Good Morning Year 2.
Here are Wednesday’s home learning challenges.
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 3
Read pages 8-11 of the RSPB Nature Birds Guide by clicking the front cover opposite. This could be by reading the text to your child or by reading a paragraph, or page, to each other.
Return to pp 10-11, What do birds do all year? Using a paper plate if you have one (or a large circle drawn on paper), split it into quarters. Label each quarter with a season. Using the information from the text, write down what the swallow does in each season. You can make your own sentences using key words from the text to help you. Colour and decorate your seasonal circle to make it attractive.
Enjoy listening to Follow the Swallow by Julia Donaldson using the link here:

When you hear about Apollo the swallow in the story, can you make links with some of the facts you’ve recorded on your seasonal plate?

Times tables
Click here for a website which will help you to practise your times tables even more. You can create a free account which will enable you to see which medals you have collected along the way. Remember in Year 2, our main tables to focus on are 2, 5 and 10, but you could have a go at 3s too for an extra challenge.
Don’t forget to check the weekly challenges for more learning!
Enjoy today’s learning,
