Year 2 – Monday’s Home Learning

Year 2 Home learning for Monday 22nd June

Subject focus		What we need to learn:	How we might learn it:
English	Reading	To answer questions about what I have read?	Read the ‘History of the Circus’ sheet below. Try and read it as independently as you can. When you have read it, read and answer the 4 questions. If you do not have access to a printer, answer them straight into your work book.
English	Writing	To use and apply known sounds (phonemes)	Watch this clip of the circus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOMnn4A8mLc Today you are going to make some mind maps of all the jobs and skills that these people would need, mind map the animals you saw and mind map skills you have and the skills you would like to learn. Remember to use your sounds when sounding out any new or unfamiliar words. We will need these mind maps later in the week.
Maths		To use and apply Mathematical knowledge in real life situations.	The circus is coming to town! Today your challenge is to calculate bus fares for your trip to the circus. Below you will see a bus price list. There are some questions below. There is no need to print anything unless you want to. On paper, you can write the question number – write out the calculation – work out and write the answer. Addition – the biggest number always comes last Subtraction – the biggest number always comes first / the smallest number always comes last) – did you get these correct from last Thursday’s Maths?
Other:		To follow a series of instructions	Each session this week we will be building up our key skills that could be used for circus activities such as coordination, flexibility, stamina and balance. Today we will be making our first piece of circus equipment to use tomorrow – juggling balls! Follow this video to find out how to make them! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gL3Pg1ThiW0
