Year 2 Home learning for Wednesday 17th June
| Subject focus | What we need to learn: | How we might learn it: | |
| English | Reading | To give an opinion on Poetry. |
Read the poem below ‘What is Red?’ Are there any words you are unsure of? What are they? What do they mean? Do you like the poem? Why / why not? What is your favourite part? What would you improve? |
| Writing | To write a poem based on a colour. |
Today we are going to write a poem based on the structure of ‘What is Red?’ (Below) Look back over the colour mind maps that you did on Monday. Choose a colour to use as a ‘plan’ for your poem. Write a sentence for each of the noun phrases from your mind map, for example, this plan would be turned into the following:
What is Blue? Blue is a clear blue sky on a beautiful summer day. Blue is the glistening sea shining in front of me. Try and extend your ideas with more detail so you don’t end up with very short sentences. |
|
| Maths |
To solve missing number problems.
|
1) Write down the numbers in the five times table, up to fifty. Underneath draw two circles, label one odd, the other even. Still using the five times tables numbers, write each in the correct circle. Ask an adult to check! 2) Do you remember the symbols questions you looked at last week? The ones on the left are some of the ones you looked at. There are some new symbols calculations below. They are labelled A and B. Your target is to do one set of these, but you can do more if you want to. 3) If you have time, have a look at one or two Education City – Year 2 – Maths – Activities. |

| Other: | To investigate pointillism techniques. |
Pointillism is a style of art that was developed in the 1800s that uses small dots of different colours to create an image. George Seurat was a very famous artist who used this style to create some very famous pictures. Have a look at some of George Seurat’s work. Today, you are going to use this style to mix some colours to fill in a rainbow (template is below or draw your own) for your window. Remember what you have learnt about mixing the primary colours. For example, you can do lots of blue dots and go over with red dots and as you move back it will give the illusion of purple. Felt pens work well for this or you can use a cotton bud and paint. |

Remember to email your child’s class teacher to let them know how you’ve got on. We’d love to see examples of what you’ve been up to.
