As you know, this week is Mental Health Awareness Week and the theme is kindness! We hope you have been keeping up your 'Kindness Diary'.

It could be to a friend, family member, neighbour or teacher and could be a written message, a text or an email. 

As you are writing your message, think about this...

We would love to post some of your Messages of Kindness on our Year 2 page, so when you have created your message make sure you send a picture to us. We can't wait to share all of the kindness Year 2 has to give!

Reading

Miss Walker's and Miss Howes' Groups: Today we are going to read a book called 'East of the Sun, West of the Moon'. Log in to Oxford Owl and search for the book.  

Before you begin, have a look at the front cover and complete these sentences verbally to your grown up:

I see...

I think...

I wonder...

There are a few words in this story which might be a little tricky when you are reading it. Let's have a look at those words first:

  • daughter
  • dreamed
  • comb
  • gloomiest
  • exclaimed

Sound these words out and think about what they mean. If you don't know, ask your grown up. 

Now have a go at reading the story!

Miss Rowland's Group: Log in to Oxford Owl and find the story 'Attack of the Centipede'. 

Turn to the inside cover of the book and read the ‘Challenge Words’. If you do not know the meanings of some of these words (some are rather tricky) give them a ‘Kiddle’ search or ask a grown up.

Now I would like you to read the book, taking it in turns to read a page each with someone in your house.

Finally, complete ‘Play Activity 1’ and ‘Play Activity 2’.

Miss Upton's, Mrs Hussain's and Miss Potter's Groups: Today, we would like you to follow the link to BBC Bitesize and listen to the story of 'Cyril and Pat'. Listen carefully to the story and complete 'Activity 1' when you have finished reading.

Writing

It is Wednesday, which means it is ‘Handwriting’ day! This week we are going to focus on the letters h, a, b, r. 

For each letter, watch the video, write a line of the letter and then a line of the word in your home learning book or on lined paper. 

h - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5O-WtwwRfc - hard

a - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1nnOO2OFVI - apple

b - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tf41qclTZlc - baby

r - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knhBaLebVq4 - rab

Remember:

  • Take it slowly - we can tell when you rush!
  • Use your finger to make sure your spaces are the right size.
  • Try joining (but only after your letters are perfect)

 

Maths

Miss Rowland's and Miss Higgins' Groups: Today we are going to continue to look at time intervals.

First of all, I need you to look back at the questions you answered yesterday. Watch this video and compare your answers, did you get them all correct? Did you spot the one mistake in the video? 

Have a go this worksheet we have created where you are asked to order different sequences of time. Use your answers to the questions from yesterday to help you.

Miss Howes' and Miss Walker's Groups: Follow the link and watch the video 'Lesson 3 - Measure Length (2)'. When it says 'Have a go', pause the video and have a go at the activity in your home learning book!

Now follow the link to open today's worksheet. 

 

Topic

Today, we are going to do some Science mixed with Art and DT! So far this term we have had a look at different habitats. Can you remember what a habitat is? Watch this video to remind yourself!

So a habitat is a home for a living thing and now we know that different living things live in different places! Some animals even change themselves to help them live in their habitat!

Today, during your time outside or during your daily walk, we would like to have a look and a think about what sorts of animals or insects there might be living around the area where you live. There might be butterflies, bumblebees, frogs, caterpillars, woodlice, ants, worms or even hedgehogs!

Choose one and have a think about the type of place they would like to live in. Then we would like you to have a go at creating a habitat for them using things you can find outside or in your home!

Think about:

  • Will your creature need some shelter to protect them?
  • Will they need a pool of water to swim in or drink from?
  • Will they need to be near flowers and plants?
  • Do they like it to be dark and cold? Or light and warm?

Now have a look at these examples.

Have fun creating your habitats and remember we would love to see some photographs of your creations!

 

Brain Breaks

Today we would like you to choose your own brain break! You could do some colouring in, practice your mindfulness or yoga with Jamie, you could do a doodle, do a dance or listen to some music!

Have a fantastic Wednesday and remember...

Get active with Joe Wicks this morning! Follow the link and find a space to get moving in!

 

Reading

Miss Walker's and Miss Howes' Groups: Follow the link to the story 'Cake'.

Watch the first video and then think about these questions:

  • What does Cake receive at the start of the extract?
  • Has Cake ever been to a party before?
  • What does Fish suggest to Cake? 

Now watch the second video and think about these questions:

  • How is Cake feeling on his way to the party?
  •  What happens when Cake gets to the party?

Then have a go at the 'Activities 1 and 2' in your home learning book!

  

Miss Rowland's Group: Today I would like you to log on to Oxford Owl using the log in details we put inside your home learning book (if you struggle to log in, send me an email and I can resend the details). Once you have logged in, search for the book ‘Tiger’s Discovery’.

  1. Turn to the inside cover of the book and read the ‘Challenge words’ to a grown up and explain what these words mean.
  2. Then it is your turn to read through the book, with a grown up if you can.
  3. Finally, complete ‘Play Activity 1’ and ‘Play Activity 2’ in the tabs above the book.

Miss Upton's, Mrs Hussain's and Miss Potter's Groups: Today we would like you to have a go at reading your story to your grown up. Log in to Oxford Owl and find the story 'We can play!' There are lots of sounds in this story that you have already learned and some red words which might be a little bit trickier.

Take it slowly and remember to ask your grown up for help if you need it! Try your best and enjoy the story!

 

Writing/PSHE

Today we are going to continue this week’s topic ‘Kindness’. To start, we want you to watch this video that explains the importance of being kind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCCb85TgeEU

This week, we would like you to create your own ‘Kindness’ Diary. Follow the link to show you what this would look like. You can either print out this diary or create your own with the help of an adult in your home learning book. You saw some ideas in the Kindness Power Point yesterday and you drew/wrote about some kindness acts you could carry out at home. Here are some more ideas for things you could do at home to be kind. You need to make sure you are doing at least one a day this week!

After creating your kindness diary, go and carry out today’s act of Kindness! We hope you make someone’s day or make them smile, have fun!

 

Maths

Miss Rowland's and Miss Higgins' Groups: In our maths group today we are going to look at ordering different sequences of time. Can you answer these questions and write your answers in your home learning book? You need to have a go at these as we are going to check your answers in tomorrow’s work. If you are not sure of the answers, ask a grown up in your house to help, use Kiddle to help you research the answers or just try your best!

How many seconds are there in one minute? How many minutes are in an hour? How many hours are there in a day? How many days are there in a week? What is the special name we give for two weeks? What is the special name for four weeks? How many days are there in a year? If you want an extra tricky challenge, try these: What is a decade? What is a century?

Miss Howes' and Miss Walker's Groups: Follow the link and watch the video 'Lesson 2 - Measure Length (1)' When it says 'Have a go', pause the video and have a go at the activity in your home learning book!

Now we would like you to have a go at measuring some objects around the house using household objects. You could use building blocks, pieces of pasta or toys (but remember they must all be the same size!). Have a look at these pictures for some ideas:
