Good Morning Year 2,

Unfortunately another day of home learning. I hope you enjoyed doing the activities yesterday.

Only 9 more sleeps until Christmas, if you have an advent calendar I wonder what you got when you opened the door this morning- I got a chocolate star!

Follow the links again below to access your work for today. I look forward to seeing how you got on when we get back to school.

Click on the link above. You will need a pencil and a piece of paper for this activity. Otherwise, you can Fred talk your answer! Each word has the first sound missing. Click on the picture to hear the word. Choose the set of special friends that completes the word and then on your paper write the word. e.g. The first word is __ip, clicking on the picture you hear the sound 'sh' write the word ship. Repeat for each of the other words.

Maths

Continuing with our topic of money. Todays activity is to recognise and sort coins of different value. choose the sorting label and choose 2 coins. Sort the coins correctly into their boxes. Once you have completed that click on the ordering label and choose the 1p-20p, then try 1p-50p and finally Any 6 coins.

Hi Year 2,

We are sorry that you are not in school again today as it would be our Christmas party day. Perhaps you can get dressed up at home and practise your dance moves to some Christmassy music! I'm sure Eddy the elf will be dancing somewhere!

I have added some links below to activities that you can try throughout the day.

Phonics

On Phonics Play choose Phase 3 and click on Picnic on Pluto. Select Phase 3 and press the start button. Choose Phase 3 again and pick a sound to revise e.g. 'ur'. Decide if the words are real or fake. You can repeat the activity for different sounds if you would like.

It's all go this week in Year 2.

We've finshed alot of our topics like the Great Fire of London, your child should have brought home their book that they can keep.

We finished our music lesson this week with a performance of the song that we have been learning on Charanga, called Ho Ho Ho!

We had a visit from Rudy the Reading Elf, who brought us a special Christmas book to read - The dinosaur who pooped Christmas! (Mrs McGregor was a little bit green when reading it )

We had a visit from the Byker Fire and Rescue Crew on Thursday. Eddie the Elf managed to hide his way on the the appliance!

Eddie wasn't the only one to have an amazing time learning about the applience and all the other things that the fire fighters do as well as putting out fires.

DID YOU KNOW.. Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue has a Fire Boat on the River Tyne and that each appliance has a water rescue kit?
