Short Daily Activities

Handwriting This week I’d like you to practise the diagonal join: le. There is a

worksheet attached to support you but you may choose to use your

handwriting book (if you have any room!). Remember, you might want to

start practising by drawing magic letters in the air, then you could go

outside and paint the letters with water, write with sticks or use chalk,

you could also practise the letters with felt tip crayons or pencils. Try to

do handwriting everyday (even if it to practise other letters), this will

make such difference! These letters don’t have to be joined just try your

best to form the letters correctly.

Try joining: le, el and al

Spelling and

Phonics

This week I would like you to learn words ending in the suffix -es. Here

are some examples: babies, bodies, carries, copies, cries, families,

flies, hobbies, ladies, replies and tries.

Spelling Rule: If I need to add -es, I have to swap the y for an i first.

baby - babies

You will see a username and password in the ‘reading’ box below which will

give you access to RWI Spelling games so you can practise.

Continue to practise phonics as often as possible. I have added a link to

films shown relating to our resources.

out-more/parents/

Films will show at the times below and

be available for 24 hours.

Reading There are so many free resources for you to access. Oxford Owl and Big

Cat Collins are individual reading books we use in school linked to your

coloured band so I would urge you to have a look. Apart from this read

ANYTHING and EVERYTHING! This will make all the difference to your

learning and it’s fun!

Number

Bonds and

Times Tables

Practise your number bonds everyday (9 + 1 = 10 so, 19 + 1 = 20 so, 90 + 10 = 100) and your 2, 5 and 10 times tables.

This should be forwards, backwards and in and out of order. Also, remember it is important to know the inverse so

if 2 x 5 = 10, 10 ÷ 5 = 2. If you think you have mastered the 2, 5 and 10 times table start work on the 3 times table.

Dear Elm Class,

Welcome back to the final half term of Year 2! Can you believe how quickly it has gone? This half term we would usually start to

prepare for Key Stage Two and all the excitement (such using the ‘big’ playground) it brings. For now, we shall try and make the

most of home learning and our new topic!

This half term our topic is; ‘Oh I do Like to be Beside the Seaside’. It is an opportunity to learn about what a seaside holiday would

have been like in the past. Hopefully, you’ll also be able to spend lots of time outside during the next couple of weeks making the

most of the sunshine whilst it lasts! On Friday (5th June) we would ordinarily be celebrating World Environment Day and so I have

dedicated Friday to this year’s theme.

Most importantly, stay happy, keep smiling and don’t worry if you’re not able to complete everything. If you do one thing a day, make

sure it is reading! 😊

Have a wonderful week!

Day 1

English Mathematics Art

This week we are going to focus on Julia

Donaldson’s The Snail and the Whale. You

can watch the animated version here:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000

Imagine that you had to write a newspaper

report about the people (and the snail) who

saved the whale. What would it say?

There is a template attached for you. Try

to consider:

• The order of events

• A catchy heading

• Eyewitness accounts.

Seascape to create your own seaside

picture!

Day 2

English Mathematics Science

A rock is described as being 'as black as

soot'. This is a simile. Can you find more in

the story? Can you make up your own

similes, or find others in different books?

A simile compares two different things in

a interesting way, usually using ‘like’ or ‘as’.

Here are some more examples:

As cold as ice.

This dress is perfect because it fits like a

glove.

This half term we start our new topic;

plants. Find out about seed dispersal:

How do plants spread their seeds? You

Then complete the worksheet attached

about how a flying insect helps to support

with seed dispersal.

Day 3

English Mathematics Physical Education

Look at the illustrations and think of

speech/thought bubbles for the animals

shown. I have attached a template but you

may wish to draw your own characters!

Remember to use:

• Capital letters

• Full stops

• A range of sentence types

(exclamation, question, command

and statement)

the same time! There are a selection of

videos to choose from on the BBC Super

Movers website:

Day 4

English Mathematics History

The snail 'slithered'. Think of other

words to describe how different

creatures move.

Draw or write a list of other creatures

and describe how they move using verbs

or adverbs.

Remember a verb is an action (or ‘doing’

word). For example: jump, march, hopped

An adverb changes the meaning of the

verb. For example: quietly, slowly, quickly,

carefully

Where is the seaside always located? Can

you complete the seaside sheet attached?

Day 5

World Environment Day

This year, the World Environment Day theme is ‘Time for Nature’. Today I’d like you to take a little bit of time to find out about

the world around us and spend time outside appreciating all of the beautiful nature around us! Here are some ideas to get you

started:

• Earth School has some AMAZING videos which are worth investigating. https://ed.ted.com/earth-school

• Create and go on a spring scavenger hunt. https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/blog/2020/01/nature-scavenger-hunts/ or

even a colour scavenger hunt!

• Find natural materials to write your name with.

• Try and paint using a nature paint brush and mud.

• Try to recreate an Andy Goldsworthy picture or create your own!

• Make some salt dough to create your own nature portrait!

• Get green fingered and help out in the garden.
