Year 2 – Monday’s Home Learning

Year 2 Home learning for Monday 11th May

Subject focus What we need to learn: How we might learn it:
English  Reading To read with increased fluency. Ask your child what the word ‘fluency / fluent’ means. Discuss the meaning together. Ask them to choose a book they are familiar with. Today we are going to practice increasing our fluency when reading. Ask them to read aloud a page to you (or more depending on the book they have chosen). Discuss how they read it, focus on parts they read well, help with any unfamiliar words and meanings. Explain we will now read the same page for a second time but this time, we should be more fluent, as we have practiced. Repeat with other pages. Remind children not to ‘race’ through but to think how their reading sounds to the person listening. 
Writing To use clauses in complete sentences. 

This week we are going to carry on thinking about traditional tales, following on from our work on ‘Each, Peach, Pear, Plum.’ Ask your child to think of any traditional tale character such as, Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, 3 Little Pigs, Big Bad Wolf, Goldilocks etc. Today we are going to imagine what that character would have in their pocket, bag or basket and why – based on what you know about that character. Draw the pocket or bag out line and then draw and label at least 3 things they may need or have in there. 

               Pocket watch—-

Now try and explain why you have chosen what you have using a clause, such as ‘because, so, but’  to extend your ideas.For example: 

‘Cinderella would need a pocket watch so that she can check the time to make sure she is home by midnight.’

‘I have given Goldilocks a hairbrush because she has long, golden hair.’

Maths

To  recognise and order coins.

Challenge- To make the amounts in different ways.

This week we are going to be looking at Money.

Make a list of all different kinds of money you know. It could be coins and notes.

If possible, can you find some of them? You may have to ask a grown up or you might have some play money. If you don’t have them, there is a printout sheet attached to this document.

Once you have the coins can you put them into the correct order. 

Challenge can you begin to think of different ways to make each amount.

E.g 5p + 5p = 10p. Can you think of 3 ways to make

  1. 10p
  2. 20p
  3. 50p
  4. £1
Other: History To find out about significant events from beyond living memory.

How much do you know about the famous ship the Titanic?

Have a look at this web site;

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z8mpfg8/articles/zng8jty

(search bbc ks2 titanic)

Read through the page and watch the videos.

Your task today is to draw, colour and label a picture of the ship. Can you label these parts – hull, funnels, bow (front), stern (back) and portholes (windows)?

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

Remember to email your child’s class teacher to let them know how you’ve got on. We’d love to see examples of what you’ve been up to.
