Year 2 – Monday’s Home Learning

This week we are going to be carrying on with thinking about fluency in our reading. 

Discuss the meaning of the word from last week’s work. Ask them to again choose a book that is familiar to them but not the same one as last week. As last week ask them to read a page (or more dependent on the book chosen) and focus on reading fluently. Explain we will now read the same page for a second time but this time, we should be more fluent, as we have practiced. Continue to read the book but focusing on fluency. If a sentence or page does not sound fluent then go back and practice again. 

This week we are going to be focusing on describing a character from a traditional tale. This is a story that has been around a long time e.g three little pigs, little red riding hood or three billy goats gruff. You might want to think back to some of the characters from last week’s work in Each Peach Pear Plum. 

Today’s challenge is to find a story that includes that character and to read all about them. You can either look at books you might already have or you could look on the internet.

You might even find some on Youtube! 

Remember with traditional tales there will be multiple versions of the same story. How many versions can you find with your character in?

Once you have read your story. Discuss what the character is like. Are they good or bad? What do they look like?

What can you remember about telling the time?

Please remember – always have a grown up with you when you use Internet resources – keep safe online.

This term we would have been visiting the SeaCity Exhibition in Southampton where the Titanic Museum is. We can still visit the museum by watching this virtual tour.
