Therefore, below I have put together a selection of different activities that you can dip in and out of to keep your learning ticking over.

We have been reading so many fairytales in class this week, but have paid particular attention to The Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf. I have set a 2Do on Purple Mash to retell the story of The Three Little Pigs in your own words. Remember I will look at these and mark them, so please try your best!

Year 2 Home Learning - Week Ending 6th November 2020

Maths

Please complete the addition sheet attached below. I have also included a die template for the children to use if they wish. Alternatively, the children can use a die that they may already have at home.

Have a go at playing the game below which will help to consolidate counting in steps of 2s, 5s and 10s.

English

Please read your reading book for at least 10 minutes per day. I have spoken to the children this week about quizzing and reminded them that some books should be read more than once before quizzing. For those children on longer books, I reminded them to really take their time so that when it comes to quizzing, they have a good understanding of what happened.

As mentioned in this week’s blog, we have been using dictionaries to help us to discover new vocabulary. If you do have a dictionary at home, it would be great if the children could practise the skill. You could give your child a word to find each night and time how long it takes them to find it.
If you don’t have a dictionary at home, you could write a list of words for your child that they then have to put into alphabetical order. Can you challenge them by writing two words that begin with the same letter?

Spellings

Set 6 from the spelling pack -

Adding the suffix -ly -
