Hello Year 2!

It was very strange in school yesterday with so many of you having to stay at home.

We are missing you a lot! 

Here is your home learning for today.

P.E

Today we are going to have a dance/movement lesson based upon the poem 'Twas the night before Christmas' from BBC Let's Move.

You can join in with the lesson by clicking the link below.

Make sure that you have enough space and remember to listen carefully.

Maths

As so many of you are not in school at the moment, I have decided not to go onto learning about division yet. We will start this unit of work when we have most children back in school. Over the next few days we are going to recap and consolidate our understanding of addition and subtraction.

It is also a good idea to keep practising counting in 2s,5s and 10s and to start to learn these times tables.

Watch the teaching video about finding 10 more and 10 less and complete the maths questions.

Reading

Reading Task  - click the link below for a reading comprehension task. 

(The blue numbers just tell you how many words are in the text)

Grammar,spelling and punctuation.

Today in our grammar lesson we are learning about adding the suffixes er and est to root words.

With an adult go through the powerpoint about er and est. Today we are looking at root words that do not have special rules. Eg    tall      taller    tallest

Then complete the task.

The links are below.
