TUESDAY 26TH JANUARY 2021
MATHS - today, we are going to be having a go at using number bonds to 10 to help us make 100. Are you a number detective? Can you spot what stays the same when you're making 100 and what we add? Warm up with the speed add challenge - there are the same questions twice, so that means you can practice this 2 days in a row.
Don't forget to check Seesaw for today's teaching video!
Have a go at Funky Mummy to help remind yourself how to make 10 and 20:

I have set some Mymaths tasks revising place value, addition and 5 times table if you want to do this too. Maybe if your parents are very busy working at home, you could have a little go of these on a very busy day yourself.
ENGLISH - In English today, I want you to have a look at the reading tasks, one of them is based on yesterday's picture and then we have some similar to the ones we did last week. Don't forget to underline and look for important words from the questions to help you find the answers. Check Seesaw for today's teaching video -
I have also set a Spag.com task - have a look if you've got time but don't worry if you can't do it.
Do what you can, but remember to have fun, play and relax too!
Spanish links: (Spanish links if you haven't had a go yet this week) I have also added some work on Spanish colours if you would like to have a go at Spanish this afternoon.

Each week, the children in school will be having a Moving Monday morning and will be doing lots of PE all morning with Mr Cowling. It is up to you if you choose to get active at the same time as us, or start with your Maths and English first and save this for the afternoon.
I will be uploading an interactive PE PowerPoint and also a link to a Cosmic Yoga session, as I know we have really enjoyed doing this in class together. I don't mind what you do as long as you get active, and would love to see your videos on Seesaw so I can share it with the children as they are missing you lots.

Can you research an island that you are interested in? You can present this however you like using a model, a Powerpoint or Word presentation or you could be a TV presenter and teach me all about your chosen island on Seesaw - I can't wait to see what you will teach me! You can choose islands you may have visited such as the Canary islands, or an island where the wildlife really interests you such as the Galapagos islands.

You can also continue to practice counting in 10s, 5s and 2s by visiting this website:
Multiplication and Division Games for KS1 Children (topmarks.co.uk)
Have a look at this weeks 's extra reading comprehensions - read it all very carefully and then have a go at the questions, ask a grown up to help if you get stuck with any of your work. With reading comprehensions, it is helpful to look for and underline the words that are most important in each question. If you then read the sentence with the word in you have underlined, the answer should be there.
There are also some multiplication practices and by the end of Y2, we need to know x10, x5, x2 and x3 facts off by heart, the best way to do is this practice, practice, practice and search for fun songs on YouTube that may help those number facts stick in your head.
MEET THE TEAM!
This year these are the staff that will be working with your children either in class, or extra sessions in intervention groups:
MRS GILLETT MRS ANDERSON MRS MARSDEN MR PARKER SENORITA ANDREA
In Year 2, it is very important that the children complete their homework including spellings and reading their homework book every week. At the end of the year, the children will be taking their SATs tests which include separate reading and spelling tests. The outcome of these tests supplement my end of year decisions - spelling plays a big factor in whether or not your child will reach the expected level for Year 2 by the end of the year. At Parent's evening later on this half-term, I will be sending home the lists of High Frequency words and the newer 'Common Exception words' for your child to practice reading and spelling at home to consolidate the work done in class as well as intervention groups. (Please see below for the list of words.)
It is also really important that your child reads as much as they can - these books do not need to be the school reading book, and I would encourage you to share your favourite books or authors with your children. In the next few weeks, I will be inviting parents (who wish to) to come and read their favourite children's book to the class at home time - to show children that books and stories should be enjoyed and loved! If you would be interested in this, please pop in and see me any time - the children and I would love to have you!
