Hi Year 2,
I hope that both you and your families are well and are ready for the new week of learning ahead. Did you manage to get out and enjoy the sunshine over the weekend? I do hope so as the weather looks a little different for the coming week.
Below are this week’s weekly learning challenges. There’s a little drama in History and I know those little scientists amongst you will love this week’s habitats lessons.
Enjoy your week Year 2,

Year 2 Home Learning Challenges - Monday 11th May
Happy Monday Year 2!
Are you all ready for a new week of learning? Here are Monday’s 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.
English
This week’s focus text is one of our favourites - Horrid Henry by Francesca Simon! I can’t wait to find out what Henry gets up to, can you?
Day 1
Read together the opening chapter of one of the first stories about Horrid Henry by clicking the front cover opposite.
Discuss – How is Henry feeling about the dance class? Why doesn’t he want to go? What would he rather be doing? What do you think about Madame Tutu? What does Madame Tutu think of Henry’s dancing?
Support by watching the opening of the animated version of the same story up to 3:08 mins:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5aTgH1vCE0
Pretend you are Henry and write in role. Write a letter to Mum and Dad, pleading with them to stop taking you to the dance classes. Discuss all the reasons you could include in the letter, e.g. you’d rather learn karate, Madame Tutu screeches at you, your friends at school will laugh when they see you as a raindrop, etc.
Use your discussion to help write your letter. You might want to use the introductory sentence and sentence starters below to help you:
Dear Mum and Dad, I’m writing this letter to convince you that dance classes are not for me!
First of all, …
Another reason …
Also, …
Finally, …
Please say you’ll think about it! Love Henry

What a wonderful week of learning. I have really enjoyed receiving all your World War II research projects - I have to say I think my favourite (I liked them all) was Zofia’s. If you look carefully at the pictures I think you’ll spot Zofia dressed as in a fetching 1940’s outfit! Your art work was a fitting tribute to VE day too- and well done for producing so many wonderful lettesr to Michiya! The bombing of Nagasaki marked the end of the whole war later in 1945. I hope you enjoy the pictures- a few pets have sneeked in!
I know a lot of you have climbed the stairs for Everest and I have 16 children who have contacted Jayden or myself. We need to keep climbing final count next Friday. Talking of Jayden - sorry Jayden- his Grandad lived above a fire station in London during the war. He wrote Jayden a recount of what he could remember so Jayden could keep it. I thought you might like to read it children! Have a lovely long weekend take care of each other always.
God Bless Mrs Hxx

What an incredible week of learning you have had Year 2. You all look like you have had so much fun! The recipes you have all followed to make some delicious meals have made me very hungry. I have definitely been inspired to make something other than my ham sandwiches for lunch! Your volcano photographs and videos have also made me smile, with some very inventive ways being used. As I mentioned in my video last week, please don’t forget to say thank you to your wonderful parents. They are doing an amazing job at keeping you busy and allowing you to complete all of this creative learning.
I hope that you all enjoy the extra long weekend with your families, and hopefully we may have some answers about what’s happening after the weekend.
Stay safe!
Missing you all,
Miss Woodend
