Spellings and Grammar 

Today we will be practising the year 2 spellings: 

told, both, old, and cold 

Download the activity for this or have a go at ‘look, cover, write, check’. 

When you have practised the spellings, put each of them into a sentence. Make sure you check your sentences after for correct punctuation and spelling, perhaps you could try varying your sentences by including a question mark (for a question) and an exclamation mark if you write a scary/exciting or shocking sentence. E.g. ‘Has anybody told you that it is cold in the Arctic?’ 

You may do more than one sentence for each spelling- perhaps you can try and include more than one of the spellings in some sentences.  

Today we are going to learn a bit more about how animals survive in the polar regions. First watch the video about The Arctic and Antarctic again and write a list (remember to use commas) of some of the animals that are found in each.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1h-9TSu4wE&safe=true This short video may also be useful https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zrgygk7 

. 

Look at the powerpoint or watch Miss Ellgood read through it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sClq6anVofQ

 You might want to check this video out again too  

Choose two animals from each region and answer the question ‘How does this animal survive in its habitat?’

Today you are going to imagine that you are going on an expedition to the North Pole. Watch the video showing a good example and then complete the activity below (if you cannot print it write some sentences about what you would take with you).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9tF-ca7y2I 

Think about- 

*Food 

*Clothes 

*Equipment 

*A special item of your choice. 

You must use so or but in each of your sentences e.g. I will take a thick coat with me so that I can keep warm.’ 

I will take a tent but I will also need a sleeping back if I want to stay warm. 

Let's warm up to some tiger songs today! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30RnZP4L78w

This week we are going to continue to complete the activities from this circuit below- you may have already started recording your results which is great!  You should spend just one minute (60 seconds) on each activity. 

Target aim (throw something into a hoop/ a different target...be creative!) See how many you get in. 

*Sit ups 

*Catches (beanbag/ball or whatever you have access to) this could be how many catches you can do by yourself or with someone else.  

*Shuttle runs (see how many times you can run from one marker to another (this can be done in a small space). Don’t forget to ‘pivot’ when you are turning. 

Just like last week, record how many you did of each (see optional table to record on below). Have you improved any of your scores since last time?  If you find something tricky, please spend a little bit longer working on this skill.  

At the end of the session make sure you cool down. This slows down breathing and your heart rate as well as returns your muscles to their normal length to avoid stiffness and sire muscles the next day.  Use these videos for your cool down.

Today we are going to learn some more about the Arctic and Antarctic. 

 Watch Miss Ellgood read the English  powerpoint ‘ (or download and read it yourself). You may have already watched this to help you with your Geography yesterday. 

Write some sentences about what the physical and human features are in the Arctic and Antarctic. Try to use ‘but’ or ‘and’ in some of your sentences E.g. The Arctic and the Antarctic have mountains.  

Don’t forget to check your sentences for correct spelling, capital letters and full stops. If you spot any mistakes then change it in a different colour pencil. ‘Arctic’ and ‘Antarctic’ are proper nouns because they are the name of a place, so they MUST have capital letters.  

If you missed yesterdays learning please complete the following first.

*To start our geography learning today, remind yourself about some world facts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wg-pFtvsvmo 

This week we are going to start our learning about the polar regions. 

What are polar regions? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5VRoGTF60s

Look at a map/ globe/ Google Earth and identify the arctic regions. https://earth.google.com/web/  

Listen to Miss Ellgood share some facts with you about the polar regions (or look at the powerpoint yourself).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qvqaCYTIVY

Watch the videos below to learn more about the differences between the Arctic and The Antarctic.  

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1h-9TSu4wE 

We have written some facts about the Arctic and The Antarctic BUT they are all muddled! Sort them out into which polar region they match (see below).   

Tuesday's Geography; building on Monday's.

Take a look at these facts about polar bears https://www.dkfindout.com/uk/animals-and-nature/bears/polar-bear/  and watch the short video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEFASpHL9nM&safe=true   Write 2 ways that polar bears can survive in the Arctic. 

