Year 2 Blog - Penguins Class

Our final full week of autumn term is here! Thank you for your continued support with homework and help around school. The children have worked so hard and are ready to share their Christmas Concert with you tomorrow! 

Instead of a test next Monday, I have set a creative task for your child to complete and share with us during 'Show and Tell' afternoons. Please allow your child to choose some spellings (using your homework book or reading journal pages) they have found tricky this autumn 2. They are then to present new and different ways of practising these spellings at home. I have added in some examples for you so your child is inspired to think creatively. For Maths, there is a shape activity which shouldn't take your child too long to finish and complete (the majority of it) independently as they have worked really well at understanding our 2D shape unit. Please continue with reading at home as well as Doodlemaths and Spelling Shed for a few minutes at a time. Again, most of these online tasks are set so your child is able to complete these by themselves.

Have a great week!

Please find attached this week's spellings for next Monday's spelling test (11.12.23). For this week, your child has one spelling activity handwriting sheet for common exception words (to be completed independently) and a Maths activity based on recognising SD and 3D shapes, which shouldn't take your child too long to finish and complete (the majority of it) independently. Please continue with reading at home.  Your childdre have been so excited to show the office their completed reading pages and it is so wonderful to see what some of the children have been reading at home. Super work. Additionally,  Doodlemaths is set on Fridays so you should see some new assignments set for this week already as well as keeping up with the practice on Spelling Shed.  Again, most of these online tasks are set so your child is able to complete these by themselves.

Have a great week!

Please find attached this week's spellings for next Monday's spelling test (27.11.23). For this week, your child has one spelling activity handwriting sheet for the sound -y/-igh (to be completed independently) and a Maths revision activity which shouldn't take your child too long to finish and complete (the majority of it) independently. Please continue with reading at home.  Your child was given a Reading Journal Booklet last week and so you should be able to record your child's reading outside of school. Please try and stick to the reading journey that is in-line with our learning. Try not to skip ahead. Additionally,  Doodlemaths is set on Fridays so you should see some new assignements set for this week already as well as keeping up with the practice on Spelling Shed.  Again, most of these online tasks are set so your child is able to complete these by themselves.

Have a great week!

Please find attached this half-term's topic homework. Children are to complete at least one of the activities and for this to be shared by 15/12/23. As the children have really enjoyed their Castles topic, we have provided a list of activities for your child to choose from and complete at least one before the deadline date. 
 

Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Please find attached this week's spellings for next Monday's spelling test (13.11.23). Thank you for your ongoing commitment over the half-term holidays to ensure your child's learning remains fresh. Looking at the homework books, I can see all of the exciting things your families got up to from pumpkin carving to zoo visits etc. We enjoyed listening to these adventures during 'Show and Tell'. 

For this week, your child has only two spelling activity sheets (both can be completed independently) and a Maths revision sheet which shouldn't take your child too long to finish and complete (the majority of it) independently. Please continue with reading at home as well as Doodlemaths and Spelling Shed for a few minutes at a time. Again, most of these online tasks are set so your child is able to complete these by themselves.

Have a great week!

Hello,

I hope you're enjoying your holidays so far. In preparation for Monday's spelling test (06.11.23) please find the attached list to ensure your child is able to keep practising in their homework book.

Thank you for the continued support this half-term in ensuring your child completes their weekly homework tasks.

*Please listen to your child read at least 3 time a week. Please use the phonics links sent to you (if applies) as a way to keep phonics learning fresh and secure.

*Try to stay in the green zone on doodle by completing your '5 a day' and your assignments. Hopefully, this is a quick activity for your child - it really does make such a difference to their maths fluency and helps their maths to become more automatic.

*Please ensure your forest schools kit including wellies are in school on Fridays and that PE kit is in school on Mondays and Fridays. Please feel free to leave kit in school now that we have our lovely, new cloakrooms where we have plenty of storage!
