Year 2 – Thursday’s Home Learning

Year 2 Home learning for Thursday 14th May

Subject focus What we need to learn: How we might learn it:
English  Reading To express likes and dislikes about a text. 

Either using ‘The True Story of the 3 little Pigs’ or another book they have read to you, ask the children to discuss which parts of the story they liked and why. Are there any parts that they didn’t enjoy? Why? Did they enjoy the story as a whole? Why/why not?

Again, children may write ideas or you can make it a discussion based activity. 

Writing To write in full sentences as a character. 

Using their mind maps from yesterday, children will be writing a ‘diary entry’ as Mr Wolf today. (They should all be familiar with what a diary is, but worth recapping!)

They will write as though they are Mr Wolf (first person) and will need to include:

  • How long they’ve been in jail and what it has been like for them
  • How they’ve changed and whether they are sorry
  • How they feel about being in ‘jail’
  • Possibly recap about what really happened
  • What they are hoping for in the future

Here is a starter you can use for some ideas or to carry on from:

“Dear Diary,

This has been the worst few years of my life! I have been in jail for ten years now and each day feels longer than the day before….”

Maths To solve problems involving money. Solve these problems involving money.

  1. Mr Wells buys 3 footballs all costing 25p. How much money does he need?

What coins can he use to make that amount?

  1. Mr McEvoy buys a new pair of clippers for £1.60. How many different ways can you make that amount?
  2. Mrs Marshman buys some pears for 70p. She pays with a £1 coin. How much change will she get?
  3. Mrs Knapp is buying some toys for her children. They cost £1.00, 50p and £2.10.

How much does she spend altogether? 

Challenge – How much change will she get from £5

  1. Mrs Webb has four 20p coins. She buys a bottle of water for 50p. How much money will she have left?
  2. Mrs Norris has four coins. She has 50p. What coins must she have?
  3. Mis Wright gives her friend Miss Turner 50p. She is left with 40p. How much did she have to begin with? 
  4. Mr Sommerville buys some screws for 34p and some nails for 41p. He gets 25p change. He gave the shopkeeper two coins. What were they?

Challenge – email an interesting fact about one of the oceans to your class teacher!

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.
