Year 2 - Wednesday's Home Learning - Langstone Infant Academy

Year 2 Home learning for Wednesday 8th July – Weather and Seasons

Subject focus		What we need to learn:	How we might learn it:
English	Reading	To read a range of genres. To answer questions about what I have read.	Look at the ‘Terrible Tornadoes’ reading activity below. Read it through as independently as you can and answer the questions next to it. Check your answers on the answer page. If you do not have a printer answer these questions straight into your workbook.
English	Writing	To write a coherent narrative. (Ending)	Reread your story so far. Is there anything you would like to improve? Make any changes or corrections you need to. Today we will be writing the ending of our story. Look back at your plan and discuss with a grown up how your story is going to end. Write up the ending of your story. Don’t forget to include: Capital letters and full stops Question marks or exclamation marks Commas in a list Clauses to make your sentences longer (and, but, because, when)
Maths		To collect data and make a block graph.	1) Today on your pyramids, the numbers are in the middle. Follow the same rules as earlier this week to complete them (there are two below). 2) There is a blank block graph below. Your task today is to use yesterday’s tally chart to complete the graph. If you do not have access to a printer, use a pencil and ruler to create your own blank graph. An example of a completed block graph is to the left. Don’t forget to take a photograph of your completed graph to send to your class teacher. 3) Have a look at Education City – Y2 – Maths – activities – 8 Statistics. There are some fun data and graph activities there. Enjoy!
Other:		To identify the four seasons.	First update your Lagos and Portsmouth weather chart for the day. Now we are going to play some games to help us remember the names and features of the 4 seasons. Below is a board game for you to play. If you do not have a printer, just roll the dice and read the question. If a player can answer the question, they get a point. Keep a total of the points and then carry on tracking where you got to on the screen. When the first player reaches the end, see what the scores are. The player with the highest score wins. If you would like to play another seasons game, use your education login to search the ‘Seasons to be Cheerful’ game in ‘Science – KS1’.
