MYTCHETT PRIMARY ACADEMY – HOME LEARNING – YEAR 2 WEEK BEGINNING: 29/6/20

Maths

Task 1 Logon to your Doodle Maths account. Here, you will find a couple of activities on comparing and sequencing intervals of time.

Task 2 Have a go at the activities on the following pages. 1) Can you put the times in order from earliest to latest?

2) Can you write the correct times into the table? Read the clues carefully! 3) Use the <, > and = symbols to compare the lengths of time you have been given. 4) Order the amount of time from the shortest amount of time to the longest amount of time.

Task 3 Using what you know about time, answer the problem solving questions on the following pages.

You will need to think about how to explain your ideas clearly in sentences.

English

Task 1 - Phonics Mrs Cope’s Group This week we are focusing some more on the different spellings of the ‘oo’ sound (the same sound as we hear in the word ‘moon’). Have a go at the activities on the following pages. Miss Russell’s Group This week we continuing to look at words that have an ‘l’ sound at the end. There are four different endings that make this sound (le, el, al and il). Have a go at the quiz on the following pages! Each word has an ‘l’ ending. Think carefully - it is ‘le’, ‘el’, ‘al’ or ‘il’? You might need to test a couple of different endings to see which one looks right.

Task 2 – Reading All this sunny weather is making me think of my favourite summer adventures – one of those is camping! Read the story called ‘The Camping Trip’ and have a go at answering the questions (either in your virtual learning book or on the sheet).

Task 3 – Writing Last week we read the story of The Jungle Book and you wrote some amazing setting descriptions of the jungle! This week, I want us to look at Mowgli’s character Start by thinking about Mowgli’s character. What is he like? How does he behave? What does he look like?

Plan your ideas carefully, thinking about different types of words you can use and how you can add detail. Then, use these to help you develop sentences.

Wider Curriculum

DT This week, we are going to be exploring Indian food! Start by looking at the information text, pictures and videos on this webpage: https://www.oddizzi.com/teachers/explore-the-world/country-close-up/case-study-india/living-in-india/food/ Have you ever tried any of these foods? With your family, try making a few typically Indian foods. Below are some links to recipes you could try below. https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipe/vegetable-samosas https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/onion-bhajis-raita https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/chapatis

Please share your photos of your Indian inspired feasts with me on SeeSaw and tell me all about the foods that you tried! I wonder if you will have a favourite? Computing If it is possible, use a word processing package (like Microsoft Word) to create a menu for the food you are serving at your Indian restaurant. Have a go at experimenting with the formatting by combining text and images and using bold, underline and colour to make the presentation effective. If you are not able to use a word processing package, you can make your menu by hand. Make sure you include some pictures too! Choir and Dance Videos Mrs Pain is missing Choir and Dance club so has been busy making some videos for you to join in with! Anybody can have a go! You can find them by clicking on the link below: http://homelearning.mytchett.kite.academy/

If you manage to get through all of these learning tasks – as well as reading, mental maths practice

and spelling practice - and are looking for more, explore our school website where you will find a

schedule of live lessons and lots of helpful resources for you to take your learning further.

Maths – Task 2

Maths – Task 3

English – Task 1 (Mrs Cope’s Group)

Sort the words into the correct column, thinking carefully about the spelling of their ‘oo’ sound.

Challenge!

Can you write a sentence using as many ‘oo’ words as possible? It can be a bit crazy if you want it to

– as long as it still make sense! I wonder how many of the different ‘oo’ spellings you will be able to

include in your sentence?

English – Task 1 (Miss Russell’s Group)

Have a go at this quiz! Each word has an ‘l’ ending. Think carefully - it is ‘le’, ‘el’, ‘al’ or ‘il’? You

might need to test a couple of different endings to see which looks right.

1) These are often bright colours and make up a flower.

Can you come up with a clue or question of your own that has an ‘l’ ending in the answer? Share

your idea on SeeSaw and I will see if I can work out the answer!

English – Task 2

English – Task 3

Use this page to plan your ideas. Make a mindmap of interesting vocabulary and phrases that you

would like to include in your description of Mowgli. Remember to include what type of person he is

as well as what he looks like. The more ideas you can jot down, the better so look at the picture in

detail for ideas! Make sure you think of all of the different word types we have learned.

Nouns – What is it? Name what you are describing (e.g. hair, scars).

Adjectives – Can you describe the noun? What is it like? (e.g. independent, scruffy)

Verbs – An action word. What is it doing? (e.g. climbing, exploring)

Adverbs – How is it doing that? Describe the verb. (e.g. confidently, bravely)
