We have loved seeing all of your work on the Enormous Crocodile. It looks like you have been having great fun! Well done Renee, Toby and Max for the work you sent in. Do keep it coming- We love to see what you’re up to and it really brightens our day!

Helpful Reminders
Don’t forget you can email us on year2@stmarksce.org.uk. We would love to hear from you if you have a question, need a password, need some help, want to show us your work or even just say hello! Please get your grown up’s permission before you email us. We look forward to hearing from you. We may not reply the same day!
Presentation – Please remember to do your very best work. Handwriting and presentation are as important at home as they are in school. You can complete your work in a book or if you need lined or squared paper you can get it here.
Note for parents: Hopefully your children will enjoy working through these activities and can do independently. We completely understand it may be difficult to complete all these tasks due to other family commitments or you are working from home, so please do not worry; complete what you can with your child.
Ongoing Daily Activities
Here are the daily activities for you to complete each day. We have added a handwriting booklet that you could work through very gradually, not in one go. You can either print the booklet, or do this onto paper of your own at home. We look forward to seeing how amazing your handwriting will be when we see your work. The Common Exception Words should also be learnt gradually, by selecting 2 or 3 words a week that you should aim to learn along side your weekly spellings.
20 minutes of reading either a school book or a home book.
Practice your 2,5 and 1o times tables using TTRockstars, or a different method.
Practice your weekly spellings which will be provided below, and the Year 2 common exception words.
Spelling test- test your child on their weekly spellings.
English
In English today, we have another grammar hammer to complete, Lots of you enjoyed this activity last week so work hard with it again today! Remember, don’t peek at the answers until you are finished! Good luck!

Maths
Today in maths, we will be finishing our unit on time. Hopefully you are beginning to feel more confident with telling the time, and regularly practicing telling the time throughout the day will help you to continue to build confidence. Today we are going to be thinking about comparing durations of time, considering which time frames are longer than others. Please work through the flipchart, before having a go at the worksheet.

Top tip: To help you work out how many minutes have passed, draw the hands on the clock faces for each of the times given, and then count in 5s to work out how much time has passed. You can use the blank clock faces below to help you.
RE
As we get closer to Easter, in school we would normally be learning about the Christian view of Easter. The activities below will help you and your child to explore the concept of sacrifice. At the moment, this should be a good starting point for conversation as both you and your child are giving up lots of the normal activities in everyday life, time with friends, sporting activities etc. It would be good to spend some time discussing why we are doing this. Is it just for ourselves or others too? In school Boris would tell us that ‘Too much selfie isn’t healthy!’ How does this relate to the actions that you and others are doing now. How does it relate to what Christians believe that Jesus did?
