Just to say ...

Good morning Year 2 and Happy Monday!

I can’t believe that this is our last week of learning in Year 2. Lots of you will get your reports this week and I hope they make you smile and remember our time in Year 2.

You are such fantastic learners! Miss Elliott and I are so proud of all of you. We can’t wait to see you around school when you come back as Year 3!

This week our blog may look a little different. I will still post Maths and some English activities for our eager learners. But I will also post some reflective activities about our time in Year 2 and a task ready for your Year 3 teacher.

Thank you for all of your learning so far and I hope I see lots of you during our Teams meetings this week.

English: Week 15

Hello Year 2!

It was so lovely to ‘see’ lots of you at our small groups quizzes and class story times last week!

This week’s English work is a little different from what we have been doing. As we are nearing the end of our time in Year 2, I wanted you to focus and think about some of your key skills that you will still need to use every day in Year 3.

Day 1

LO: To use capital letters and full stops.

First we are going to think carefully about our capital letters and closing punctuation.

A capital letter is used at the start of a sentence or for a name.

Follow the link to a video with a more detailed explanation.

Task

Please re-write the sentences in your best handwriting, adding the capital letters and full stops in the correct places.

Day 2

LO: To use conjunctions.

Today we are going to think about joining sentences together. A conjunction joins sentences and extended them.

Task

Can you choose the conjunction that fits each sentence? Remember to read them carefully.

Day 3

LO: To use conjunctions.

Yesterday you selected the correct conjunctions to make sentences make sense.

Today you are thinking of how to extend sentences with specific conjunctions.

Task

Look carefully at the start of each sentences and the conjunctions chosen. In your best handwriting, can you extend your sentences?

Day 4

LO: To revise our punctuation and grammar skills.

Sometimes we only need a quick refresher for our skills learning.

Task

Can you complete each individual task to revise your skills?

Science Week 15

This week we are focusing on healthy eating. A few weeks ago we did some other Science learning about healthy eating. We are going to re-visit this learning as it is really important.

In Year 2, we need to be able to answer the following questions.

How do animals grow differently?

What do animals need to survive?

Why is it important that humans exercise?

Why is it important that humans eat the right amounts of food?

We also need to be able to understand and use the following vocabulary…

6^th July 2020 Activities

Lesson 1

What is a healthy diet for humans?

All animals need different types of food. To have a healthy balanced diet, humans need a range of food types.

Task

Can you design a healthy balanced meal based on the lots, some or only a little idea?

Think about what you should have lots of on your plate and what might just be a treat!

Lesson 2

Thinking carefully about our diets.

We call the things we eat our ‘diet’.

Looking at our diet can tell us if we are already eating healthily, or if we could improve our eating habits.

Task

Can you use the format below to evaluate your diet?

Thinking about the good things that you eat and about what you would like to improve.

For example Miss James might say..

Three good things – I like to eat fruit. I get protein from chicken and fish. I like to eat salad vegetables.

Three things that would make my diet better – Drinking more water. Getting more calcium from yogurt as I don’t drink milk. To drink less fizzy pop.

Remember we love to see all your learning!
