Home Learning

Reading:

Please read daily with your child and log on Boom Reader or in your child’s reading diary. We will be following up with children who are reading less than three times a week at home. If you would like a paper reading diary to record your reading at home, please let us know and we can provide one for you.

Handwriting:

Any opportunity to practise writing your letters using our cursive script at home would greatly help with developing and improving your child’s handwriting. We are focusing on ensuring our small letters are small, our tall letters are tall (and long) and that they are consistent in size.

Maths:

Please practise on Doodle Maths – fifteen minutes every day will help your child stay in the Green Zone! We will set an assignment for your child to do each Friday, to be completed by the following Friday.

Spellings:

We will be sending home a list of words for your child to practise at home each Tuesday. Don’t forget to practise this week’s spellings – a selection of Year 2 Common Exception Words.

This week!

Amelia, Martha and Hugo have enjoyed History this week where we learned all about the history of the toilet! We learned that toilets have changed lots over time, they now have flush and people don’t have to go outside at night!

Ollie has enjoyed Maths this week where we have recapped telling the time to the hour and to the half hour, and begun to explore a range of 3D shapes, looking at their names and their properties.

Sunny has enjoyed reading this week, lots of the children have been inspired by the Roald Dahl books we have been looking at and are taking the time to read them at home!

Jonah has enjoyed our three-minute talks this week – Seb gave a fabulous talk on his hobby playing football, and Sunny told us all about his trip to see Hercules at the Theatre in London, Drury Lane!

Phoebe and Dougie have enjoyed writing our newspaper reports in our English learning. The children could summarise the main event from the book, ‘The Lonely Beast’, they could write an interesting headline and talk about the key events from the story. Some of the children even managed to include a quote in speech marks!

Have a lovely half term and a well deserved break.
