Year 2-Wednesday 1st April
Good Morning Year 2,
Wow, we are halfway through the week already! We really hope that you have enjoyed your home learning activities so far. Some of the art work we had emailed to us yesterday really demonstrated our learning behaviours of creativity and pride. Give yourselves a pat on the back. Keep your emails coming- we love celebrating your achievements with you. Well done to Harry, Elizabeth, Millie, Vinnie, Callum and Toby. If you want your work to appear on the website, then please don’t put names on your work or just use first names because of GDPR. We will do our best to share as many as we can.
Have a look through your home learning for today. How will you best organise your day? Remember to read for at least 20 minutes a day. It’s a great way to take your imagination on an exciting journey to help you relax.
Remember to take frequent breaks and to wash your hands during the day.
You always show great teamwork in school. How will you be a good team player at home today?
Have a good day!
Many thanks,
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 can 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. See our Educating Home page for other reading and phonics links and resources.
Complete your 2,5 and 1o times tables using TTRockstars, or a different method.
Complete your weekly spellings which are provided below and are in Spelling Shed, and the Year 2 common exception words.

English
In English today, we will be learning about different types of poetry and using this to create some of our own animal poetry, linked with the animals in the Enormous Crocodile story by Roald Dahl. The presentation below shows you three different types of poetry. Look at each one and decide which type you would like to try for yourself! You have been given a choice today so that you can be as creative as you like. In each type of poetry, the aim is to describe your animal. To do this you may want to describe what they look like, how they move, what they sound like, how big or small they are etc. You will need to use adjectives (describing words) to do this well. You may want to include some ‘simile’ where you compare your animal to something else using ‘like’ or ‘as____as‘ i.e. He roars like thunder, He is as quiet as a mouse. Have lots of fun being creative! We look forward to seeing the results!

Topic
Did you know that the queen has more than one home? They are the Royal Residences. Have a look at the pictures below and use a map to find where they are in the United Kingdom. Once you have done this you might like to pick one of the royal residences to draw. Pay attention to the shapes and detail. Have fun!
