Year 2 – Monday’s Home Learning

After your daily reading;

Choose a book.

1) Write a list of ten verbs found in the text. Remember, verbs are ‘doing’ words (e.g. walk, read, write).

2) Play a game with someone – explain the meaning of the word (but don’t say the word). Are they able to say which word you’re explaining?

E.g. – you hold a pen or pencil and make marks on a piece of paper that others can read.

You will need – a pencil and a sheet of paper.

What games have you played during the Easter break? Have you played any games outside or in the garden? What have you played inside? Maybe it was a sports game, a board game, or something else like an exercise routine

Another idea is to make something today. It could be something to eat, a junk model (from card, paper, plastic pots), a craft activity, or a LEGO model.

1) If you can, do the activity again.

2) As you work through the game / activity, make notes about what you are doing (if doing the activity again is not possible, think it through in your head, or talk it through with someone else). Make sure your notes are in the correct order. Just write key words, not complete sentences. Try to make / divide the doing part into eight stages.

3) When completed – tidy away!

4) Read carefully through your notes – are they in the correct order? Have you included verbs (doing words) at each stage?

5) Can you add an adverb to some of the stages of what you did (remember – an adverb describes a verb and often ends with -ly, e.g. write neatly, run quickly).

Keep your notes safe, you will need them tomorrow!

To develop fluency in addition.

To choose the best addition strategy for me.

To solve addition problems.

Today you will be practising your adding skills.

For the first 5 questions you will need to add the numbers in your head. You might want to hold the bigger number in your head and add or or partition to make 10 and add on.

1. 7 + 5 =
2. 12 + 8 =
3. 9 + 6 =
4. 16 +10 =
5. 14 + 11 =

For the next 5 questions choose the best adding strategy for you. You might want to partition the numbers, draw the Dienes, use a number line or the column method..

1. 25 + 14 =
2. 32 + 16 =
3. 45 + 22 = 
4. 37 + 15 = 
5.  26 + 16 =

For the next 3 questions read them carefully. Write out the calculation. Decide on the best way for you and solve it – remember to show how you worked it out.

1. Mrs Marshman had 18 Easter eggs and Mrs Knapp had 22. How many eggs did they have altogether?
2. Mr Wells planted 10 courgette seeds, 14 tomato seeds and 16 lettuce seeds, how many seeds has he planted?
3. When he went shopping Mr McEvoy bought 24 packets of salt and vinegar crisps and 32 packets of cheese and onion crisps, how many packets of crisps did he buy?

PE/Games

Use this time to play your game or activity linked to English. 

Remember as you work through the game / activity to make notes about what you are doing Make sure your notes are in the correct order. Just write key words, not complete sentences. Try to make / divide the doing part into eight stages.
