Red Class (Year 2)
Monday 24th - home learning (school closure)
Please see below some home learning to complete during the day of school closure. Take this opportunity to recap and remember learning that we have covered in the term. -Please also take some time to hear your child read their home reading books with a focus on fluency - re-read sentences once they have spent any time decoding.
Maths - addition and subtraction
Please remember we have full access to NUMBOTS and Times Tables Rockstars too. Both support and embed number skills in many areas of maths.

What can you do at home?
Continue daily reading.
Continue to practice maths fluency by using numbots and TT-rockstars.
Complete the spelling practice ready for Friday’s tests.
Complete any of the optional tasks.
PE days are Monday and Wednesday
Reading
Along with giving the children a reading book that matches their reading ability (as assessed in class) the children will also bring home a ‘reading for pleasure’ book. Red Class will visit the library weekly to select/change their own choice of book. Remember that even when your child can read it is still important that adults read to them to ensure that they continue to develop a love for books and can be exposed to new vocabulary.
Homework
Homework will be sent home each Friday.
A list of spellings will be sent home and then informally tested the following Friday. We will also expect the children to log onto Numbots and/or TT rockstars to complete some maths fluency practice. Daily reading is also a very important part in your child’s learning journey. This can be reading their school reading book and/or enjoying a reading for pleasure book of their choice.
KS1 - Optional extra home-learning tasks
1) Bake some cakes and decorate them using patterns. If your up for a challenge, write some instructions to tell somebody how you made them (you could even add pictures).
2) Make a donation to a local food bank and write or record a news report explaining why we do this at harvest time.
3) When you visit a shop use some coinage to pay for an item. Talk about the coins that you have used and what their value is.
4) Go on a scavenger hunt in an outside area. Collect a variety of natural objects. Talk about their texture and appearance. Sort them into different categories and explain how you have sorted them. Are there different ways that they can be sorted?
5) Go on a local walk/bike ride and talk about the surroundings. Can you name the features around you (hill, tree, car park, castle etc.)? Are they human (man-made) or physical (occur naturally)?
6) Think Eco! Re-use some recycling to construct your own junk-model creation. You could make a house, an animal or use your imagination to create something new.