The lives of polar bears have been put in danger due to humans not taking care of the Earth.  There is oil in the Arctic Ocean and the ice is melting. This stops the polar bears being able to catch the food they need to give them energy (seals). Watch the video again with a grown up and write down one way that you and your family could help to save the polar bears by leading a more environmentally friendly life.  

Watch the video about The Arctic and The Antarctic.  

We got a bit muddled with animal lives where, can you sort the animals depending on where they live?  See worksheet.

Today we are thinking about what believers (of religious traditions) teach us about getting on with each other? 

Muslims have to observe five pillars of Islam; 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9U8T8x1AhQ 

• The declaration of faith 

•  Praying 5 time a day; 

•  Fasting for the full month of Ramadan 

• Giving compulsory charity as fixed by Allah on saving only called Zakah once every year; 

•  going to Makkah once in the life time to do Hajj in the month of Dhul Hajj, if financially affordable, 

Focusing on Hajj today and the aspect which teach people how we should interact with each other so that we could live together in peace: -During Hajj, Muslims wear special clothing called Ihram.

The purpose of this is to show equality and global citizenship; everyone is equal and. The world belongs to everyone and everyone has a responsibility for caring for it and everything that is in it.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=UUfdasSwHVsKAQ4xO5RGgQSA

Answer the questions below in full sentences, don’t forget your capital letters and full stops. Remember it’s good to look back at a text to help you to find the answers! If the question has the word ‘think’ in, you may need to look for the clues in the text but also think a bit for yourself.  

These questions are available on a printable sheet (see below).

1.What do magpies collect? 

2.Where do magpies take the things that they find? 

3. Where did the first ‘beautiful gift’ come from? 

4. Why do you think the magpie thought the can was beautiful? 

5. Why were there lots more ‘shimmering treasures’ at the edge of the wood? 

6. What damage was the magpie’s treasure doing to the woods? Why do you think he felt guilty? 

7. How did the magpie solve the problem to improve the woods again? 

8. What happens to the rubbish when it gets taken to the recycling plant? 

This week we are focusing on our local environment, so if possible, go on a walk around the locality. 

What can you see that makes it a pleasant place to live? 

What can you see that isn’t so nice? 

Maybe do a count of how much rubbish you see- you could record this on a tally chart.  

Consider how we all have a part to play in looking after our local environment.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMaIJNNaClE 

Recognise there are many different family make-ups but they are all equally valid and those differences should be respected. 

Activity – create an imaginary family and write a sentence about what makes them a family. 

Please start your Maths learning with some quick mental arithmetic. If you have access to a PC/tablet, this should be using the set 'daily 10' challenge (see link) which today is 'Level 2, Multiplication x5.  

Daily 10 - Mental Maths Challenge - Topmarks 

If your child doesn't have access to a PC/tablet then practise counting in 5s and writing down the number sentences (1x5=5 etc).  

If your child has found this week’s work challenging, please just focus on them being able to recognise numbers and a number square quickly today instead. You could call a number out and get them to circle it or play ‘Helicopter  Rescue’ ‘Find a number’. 

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/helicopter-rescue

If they are ready to move on, do the activity below:  

Today we will be looking at adding ‘near 10’ to 2 digit numbers. 

Use your knowledge of adding 10 on a number square; when adding 9, remember that it is only one less than 10 so the easy way to do it would be to add 10 and take away 1. Similarly, when adding 11 we could do add 10 and then add one more.  Have a go at completing these calculations: 

24+9=   32+9=   51+9=   43+11=   72+11=   66+11= 

Now try adding 9 and 11 to some other numbers up to 100.

Spellings and Grammar 

Start your lesson with this verb game (remember a verb is a doing word). https://www.softschools.com/language_arts/grammar/verb/balloon_game/ 

Today we will be practising the year 2 spellings: 

Find, kind, mind, behind, child 

You can either download the activity for this or have a go at ‘look, cover, write, check’ as well as putting these spellings into a sentence. Make sure you check your sentences after for correct punctuation and spelling, perhaps you could try varying your sentences by including a question mark (for a question) and an exclamation mark if you write a scary/exciting or shocking sentence. E.g. ‘Can you help me find my keys?” 

We are learning about the ocean habitat and animal adaptations. 

