Week 2
It is hopefully our last week of home learning! You have done it! Hooray! A big well done to all the children, mums, dads, grannies and grandads who have worked so hard. Please make sure we keep going this week as it will make it easier when you return to school on Monday. The expectation is still that work is completed and sent it. A huge well done for everyone who has been playing TT Rockstars. Nearly the whole class has tried it now. We have a really exciting week this week.
Teams meetings on Monday and Friday, World Maths Day on Tuesday and World Book Day on Thursday. We invite you to dress up as a book character and send in your photos for us to see!
Friday 5th March
It is our last day of home learning! I am so proud of you all for how brave you are, how hard you have worked and how patient you have been. You may feel a little bit worried, sad, happy or excited about coming back to school on Monday. All of those feelings are ok. I promise we will soon get back to normal. Miss James and I are here to talk to you whenever you need us. We have lots of fun things planned for you all and we can't wait to play together. I also want to say thank you to all of your family members who have helped you at home. Enjoy today. Make it a great last day! The Teams call is at 11.30am. :)

Tuesday 19th January
Good morning! Try your best with Maths today. Let me know how you get on. Check using the answer sheet. If it is really too tricky, practise subtracting numbers by finding the difference or by counting back using a number line. You could make up your own calculations with 2 digit numbers subtract 1 digit numbers.
For the Science, I would recommend holding the material over a sink/tray/bowl, dropping the chosen amount water on top of it and watching what happens underneath. If you dip the material fully in the water, when you lift it out, you won't be able to tell if the water has passed through or not. A pipette, medicine syringe or teaspoon would work well. Another top tip is to leave the water on the fabric for awhile. It won't pass through straight away but if you leave it, you will gradually get drips forming underneath. Alternatively, wrap a very inexpensive item in the material and submerge. No real cameras!

HOME LEARNING - WEEK 3 and 4
NOTICES
16/11/20 - Next week, the children will need:
- - Ingredients for one of the recipes attached or your own Victorian recipe. (There will be alternative tasks if cooking is not an option for you.)
- - Soap, washing up liquid, shampoo or bubble bath.
-
The maths sheets get progressively harder. They change from fluency to reasoning and problem solving. If they get stuck at the end- don't panic! Leave it/write a note/discuss it with them.
-
If you are really struggling to get your child to write, you can scribe for them in Maths or other tasks. (As long as it isn't a writing task.)
-
Use gems! We have a gem jar at school. Children add a gem when they have used good manners, been kind, completed good work, put effort in etc. You could fill a container with anything you have. Maybe set them a target. If you get 20 by the end of XXXX you can have a little treat of XXXX
Welcome to Week 4
Happy Monday everyone! We hope you had a restful weekend and are all well. We are going to look at time this week in Maths. We believe that children learn this best with regular practise at home. It isn't easy to learn quickly but hopefully the lessons this week will give you an insight into some of the skills children need. By the end of Year 2, all children should be able to read O'clock, half past, quarter to and quarter past times on an analogue clock and be able to tell the time to the nearest 5 minutes. Later in the year, we will look at minutes, hours, days, months, years and solving problems involving duration of time. The children are likely to have different confidence levels with this. Therefore, if they haven't mastered time yet, I would recommend following the lessons in order. If you think that your child has fully mastered the concepts already, get them to complete the assessment booklet as independently as possible and send it to me. If they find it easy, I can send them alternative tasks for the week. Hopefully it will be another enjoyable week. Please continue to send work in daily and save it to return to school with your child. I will schedule a TEAMS meeting for Friday so hopefully we will see you all there. Enjoy!
Hangman quiz!
Guess what 'I spy,' in my house... 6 letters, 3 letters, 7 letters. Email me your answers. I will add a clue each day.
Alongside their work, can children please practise the words to these songs:
It's Christmas Eve Squash and a Squeeze Thanks and Praise (Click for lyrics)
Story Time
Here are some stories recorded in the last lockdown for my class last year. If you haven't seen them before, or fancy a story, you may want to watch them. I will try do a new one soon.
LESSONS
If you found yesterday that your child can already accurately tell the time independently to the nearest 5 minutes, you may wish to skip this week's Maths lessons so I have put up these tasks as an alternative.
Choose 1 a day:
1) Time problems (to 5 minutes)
2) Choose 4 of these questions to try. CHALLENGE CARDS
3) Play the Maths Frame online games written on the weekly plan.

Don't worry about the quiz at the start of science. They can guess or you can talk about it or if you are really keen you can look at lesson before but they aren't expected to know it. Also, the first part of the lesson recaps about particles. Again, they study this later in school so do not need to know it. They can skip past or watch the previous lesson if they are super keen! You can start from the MELTING section.
Ideas for spelling:
- Spelling Puzzle: Make a home-made puzzle by writing each word in large letters and then having the child cut each card apart.The fun is in putting the puzzle back together!
- Stairsteps: Write the words as if they are stairs, adding one letter at a time.

- Tic-Tac-Toe: There are a ton of cool ways to play with this old game! Create a larger-sized board and play tic-tac-toe where each player uses a spelling word.OR, have each player use an ‘X’ or ‘O’ but in order to place a mark on the board, they have to spell a word correctly.
- Window Writing: All you need is special window-safe crayons to use or write in the steam on the shower door.
- WORDO!: Kind of like Bingo but with letter or words.
- Rainbow Write: Flip a word card and have your child go through the rainbow, painting or writing each word in rainbow colours.Make the first word red, second orange, third yellow, etc. OR write each letter in a colour of the rainbow.
- Water Paint: Use water and a paintbrush to water paint the spelling words on the pavement/patio.
- Chalk
- Hangman
- Anagrams- mix up the spelling words for children to unscramble.
- Quick write- how many times can you write the word in 1 minute?
- Type it Out: Open up a Word document and have your child type the spelling words on the screen as you call them out. Enlarge the font, make it a cool colour, and he’ll have a ball.
- Write on each other's backs - can they guess the word?
- Make the word from playdough
- Make up a rhyme to remember the spelling.

Top tip for Tuesday:
If you are counting in 10s or adding multiples of 10, use sticks of something to represent it and build it. I have maths equipment here but you can use straws etc or draw. They could also choose the practical task and practise weighing with scales. The last problem is a real challenge so not all will be able to manage. Please don't worry!
