Year 2 – Wednesday’s Home Learning

Year 2 Home learning for Wednesday 22nd April

Subject focus What we need to learn: How we might learn it:
English  Reading To identify adjectives in a text.

After your daily reading;

Choose a book.

1) Write a list of ten adjectives found in the text. Remember, adjectives are describing words – they often describe a noun (e.g. red flower, huge tree ).

2) Play a game with someone – explain the meaning of the word (but don’t say the word). Are they able to say which word you’re explaining?

E.g. – the colour of leaves in autumn.

Writing To write instructions – first four.

Read through Tuesday’s work. Add / improve / correct anything that you can.

Go back to Monday’s notes. Today you are going to write the instructions. Read through your notes, then read each instruction (as a complete sentence) to someone. Can they understand your instructions? Do they make sense? Do they have enough detail? The listener might have some ideas on how the instructions could be improved (or they might not understand – if you have to explain something further, you need to add this to your notes).

When you are happy that your notes are clear, begin to write your instructions. A target for today is to write four clear, detailed instructions. Each should make sense to someone who has never done this thing before.

Number each instruction, start each instruction on a new line. Remember – you are writing in the present tense. When you have completed the four instructions, read them out loud to yourself, or someone else. Do they make sense? Are they clear? Improve or edit if you need to.

Maths

To develop fluency in multiplication.

To choose the best multiplication strategy for me.

To solve multiplication problems. 

Today you will be practising your multiplying skills.

For the first 5 questions you will need to multiply the numbers in your head. You might want to skip count.(Remember we have been learning to skip count in x2, x5 and x10)

  1. 3 x 2 =
  2. 10 x 3 =
  3. 2 x 5 =
  4. 2 x 10 =
  5. 4 x 2  =

For the next 5 questions choose the best multiplying strategy for you. You might want to skip count, draw arrays or do jottings.

  1. 5 x 5 =
  2. 6 x 2 =
  3. 8 x 10 =
  4. 9 x 5 =
  5.  7 x 5 =

For the next 3 questions read them carefully. Write out the calculation. Decide on the best way for you and solve it – remember to show how you worked it out.

  1. Mrs Marshman gave 6 children 10 pencils each, how many pencils did she give out?
  2. Mr Wells had 10 sets of 4 books, how many books does he have?
  3. Mr McEvoy baked 6 groups of 6 rolls, how many rolls did he bake?
