Year 2 – Tuesday’s Home Learning

After your daily reading;

Choose a book.

1) Write a list of five words that you do know the meaning of.

2) Your challenge is to explain the meaning of each word to someone else, without saying the word. If you are successful at explaining clearly, the other person should be able to identify each word. Remember – do not say the actual word.

Example – This is usually grey, when you mix it you need to add water and sand. You must not eat it. It is used to hold bricks together or to make buildings. It goes very hard after a few hours (if you know the answer, include it in your emails to your class teacher!).

You will need – a pencil and paper (lined paper if you have it).

Today, we’re off (in our imaginations!) on our first adventure. Choose one of your planning frames from yesterday – where are you going today?

Your task is to turn your planning into complete sentences. What grammar features can you include in today’s writing? Remember to write in the correct tense. If you haven’t been to the place, use your imagination (or the Internet, with adult supervision) to help with descriptions.

Target – at least one detailed sentence for each of the four rectangles on your plan. When you have finished, read your work aloud to yourself (or a grown up). Check, edit, and improve it if you need to.

If you have time, draw and colour a picture of the place you want to visit.

Example;

When it’s safe to do so, I want to go with my family to Walpole Park in Gosport. I want to go there because my cousins live near there. I’ll go with my Mum, Dad, Nan, my sister Emma and my brother Terry. We will get the bus to The Hard, then get the ferry to Gosport, because the harbour is between Portsmouth and Gosport. When we get off the ferry, we’ll walk through the town to the park. The park is huge. There are lots of sports pitches, but also trees so that we can sit in the shade. My Nan likes playing tennis, so I’d like to play this with her. I usually beat her. If we get hungry, we can eat some sandwiches. We could also go with a grown up to the shops if we need any other things to eat. When we go, I hope it will be a lovely day and I’m sure we’ll have lots of fun.

1. Write the number as a numeral
2. Write the number in words
3. Draw the dienes (tens and ones) to show this number as a jotting
4. Write a number sentence for that number.

Challenge: Make a different number sentence.

Example: 

1.24             2. twenty-four           3.                              4. 20 + 4 = 24        CH: 10 + 14 = 24

Repeat the above, with at least two more two digit numbers. 

Other: 

PE

1. Star jump  – Jump in a star shape, bringing your hands together and then down by your side.
2. Hops – Stand on one leg and jump
3. Skips – You can use a rope, if you have one, or just skip on the spot.
4. Frog jumps – Crouch in a frog position then leap up, landing back in frog position.

Challenge – Repeat each action and see if you can beat your score.
