Starter Challenge
Good morning to all the Year 2s!
Hoping that you are all safe, rested and ready for some new learning.
Below you will find your home learning for today, starting with your phonics challenge!
Now Can you challenge yourselves further - Super Starter
Here is an example to get you started: bright
Maths Starter
Can you write all of the numbers from 0-20? now 50? now 100?
Can you write the numbers in the correct order?
Can you write the digits the correct way round? (remember no reversals!)
Can you now write your odd and even numbers up to 30 - make 2 columns, Odd, Even.
Soooooo Now can you spell the numbers and write the words for each number up to 20?
You have got this!!
Maths
Today we would like you think about Number representations This means how numbers can be shown in different ways. Today is a recap on prior learning. Remember we have to keep this learning embedded so every do often we retrieve our prior learning.
Here is an example. Dig deep into your brain and have a go.
Here the number 25 has been used. Can you see how the number has been made in lots of different ways?
YOUR ACTIVITY:
We would like you to do the same with a number or different numbers of your choice.
You could roll dice to create your number, you could use your age, your house number or even the number of your favourite football player. You could use number lines, write calculations, make it with money, use objects, draw around your hands. It really is up to you.
Be as creative as you can. How many ways can you represent the number?
English
Today we would like you do some writing for us. Can you write all about what you enjoy at school?
Your task is to write us a few simple sentences about your class, your teacher, your friends, your subjects, what makes school great for you?
You can also draw a picture or may even want to include a photograph.
Things to Remember!
- Capital letters at the start of each sentence and for names.
- Finger spaces in-between each word that you write.
- Full stops at the end of the sentence.
- Use your phonics to sound out each word that you need to write. Think carefully about the correct grapheme that you need to use.
- Best handwriting. (Remember to think carefully about tall and short letters and the letters that sit on, above and below the line)
Please try to include:
Can you use a conjunction to join 2 sentences. e.g and, but?
Can you use any adjectives to add some description and detail to your writing?
Science Recap
Last half term in Science was Materials.
How many different materials can you think of?
Use the 3 example above to start you off. Can you make a list of them or ask a grown up to write them down for you. Look around your house and think about what different objects are made from.
YOUR ACTIVITY. It's time to be a Science Detective!
We would like you to go on a material hunt around your house.
How many different materials can you find and name? You can make your own labels for the materials, write them on strips of paper or post-it notes or print out the labels at the bottom of the page. Can you match up the objects around your home with the material they are made from? Think about what the objects are made from and why and see if you can work out what lots of objects around the house are made from. Are any materials hard to find why?
Useful resources to support you
Mrs Charlerie is now going to be reading about exploring the sky? How could you explore the sky? Yes through a telescope :)
When you have finished listening; you can use the Twinkl instructions to try and make your own telescope. Have fun.
Friday 8th January 2021
Well done Oaks and Willows for the last few days of learning. We hope you enjoy today's learning too. We hope you have a lovely weekend and stay safe and blessed with your families.
Take care and we will see you on Monday :)
Start of the Day Challenge
Good morning. 
Here is your Friday Phonics starter
Use your phonics skills to read each word. Decide if it is a real or alien word.
Challenge:
Can you write some sentences with the real words in?
Remember your capital letters and full stops.
After listening to Mrs Charlerie above, use the Space word mat below to help you complete a glossary task.
Today we would like you to practise writing the letters of the alphabet. Can you write the lower case and capital letter for each letter, in the order of the alphabet? You could use the visual prompt below, or you could sing the alphabet song to help you. Try not to do any reversals.
Maths
2 times table practise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiR8hqJeQsw
We would like you to have another go today at problem solving; try a different number problem.
Good Luck!
You could use the number cards if it helps and remember doing jottings might be useful too. Remember you can only use each number and sign once and your answer needs to be a digit that is shown.
Challenge:
Write the odd digits 1,3,5,7,9 and repeat the activity. Is it easier or harder? Why?
Record the calculations you complete and see if you can work in a logical or systematic way to help you find as many answers as possible.
Phonics.
Look at the graphemes below. Say the sound of each grapheme. Maybe you could think of some words that contain each grapheme.
Use the graphemes in the words before putting the words into sentences
Click on the link below to play Obb and Bob. Can you read each word and then work out if it is a real or alien word? which alien should eat the words?
Once on the website, why not check out some other games that you can play to help you practise your phonics. This will also help you to access an easier or harder phase of phonics if you need to. There are games and activities for all phases on the website and lots of them are free to access.
Reading.
Read to an adult for at least 10 minutes. Before you read, discuss the front cover, the title and other features. Can you make a prediction?
Remember to use your phonics to sound out new words and see if you can spot any tricky words in your book.
After reading, discuss what happened or what you found out. were your predictions correct?
Golden Time
Because it is Friday afternoon, that means it is golden time! 
This afternoon, maybe you could watch a nice family film, play with some of your toys, read a book, or do some Cosmic Yoga!

