Year 2 – Wednesday’s Home Learning

After your daily reading;

Choose a book.

Look through the book for sentences that include commas. They might be used to break up a longer sentence, e.g.;

Sam went to the park with her dad, she looked around for a long time, but she couldn’t find her friends.

Commas can also be used in a list, e.g.;

Ella went to the shops to buy pens, a ball, new shoes, socks and some cards.

Remember, commas indicate a slight pause, less than a full stop.

1) Copy out two sentences that include a comma, or commas.

2) Read them to a grown up – remember to include the slight pause where the comma or commas are.

3) Ask the grown ups if they can spot where the comma or commas are in each sentence.

Use another of Monday’s planners to write about the second place that you plan to visit (hopefully soon!).

Can you make today’s work even more detailed and interesting than yesterday?

Remember, 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.

Write a selection of 20 or more numbers between 0 and 100 on small bits of paper. 

Pick 4 numbers. Can you put them into order from smallest to biggest.

Think carefully about how many tens and ones are in the numbers.

Write the numbers in order from smallest to biggest:

Example: 

• 13          25         27         56     

Repeat with 4 or 5 new numbers.

Challenge: Pick two numbers from your list of numbers and use the < (less than), > (greater than) or = equal to signs to compare the numbers. Repeat with two different numbers.  

Example: 

46 > 12

Other: 

Geography

Think about a different place you would like to visit. 

Using either the internet or any other resources you have at home, can you find out some interesting facts about that place.

Don’t forget there are some great virtual tours on the school website

How is it different or similar to the place you chose on Monday. 

Challenge- Can you write a few sentences about the similarities or differences between the two places you have investigated.
