Year 2 Home learning for Wednesday 13th May

Subject focus		What we need to learn:	How we might learn it:
English	Reading	To discuss new vocabulary and phrases.	Re listen to The True Story of the 3 little Pigs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vB07RfntTvw Discuss any unfamiliar or new words and phrases, for example can they explain these meanings: A ‘great sneeze’ ‘My side of the story’ ‘Maybe it’s because of our diet’ ‘When the cops drove up’ ‘I was framed’ Again you can discuss these or children are more than welcome to write their ideas down in sentences.
English	Writing	To discuss how a character may be feeling.	Today we are going to make a mind map of how Mr Wolf is feeling now. Look at how he has changed in the pictures, from the beginning of the story to the end. Discuss: How long do you think he has been in prison? What makes you think that? Mind map what life is like for Mr Wolf now. You can record your ideas as notes. We will use our mind maps to help us tomorrow. You can use these ideas to help you get started and then use your imaginations for the answers:
Maths		To make amounts using different coins and to begin to give change..	Set up your shop from yesterday. You can change what you sell if you want. Today you are going to be thinking about giving change. That is when someone gives too much money and the shopkeeper has to give some back. Think what operation it is you will be using? (Subtraction) This time try and buy the item with one coin that is of a higher value. E.g if the item is 50p pay with a £1. How much change will you need? 100 – 50 = 50 so you will need 50p change. Hint – if you keep your prices less than £1 then you can always pay with a pound and work out the change from 100p. Keep shopping and recording down the subtraction calculation you are doing Challenge – change the amounts of the items to more challenging numbers e.g 62p, 76p and now try to calculate change from a £1, £2 or £5.
