There will be no homework this week as on Friday the children will be going to their new classes for the first time, to meet their new teacher.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all of the support you have given your children with their homework this year. It has been wonderful to see so many of them being successful week after week.
We look forward to seeing you at the Open Afternoon on Friday.
Kind Regards,
Miss Rushton and Mrs Brown
This weeks spellings:
As part of phonics, the children have learnt about split digraphs.
This weeks spellings will be using split digraphs but with a different sound. The spellings are:
Love, give, have, five, glove, wave.
In maths we are applying our number skills to solve a variety of problems, including riddles and true or false addition calculations.
As we come to the end of our time in KS1, we wanted to finish with a homework that is slightly different.
Next Friday 6th July the children need to bring to school a book of their choice.
They will share the book with a friend, and explain why they have chosen it, thinking about the characters, plot and settings.
Each child will then take it in turns throughout the day to read their page aloud to the class. This will be filmed and put onto SeeSaw so that you can see their reading too.
Please could you practise the page your child will read with them throughout the coming week so that they are ready.
Kind Regards,
Year 2 Team
Dear Parents,
Next week our spellings will be linked to our Science learning all about animals and their habitats. The words will be:
living, micro-habitat, food chain, healthy, conditions
e.g. Penguins live in cold conditions.
The maths for next week will focus on the use of number bonds to make a total.
For example 62 + 18 they children will use their number bond knowledge 2+ 8 = 10 and then add 10 to 70 (60 + 10).
We will give them calculations such as: 53 + 27 or 16 + 24
Kind Regards,
Year 2 Team

Next week there will not be any new spellings.
Next week is our Phonics Screening Week. Any phonics sound or word practice you can do would be great.
We have told the children that it is our time to shine and show everyone what we can do! The children are ready to try there best and also stay really positive about the Screening Test.
Next week the spelling homework is linked to our work on adding the suffix -ly:
slowly, quietly, quickly, suddenly, happily
The maths homework is linked to our learning of times table. We will ask the children a multiplication question and they will need it answer it mentally, without drawing groups to support them. This is to support the new NC expectations that children will know all of their times tables, mentally, by the end of Year 4.
Questions will be from the 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 times tables, e.g:
3 x 4 =
6 x 5 =
Kind Regards,
Year 2 Team
Over the half term there aren’t any spellings to practice.
Instead, please practice reading phonics sounds and real and nonsense words from the pack given at the beginning of the year. You can also find loads of real and nonsense words on the Internet, including games to play.
Have a lovely half term!
