Phonics This week’s phonics is a recap of all phases. Each day’s game can be adapted to any level. They do not
need to be completed in the following order. Phonics can be practised through lots of different games. The more fun children have, the more likely the learning is
to stick in their brain. In this resource, you will find a selection of popular games which can all be adapted for the
stage at which your child is working at. In this document, the terms ‘level’ and ‘phase’ are both used. ‘Level’ refers to
the Twinkl Phonics scheme - you can find more information about it here. Use the word bank at the end of the
document to help you find words and sounds suitable for your child. All of these games are suitable for use with: •
Sounds (graphemes) • Decodable words (words you can sound out) • Tricky or Common Exception Words Where
possible, there are suggestions of how to play the games so different ages can play at the same time - even toddlers.
Day 1
BINGO! Suitable for: • Sounds (graphemes) • Decodable words (words you can sound out) • Tricky or Common Exception Words
What do I need? • Bingo base board – you can make this from a piece of paper, 1 for each player. • Pen for writing on the boards • Counters / buttons / milk carton lids – 6 for each player • Picture or word cards to match the bingo board
How do I play this game? 1. Draw lines to divide your piece of paper or card into six boxes. 2. Write one sound or word in each of the boxes. 3. Draw or find pictures to match the sound or word card. 4. Each player has a bingo board and six counters. 5. Hold up a picture/sound card. Each player must read the sounds or words on their bingo board to see if it matches. Say the sound or word if it matches and cover it with a counter. 6. The first player to cover all of their sounds or words shouts ‘bingo’ and is the winner.
Day 2
WHAT’S IN THE BOX? Suitable for: • Sounds (graphemes) • Decodable words (words you can sound out)
What do I need? • Sound or word cards • Box or bag to hide the objects or pictures in • Objects or pictures to match the sound or word cards (e.g. picture of feet to match the ‘ee’ sound)
How do I play this game? 1. Hide the objects or pictures in the box or bag. 2. Spread the sound or word cards around the box or bag. 3. Ask your child to choose one of the sound or word cards. Ask them to say the sound or sound out the word.
4. Once your child has said the sound or word, encourage them to look in the box or bag to find the picture that matches.
Year 2 Home Learning Pack Week 14 Week Commencing Monday 13th July 2020
Day 3
SILLY QUESTIONS
Suitable for: • Decodable words (words you can sound out) • Tricky or Common Exception Words
What do I need? • Questions containing decodable words and Tricky Words • Card saying ‘yes’ • Card saying ‘no’ • Sticky tack – optional
How do I play this game? 1. Write silly questions that contain words that your child can sound out or words that can be sounded out and Tricky Words. 2. Stick the ‘yes’ card at one side of the room or space and the ‘no’ card at the other. 3. Ask your child to read the silly question. You may need to support them to sound out the words or help them read the tricky words. 4. When your child has read the word, give them some thinking time to answer the question. 5. On your say so, they can walk/run/hop to the ‘yes’ or ‘no’ card. As long as your child can read the question to you and give you a reason why they went to ‘yes’ or ‘no’, then their answer is valid. If they want to be silly, that’s ok! 6. Repeat steps 3 – 5 for other silly questions.
Day 4
DESIGN YOUR OWN BOARD GAME Suitable for: • Sounds (graphemes) • Decodable words (words you can sound out) • Tricky or Common Exception Words What do I need? • Dice • Counters / buttons / old lids • Game board – make your own How do I play this game?
1. Design your own game board using sounds or words from the word bank on page 10.
2. Have one counter for each player. The first player rolls the dice and moves that many spaces. When they land on the sound or word, they have to say the sound or read the word. If it is a decodable word, you may need to support your child to sound it out. You could also write the sound buttons underneath the word to help your child sound out the word. If they cannot read the word then they move back to the previous space.
3. Each player takes it in turns until one player gets to the end square and is the winner.

Day 5
STEPPING STONES/PUDDLE JUMPING
Suitable for: • Sounds (graphemes) • Decodable words (words you can sound out) • Tricky or Common Exception Words
What do I need? • Card or paper ‘stepping stones’ or ‘puddles’ • Pen • Wellies (for fun!)
How can I play this game? 1. Write sounds or words on the card ‘stones’ or ‘puddles’. 2. Spread the words out on the floor or outside. 3. Encourage your child to hop onto a ‘stone’ or into a ‘puddle’ and read the word they have landed on. Ensure care is taken if the surface is slippery. If you are playing the games as ‘Puddle Jumping’, your child could wear their wellies as they jump between the ‘puddles’.
Some children will also need consolidation of phase 4/5 phonics, please use the
following links to help with this as well as phase 5 cards:

