Year 2 – Tuesday’s Home Learning

Ask the children to tell you what fluency means. Which words on the poster did we struggle with yesterday? What did they mean? Revisit them. (Poster below)

Today we are going to re-read the poster but focus on reading more fluently. Remind them it is not a race and your childs reading should still be clear!

Using the poster to help you, split an A4 page into 4 or 6. In each box draw a stage of washing your hands and write a sentence to go with it underneath your picture. 

Remember to think carefully about the order of washing your hands. What do you need to do first? 

When you write your sentence underneath your picture in each square, remember to start your sentence with a capital letter and end it with a full stop. 

Here is sentence one to get you started.

First turn on the taps and get your hands wet. 

This week you are going to continue to use your knowledge of Maths to play games and complete tasks. Here are today’s activities;

1) Choose a number between 10 and 20. Write it down. Label if it is odd or even.

2) Use knowledge of number bonds to 20 to create a calculation with your chosen number as the answer.

3) Label under each number if it is odd or even – example

My chosen number is 15 / my calculation is                    10      +     5    =    15

                                                                                        even       odd        odd

4) Repeat the above process for two more calculations. Challenge yourself with your number choice – can you use some of these numbers to make calculations and label the odd / even? – 47, 52, 37, 29

5) Below are some symbol challenge questions – crack the codes to find out the answers!  Try the first challenge, only go onto the rest if you feel confident.

6) If you have time, log onto Education City – go to Y2 – Maths – activities and play one or two of the games.

Look at these songs from yesterday again

Can you search for any other hand washing songs? 

Make sure you stay internet safe. 

Today you have a choice.

1. Can you think of how these songs could be improved? Could they add more detail? Think of some other lyrics that you would add to help people wash their hands well. (Eg, “Wash your thumbs do, do, do ,do…”) 

2. Create your own new hand washing song. You can use a familiar tune to help you and write your own words. For example “This is the way we wash our hands, wash our hands, wash our hands” to the tune of ‘Here we go round the mulberry bush’.