Phonics
|
In our phonics sessions, we personalise the learning to the specific groups and their learning needs in school. In Year Two their phonic sessions are split into three groups. If your child is not able to identify their next sound/their group, please email the home learning account so myself and your teachers can direct you to the correct group work. The lessons revisit tricky and common exceptions words as well as introducing new sight words and a new sound. You child then progresses to reading (blending) and spelling words including their new sound, as well as reading and writing captions with their new sound. Share the power point lessons with your child. Mrs Dutfield’s voice is added to the lessons to aid pronunciation. You may want to split this up across the week or repeat the lesson everyday so your child can read the text carefully and eventually, read with fluency. Your child then has two tasks to complete across the week-
Group 1 – alternative sounds Two Lessons provided with Mrs Dutfield Voiceover Task 1: alternative ch board game to play with your child, can they read the word using the alternative? Task 2: Label the correct characters and objects using the sh alternative to ch.

Reading
|
This week Twinkl have provided a wonderful Autumn story called ‘Don’t Hog the Hedge!’. Share this story with your child, and if able, you child could read it to you! Pause at intervals in the text and encourage your child to predict what might happen next. Question, who are the main characters? What is the setting? Why do you think this character did this? How do you think this character is feeling and why? Your child should be practicing proving their answer using the text by using the text as evidence.

Week beginning 2nd November 2020
Hi everyone, hope you are safe and well! Above is an overview of your Home Learning this week. In school, Miss Clay and Miss Bailey and the Year Two Team are celebrating Diwali and Bonfire night. The children are learning about the Rama and Sita story and all about The Gunpowder Plot! All lessons, stories, videos, games and tasks to support the tasks explained are below for you to enjoy with an adult. We will see you soon!
Phonics
As you are all aware we all learn new things daily and at our own pace and this is the same for phonics, we have many skills to learn and learning them at our own pace is important to make sure that we embed the learning. Learning at our own pace helps to develop the skills we need to ensure progress and confidence in Phonics and other subjects.
What is Phonics? -
Phonics is a method of learning to read. Phonics works by breaking each word up into it’s individual sounds before blending those sounds back together to make the word. Children learn to 'decode' words by breaking it down into sounds rather than having to memorise 1,000's of words individually. Research has shown that phonics, when taught correctly, can be the most effective way of teaching children to learn to read. Sounds are taught from easiest to hardest: starting with single letter sounds and then moving on to two letters making a sound and then three and so on. Learning phonics and learning to read is one of the most important stepping stones in early education as it gives your child the skills they need to move forward in every subject, you simply cannot progress without it.
The alphabet phonics song is a good way to learn all of the alphabet letter sounds to begin with and of course is a bit of fun: https://youtu.be/QJ63I2qqtxQ
There are a variety of lessons for the different phases to help you support your child; this is varied so that children have the opportunity to recap, learn new sounds and strategies as well as embed their phonics depending on the phase they are working at.
Our lesson and task this week focuses on the phase 5 e-e split digraph-
Twinkl Lesson- Phonics Lesson e-e.ppt
Task 1 word sorting from Twinkl -Phonics Task ee, ea and e_e Word Sort.pdf
Task 2 missing split digraphs from Twinkl -Phonics task 2 - recap of split sounds.pdf
For Phase 4 we are focusing on CCVC and CVCC words; reading the words effectively using previously learnt phase 3 and 2 skills.
Click here if you're looking for free, printable Phase 4 Resources.
When children start Phase Four of the Letters and Sounds phonics programme, they will know a grapheme for each of the 42 phonemes. They will be able to blend phonemes to read CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words and segment in order to spell them.
Children will also have begun reading straightforward two-syllable words and simple captions, as well as reading and spelling some tricky words.
This week for Phase 3.
Click here if you're looking for free, printable Phase 3 Resources.
By the time they reach Phase 3, children will already be able to blend and segment words containing the 19 letters taught in Phase 2.
Over the twelve weeks which Phase 3 is expected to last, twenty-five new graphemes are introduced (one at a time).
Set 6: j, v, w, x
Set 7: y, z, zz, qu
Consonant digraphs: ch, sh, th, ng
Vowel digraphs: ai, ee, igh, oa, oo, ar, or, - or, ur and ow are our new sounds for this week.
This twinkl video will help you wit these sounds; stop, rewind, pause this video as many times as you need to to help you practise these skills.
This week for phase 2
Click here if you're looking for free, printable Phase 2 Resources.
In Phase 2, letters and their sounds are introduced one at a time. A set of letters is taught each week, in the following sequence:
Set 1: s, a, t, p
Set 2: i, n, m, d
Set 3: g, o, c, k
Set 4: ck, e, u, r
Set 5: h, b, f, ff, l, ll, ss
BBC Bitesize offer great help for Phase 2 as this phase is paramount to children's learning and securing the basics of learning. Look at the following page to support yourself and your child to embed this important phase within phonics. - https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zf2yf4j
