Year 2 Home Learning - to be handed in Monday 22nd April

READING

Please read every night. Enjoy your books and return to school to quiz!


MATHS - PACK OF NUMBER FACT CARDS

The children have been using the bridging method to solve addition problems that go over 10. I have made a little film that shows how we split the second addend using our number bonds to 10. Each child has a set of cards these include numbers adding to 8 and 7:

8+3 8+4 8+5 8+6 8+7 8+8 8+9

7+4 7+5 7+6 7+7 7+8 7+9

We have had a good chat about adding 9 and how easy it is to add 10 and take 1 away.

We have played with the cards in class - turning over and solving. We then placed them into two piles: QUICK and NOT SO QUICK. We are trying to make these facts automatic like our other number facts

Optional Challenges!

It is wonderful that the children are so excited about their learning and to see how keen they are to continue this outside of school. We welcome any opportunity to share these learning experiences with you at home, which is why we have created ‘optional challenges’ across each year group which can be explored over this Summer 1 half term.

These challenges link to the wider area of our curriculum, there are some activities to help with retrival and some with topics that are coming up.

Below you will find the optional challenges linking to the topics and areas of learning that we will be exploring this half term. These fun challenges are designed to cover a range of skills without being stressful or time consuming for you at home. You are welcome to complete them in any order you wish and it would be lovely to see pictures or examples of things that the children have enjoyed at home.

As always, thank you for your continued support.
