Year 2

Week commencing 06.07.20

Hello Year 2. We hope that you all had a lovely weekend. You are all doing a superb job at working from home. We appreciate that it can be tricky so thank you to all of you for your continued support. It has been lovely to see lots of you giving the maths PowerPoints a go! If you have any queries, please don't hesitate to get in touch. 

Many thanks, 

Miss Vincent and Mrs Markham

Maths:

As part of our continued home learning, we are going to be creating some maths PowerPoint Presentations. They follow the same structure as our usual lessons in school would have done. We spent quite a bit of time on multiplication in school before we finished but have not done as much on division. Due to this, we have decided to start here and have worked through division at a slower pace with more detail. Once you have completed the division unit, you can begin on fractions. When we upload a new PowerPoint, you could swap it for one of the maths tasks set on the usual weekly document. 

Every child is different and so one PowerPoint may stretch to 2 or 3 days learning or you may feel that your child has completed it quickly. Both of these (and anything in between) are okay. Please note that these PowerPoints will follow on from each other and so are best if completed in the order that they are uploaded. If you have any queries, please get in touch.

Many thanks

Oxford Owl:

We have set up an account with the Oxford Owl reading book website. See the letter below for class logins and how to use it!

Many thanks,

Miss Vincent and Mrs Markham

Reading:

Hello Year 2! We have been reading our favourite picture books whilst at home. Mrs Markham has been reading Franklin and Luna Go to the Moon by Jen Campbell to her horse Gloria and her dog Daphne. 

Miss Vincent has been reading Piggybook and Gorilla by Anthony Browne. She has been comparing the two books to find things that are similar in each one. Could you have a go at doing this with your own two books?

MUSIC

The Easter sing-a-long and future fortnightly songs with activities will now be in the Singing for All area of the website so head there for new songs and matching activities fortnightly.

As well as these songs we are also going to be offering you some music tuition from our skilled music providers: The Love Music Trust.  These too will be in the Singing for All area of the website.  There is a KS1 session and a KS2 session weekly.

On top of all of that, follow the links for the daily ‘Big Sing’ that will also be provided for you by The Love Music Trust.

Remember, do as much or as little as you like but singing is good for the soul and something everybody can join in with.

Have fun!

Mrs Gadbury
