Year 2 Home Learning Challenges - Thursday 14th May

Good morning Year 2.

We’re nearing the end of the week. Who’s enjoying Horrid Henry and his antics? I know I am!

Keep up the brilliant work Year 2. Only two more days until the weekend!

Phonics

I understand that the phonics videos are now repeating themselves because all of the sounds have been taught. If you feel that revisiting these sounds is worthwhile for your child, please do keep accessing the videos using the link below:

Reading

Continue reading and quizzing on books using the Accelerated Reading and Epic Reading resources. Help can be found in the ‘How to help your child’ section of my page if you need it.

Remember, you should be reading for at least half an hour each day. Also try to read both a range of fiction and non-fiction books.

It also isn’t too late to sign up for the Epic Reading resource. If you would like access to a huge range of books, some with quizzes, please send an email to l.woodend@ourladystarofthesea.lancs.sch.uk. This will enable me to send you an invite to create an account.

Day 4

Read together the opening extract from Horrid Henry Robs the Bank from the Tricky Tricks Collection by clicking the front cover opposite.

Discuss the game Gotcha that Horrid Henry and Moody Margaret are playing. Does Gotcha remind you of any board games you like to play? What are the similarities or differences? It sounds like Henry likes to cheat! Do any of your family members cheat when playing board games?!

Whilst we have been in lockdown and socially distancing, you may have been playing some board games with your family. Use the opportunity to dig out some old favourites and play again! Talk about your favourites and why. Do you have a board game that you think Henry would like to play?

Your challenge is to introduce Henry to a board game and write a review. You would need to include:
name of the game
number of players
a basic summary of how to play
why the game is one of your favourites and why you think Henry would like it
a star rating.