Literacy – This week we will be looking at riddles.
Day 1
Exploring riddles allows you to be a detective and a spy, following clues, and
writing in code.
A riddle is a statement or a question with a hidden meaning that forms a puzzle to
be solved. A “riddle rhyme” is a riddle that is written in the form of a poem.
Riddles are often set out in short verse, and have been found across the world
throughout history; in Old English poetry, Norse mythology, Ancient Greek
literature, and the Old Testament of the Bible!
It’s a good idea to look at some riddles before you start to write your own, so you
can get a feel for the way they work. Have a look at the examples on resource day
1.
Read the riddles and write the answer underneath.
Day 2
Use the work sheet from resource day 2.
Read the features around the edge of the riddle. Read the riddle and when you
notice one of the features, highlight it.
Have you found all the features?
Day 3
Look at the photos on resource day 3. Write down things about each picture.
Use what you have written to write a riddle about 5 of the pictures.
The Rules
Don’t give away the answer by using the exact word in your riddle.
Try not to use more than 5 or 6 lines, because a riddle should be easy to
remember.
It doesn’t have to rhyme, but it can if you like.
Finish with the line ‘What am I?’
Day 4 Can you write your own riddle? Pick a farm animal to write a riddle about.
Writing a riddle is the reverse of solving a puzzle – you have to start with the answer. So first, choose an animal to write about.
Once you know the solution, you have to think of the clues that will lead someone to guess it. Imagine you are that thing, and describe yourself.
You can use sentences such as:I look like…
I sound like…
You find me…
I have…
I am…
I feel…’
Year 2 Home Learning Pack Week 14 Week Commencing Monday 13th July 2020
Day 5 Today, choose anything you like to write a riddle about but we are going to extend our riddle writing.
Try to use your imagination, and think of creative descriptions – if something is round like a ball, you could say ‘shaped like the earth’, or ‘a swollen circle’.
Extend yourself further and try to add a second part to the sentences, which starts with ‘but’.
Here is my own example – I wonder if you can guess it?
I am a green ball that doesn’t bounce After I’ve been popped from my green house.
I’m good to eat, but not with a fork; I’d help teach the alphabet if I could talk.
What am I?
Year 2 Home Learning Pack Week 14 Week Commencing Monday 13th July 2020
Day 1
I have streets but no pavement, I have cities but no buildings, I have forests but no trees, I have rivers yet no water. What am I?
You may enter, but you may not come in, I have space, but no room, I have keys, but open no lock. What am I?
What does man love more than life, fear more than death or mortal strife, what the poor have the rich require, and all contented men desire. What misers spend and spendthrifts save and all men carry to the grave?
*Answers: A Map; A Computer keyboard; Nothing

Please note that because we are a mixed year group class, we re-
designed our coverage time table which means that the home learning
slides on White Rose do not correspond with our timetable this week.
This week in year 2, we’re looking at statistics.
We have touched on statistics just before Easter so children may
remember some aspects.
Year 2 Home Learning Pack Week 14 Week Commencing Monday 13th July 2020
Day 1: Lesson 6 Children use horizontal and vertical pictograms and answer questions in
order to show their understanding of interpreting data.
Remember to look at how much each picture is worth. If the picture is worth 10 and only
half the picture is there, then you must half 10 to get the correct amount.

Day 2: Lesson 7: Today, choose which questions to answer. If you feel confident with
pictograms then skip the first set of questions and jump straight to the second page but if
you’re not quite sure then just stick with the first page 😊 Children continue to interpret pictograms and now answer true or false questions. Children on this sheet have a
variety of different statements.
First work out how many of each animal.

Day 3: Lesson 8: Bar charts.
Children now work with block diagrams or bar charts. (Ideally, they should have an
opportunity to build block diagrams using blocks, Lego or cubes.) Children check the scale
of their chart and answer questions to show their level of understanding.
Below are some different charts and diagrams. Each one goes up in a different scale. Read
the numbers on the scale to the left to see how much each block is worth before
answering the questions.

Day 4: Lesson 9 Drawing block diagrams.
Can you put the data collected into a block diagram using coloured pencils?
Remember, look carefully at the scales as each bar graph goes up in a different
amount therefore each block will be worth a different number.
Year 2 Home Learning Pack Week 14 Week Commencing Monday 13th July 2020
The following questions are trickier. (If you do not feel secure with the
previous questions – please skip this one.)
You will need to work out what each block is worth and add your own scale to
the left.

Day 5: Lesson 10. – Mastery. Again, today there is a choice of questions. If
you feel confident with the previous learning then skip the first set of
questions and jump straight to the second page but if you’re not quite sure
then just stick with the first page 😊
You are presented with a variety of data in the form of tally charts, pictograms
and block diagrams. Cut these out and make your own set questions for the
data. You can either answer your own questions or ask someone else to answer
them. (You must know the answer too so you can mark them right or wrong)
