Year 2 Home learning for Thursday 18th June
| Subject focus | What we need to learn: | How we might learn it: | |
| English | Reading |
To make improvements to my written work. To read a poem aloud. |
Re-read your own poem from yesterday. Can you see anything that you could improve? Make a ‘purple polish’ (edit and improvement) where needed. Try and read your poem to a family member thinking carefully about how you are reading it. |
| Writing | To write a colour shape poem. |
The symbol for this lock down time has been the rainbow to remind us that there is hope to come. We are going to make a shape poem that can be displayed in your window. First you need to draw an outline of a rainbow. Using your ideas from this week fill in each strand of the rainbow with some sentences about that colour. You can write them in that colour, or write them in pencil and then colour very lightly over the top – make sure people can still see the colour. When you start to fill it in, it will look a little like this.

| Maths | To solve missing number problems, some of which involve inverse operation. |
1) Tell a grown up what the golden rules are, for a) an addition calculation and b) a subtraction calculation. Grown ups – please email the children’s responses to your class teacher. The correct answers will be revealed on Monday. 2) On Monday and Tuesday this week, you looked at different types of missing number calculations. Some involve inverse (using the opposite operation to find the answer), but some involve using the same operation as the one in the question. Today’s calculations are a mixture, so you will need to decide if you use the inverse or not. Always check if your answer makes sense. If it doesn’t, you may not have used the correct operation. The questions are below. You decide whether to do bronze, silver or gold. Challenge yourself! 3) If you have time, have a look at one or two Education City – Year 2 – Maths – Activities. |

| Other: | To create my own pointillism picture. |
Today you can create your own landscape scene in the style of George Seurat. Use whichever media (pens, pencils, paints, pastels) that worked best for you. Draw a scene, animal, person or object that interests you, in pencil before adding your dots.
Think about how you can make the colours by building up the layers of primary coloured dots. |

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.
