Year 2 Tuesday 31st March
Good Morning Year 2
We hope you are all well this Tuesday morning, and that you have had a restful sleep, a good breakfast and are ready to start the day. We have seen some fantastic learning already this week- well done! We certainly have some amazing crocodile experts in our year group and you have told us some incredible ‘Wow’ facts. Thank you. We’d love you to continue to share some of your home learning today too. Well done to Leo and Myla for the work below.
Can you get anyone to join in with you today if you’re taking part in the fitness session with Joe Wickes? Remember that it is on at 9am on Youtube. Keep working hard on your 2,5, and 10 times tables and maybe try to improve your score on TT Rockstars. We hope you’re enjoying Spelling Shed too!
Keep washing your hands and take frequent breaks throughout the day.
Be proud of all that you achieve today.
Best Wishes,
The Year 2 Team
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. Continue with your 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. If you are running short of books please see the links on our Educating Home page on the website. There are lots of useful links to free e-readers from Collins, Oxford Owl and more…
Complete your 2,5 and 1o times tables using TTRockstars, or a different method.
Complete your weekly spellings using Spelling Shed or the link below, and continue with the Year 2 common exception words.

Yesterday, you completed your research to find out all about crocodiles. Today, you will be using all of your expert knowledge to create your own crocodile fact card. You can present this information in anyway that you would like. Remember to make it eye catching and try to group your facts into sections. You may like to include some pictures, ‘Did you know facts?’ or ‘Wow’ facts too. Try to vary your sentences to engage the reader and where appropriate include exciting adjectives or interesting details that you have learnt. If you want to be even more creative you could use the computer to present your information and make a powerpoint to share with your families or send to your relatives via email.

Open in new tab Look at the example fact cards and the facts that you found out about crocodiles yesterday. Decide which sections you will have,
Remember to include headings to organise your writing. These can also be questions for the reader. Try to group your facts together and remember to use capital letters and full stops in your writing. See if you can add an exclamation sentence: How amazing crocodiles are! or a command sentence: Stay away from their sharp teeth because they might bite you.
We’d love you to be creative and design your own format but if you’re stuck, you can use the template below:
Maths
Today in maths, we will continue to use the White Rose Maths resources to continue our work on fractions. The aim of today’s task is to find a third of different objects and amounts. You can watch the video using the link attached below. You will need lesson 2- Step 7- Finding a third. After you have completed this, you can use the attached sheet to check your understanding. If you can’t print this, you can write the number of each question onto your paper and then write the answers. Once you have completed this, you can use the answer sheet below to check your answers. We hope you enjoy your fraction work. Maybe you can try using fractions when you are playing with your toys later or sharing your food or snacks?

Art
Today, in art, we will continue to develop our drawing skills by extending patterns that we see in nature. You can choose which animal pattern you like best and then try and extend it by matching shapes and colours. You can use whatever resources that you have at home: pens, colouring pencils, paints and crayons would all be good. Pay close attention to the patterns to copy the detail and have lots of fun!
