Year 2

Hello Year 2,

If needed, we will use Google Classroom for our remote learning. I will set tasks on this platform (the login details will be given to the children if/when needed).

Below are some other ideas for home learning. The suggested activities found below are not part of Google classroom, so they can be done at any time and do not need to be sent to me for checking. 

 

Maths

A great resource and well worth using https://classroom.thenational.academy/subjects-by-key-stage/key-stage-1 We are currently (January 2024) working on addition and subtraction, then onto multiplication and division. 

Numbots - An exciting resource available from Times Table Rockstars. The creators of Times Tables Rock Stars have produced a platform for boosting number recognition, addition and subtraction skills, called NumBots. It is important that your child develops efficient mental calculation strategies to add and subtract two-digit numbers, so that they can leave counting on their fingers behind, and NumBots will help do this.https://play.numbots.com/?#/game-mode. 

Lots of interesting maths activities to have a go at here https://uk.ixl.com/math/year-2

English (including reading/phonics)

During the spring term, some of our English will be linked to our history work on The Tudors. Work/tasks linked to this unit can be sent remotely, if/when needed. We will also be looking at 'The Bog Baby', leading to work on character descriptions. 

The Oak Academy is a great resource to use at home. Oak National Academy is an online classroom made by teachers. On the website are lots of different activities for your child to access under 'Key Stage 1'. https://classroom.thenational.academy/subjects-by-key-stage/key-stage-1
