an email - l.woodend@ourladystarofthesea.lancs.sch.uk and I will then be able to send you an invitation link for you to create an account.

English

I thought that I would try something different for English this week. Purple Mash has a brilliant resource called ‘Serial Mash’ which we now have access to. This week all of the English tasks will be based on a story called ‘Max and the pirates of Puddleton Bay’ which I have set in the children’s ‘to dos’ on Purple Mash each day. By clicking the ‘to do’, you will have access to that day’s chapter and then other activities linked to what the children have read.

Read Chapter 1 and complete the activities

There are however, other activities linked to the chapter that I haven’t set as ‘to dos’. If you would like to access these, including some great spelling, punctuation and grammar activities, simple log into Purple Mash and click on ‘Serial Mash’. Then click ‘Diamonds’ and then find this week’s story ‘Max and the pirates of Puddleton Bay’. Here you will find the extra activities not included in your child’s ‘to dos’. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Let me know how you get on!

Maths

Please access:

Summer Term - Week 1 - ‘Lesson 1 - Find three quarters’ - by clicking here:

https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-2/

Watch the video and have a go at the activities. Remember, you don’t need to print the activities if you are unable to - work through them from the screen and record your answers in your maths books.

SumDog

Today’s task - Calculate with money within £1

Also, if you haven’t already done so, please do complete your maths, spelling and reading training (found in the tasks section). This ensures that your child’s learning is given at the correct level, so please ensure that your child completes these independently.

IXL

If you have time and want to complete even more learning, see how much of your IXL you can complete! Choose to complete sections that you haven’t already completed.

Year 2 Home Learning Challenges for the week - Week Beginning 14.4.20

Good Morning Year 2!

I hope you are all well and had a truly wonderful Easter spending time together as a family. I hope that you also found time to pray in amongst all of that chocolate eating, and took time out to think about Jesus’ sacrifice for us at this time of year.

Are you ready for a new term of learning? I can’t quite believe that we have reached the Summer term! I am missing you all greatly and I am still hoping that we will get some time together before the end of the year. Please keep up that brilliant enthusiasm you all had before the Easter break, you were all working so hard. I can’t wait to receive photographs and updates of your first week back to learning.

Just as I did the week before we broke up, I will be posting English and Maths tasks daily, but other curriculum areas are posted below for you to dip in and out of as you please throughout the week. However, they should all be completed by Friday, ready for a new week of learning. I have attached a PDF version for you to access any links, and have also included the Geography and Science PDFs underneath.

Have a great week and continue to amaze your families with your focus and determination.

Stay safe,

Miss Woodend

Once you’ve completed you maths it is time to settle down to our new class novel. We are going to “close” read “Kensuke’s Kingdom” by Michael Morpurgo. You may have a copy at home or you may like to download it as an e-book. If not-you can follow a chapter at a time with me as I create PDF’s for you. Please watch the film today- once I have read the first two paragraphs and we have collected questions then you can go on and read it yourself or continue reading along with me on the film. Once you have read chapter 1 complete the downloadable questions and complete in your book. If you can print them out do so and then - using a double page glue them on one side and answer the questions on the other.

A Happy Easter to you all

Happy Easter to you all!

It feels very strange that we break up today for Easter. We hope you have a lovely time with your families. There will be a list of fun activities you can dip in to to stop yourselves from being bored!

A New resource for reading online! (with quizzes!)

EPIC READING - Let’s keep growing a love of reading over Easter!

I am very excited because I have found a new reading resource for your child to use - Epic Reading. Epic reading can be used online or on the app. It has a huge selection of ebooks, completely free and the best thing is…you can find books using your child’s ZPD level!

This is brilliant as it means your child can read books that accurately match their reading level. There are also lots of quizzes to do. It’s super easy to set up, using your email.

If you would like to get involved, please email me on a.lyons@ourladystarofthesea.lancs.sch.uk. I will then link your email to your child’s profile so that you can access the books at home. Miss Hornby has also asked if in the email you send, you can give permission for us to add your email to Texts to Parents; it would be very handy to have your emails saved on our system.

If you are wanting to use this resource, please check back on Monday. Mrs Lyons is going to create short video explaining how to use the website/app which will be found in the ‘How to help your child’ section and I will send the invites to your emails when I have them.

Year 3 Friday 3rd April Photos from your Learning from Home

Thank you for all of your lovely photos. We love receiving them and hope that you all like looking at them too.

It’s great to see so much learning going on and to see how much care you are taking when completing all of your work. Remember to keep it neat and to make sure that your handwriting is carefully joined up. We will definitely be giving some pen points out when we get back to school!

Reception home learning for Friday 3rd April

Hopefully you have all been collecting lots of empty boxes, rolls bottle lids and more. Today I want you to use your creativity to create a robot/monster/vehicle/friend. Please then send me photographs of your creations. I will upload these at the end of the day so that you can have a look and see what your friends have made.

Don’t forget to finish any tasks that you might have missed this week. Along with plenty of reading and enjoying of stories.

• Sum dog

• Purple mash

• Oxford Owl Reader

• Joe Wick does PE

I look forward to seeing your pictures,

Miss Bassett.
