Year 2 Home Learning to be handed in Monday 31st March

LINES TO LEARN

Welcome Year 2 to the Easter Assembly story! Each Year each class form Year 2 to Year 6 takes one part of the Easter story and performs an assembly one each day over a week. Together we tell the story to the whole class and it is wonderful for everyone especially our youngest children. The assemblies help us to piece together the events of Jesus final days and his glorious reresection.

Year 2, we have the job of producing the opening assembly- telling the story of Palm Sunday (Monday 7th April). We have already started staging the play. We have limited time in the hall so it is super important that you know your line and who you come after before this Friday. We all have a line to learn. I have given everyone a copy of the script to take home and I have attached the script here too in case it is mislaid. Remember to practice with your biggest voice. I have also attached the song we are learning which we sing at the end “The Lord of the Dance”

MATHS- GAMES

I have given the children a copy of the maths games WEEK 3 of 5 on card and the instructions and diary. A massive thank you to parents who completed the diary last time (printing it out at home) and giving some feedback. Have fun with these. I’ve attached here again just incase the pack is mislaid.

HANDWRITING AND SPELLING

When marking I have noticed a join the children are struggling with - this is the r. I have given the children a practice sheet with this join (attached below too). I have also chosen 5 red word to learn. These are “words for life” they also have the r join in them. Ask your child to show you how we learn these spelling in school using a piece of paper folded into quarters. We write the word (correctly): then copy; then fold and hid to spell without looking; then we finally write it with our eyes closed.