What is an ocean habitat? 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zx882hv/articles/zsfkd2p 

We are learning about how some sea creature are adapted to their environment.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zs2jmp3 

A look at how fish are adapted to live in water, including the use of camouflage. At the Sea Life Centre in Brighton, there are sea creatures of different types, shapes and colours with one thing in common – they are all well adapted to life in water. One such adaptation is the use of camouflage. Some fish use a dull, plain colour to blend in with their background, while others, such as tropical fish, are brightly coloured to match the coral of their habitat. 

https://study.com/academy/lesson/ocean-animal-adaptations-lesson-for-kids.html 

This is a has some interesting short videos about the adaptions of several sea creatures.  The first few minutes of the videos tell you some good information e.g. The beginning part of this is about breathing in the ocean; whales blow holes and fishes gills. 

 After this it then asks you to subcribe but you don't need to do this to watch the short clips. I think these short videos tell us just enough very succinctly. 

Choose a few of these creature and draw a picture of them and write a sentence explaining what you have found out about how they are adapted to live in the ocean.

Also addition fun information about aquatic creatures can be watched on CBB Andy’s Aquatic Adventures.

Today we will be looking at subtracting multiples of 10 from 2-digit numbers. Start your lesson with chopper squad again Chopper Squad More or Less - Mental Maths Game - 5 to 7 Year Olds (topmarks.co.uk). 

The rule that we need to know when subtracting a multiple of ten is that the tens get smaller but the units stay the same! Take a look at Miss Ellgood’s video to show you how to do this.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZ2puhxWhL8

If you have a number square (see attachment below or use the interactive number square http://www.mathszone.net/mw/number/100sq/index.html ) have a go at picking a range of 2-digit numbers and subtract 10 from them. Write down your number sentences ,e.g. 23-10=13. 

Now have a go at subtracting 10 from some other 2 digit numbers. Alternatively you could continue with your work using the number square activity from yesterday (see below).

An adverb tells us more about a verb and often ends in the suffix –ly. For example, in the sentence ‘The man walked quickly’ the adverb ‘quickly’ tells us how the man is running. 

Look at the sentences below (or open the file) and re-write it using an interesting ‘said’ word and an adverb from the word bank (replace the hightlighed words). 

“At last,” he said “I have found my paradise.” 

“At last,” he cried joyfully. “I have found my paradise.” 

1.”POOH! There is nothing on this planet but mess!” He said. 

2.”Build me a rocket to reach the stars.” He said.

Warm up to ‘Fit Friday Favourites Video’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aH_q9AX9zwc  

A warm up prepares the body for physical activity in the following ways: 

Increases heart rate 

1. Makes muscles and joints more flexible 

1. Helps oxygen get to your muscles 

1. Increases your body temperature 

Each week we are going to complete the activities from this circuit below. You should spend just one minute (60 seconds) on each activity. 

Target aim (throw something into a hoop/ a different target...be creative!) See how many you get in. 

*Sit ups 

*Catches (beanbag/ball or whatever you have access to) this could be how many catches you can do by yourself or with someone else.  

*Shuttle runs (see how many times you can run from one marker to another (this can be done in a small space). Don’t forget to ‘pivot’ when you are turning. 

Every week we would like you to record how many you did of each (see optional table to record on below) in hope that this improves each time. If you find something tricky, please spend a little bit longer working on this skill.  

At the and of the session make sure you cool down. This slows down breathing and your heart rate as well as returns your muscles to their normal length to avoid stiffness and sire muscles the next day.  Use these videos for your cool down.

Today we will continue looking at 2-digit numbers by comparing them. The instructions below can be found in the document titled ‘Greater than and Less than’ if you wish to complete the problems on a printed sheet.  

In year 2 you need to understand the symbols Greater than > (which points up the number line/ruler where the numbers get bigger) and Less Than <. The other important symbol is Equal To/the Same As =.  

Have a go at using these symbols in the game Greater Alligator where the alligator eats the biggest number.

Start with this game:

ttps://www.softschools.com/math/greater_than_less_than/alligator_greater_than_game/  

Using a number square (see attachment below or use the interactive number square http://www.mathszone.net/mw/number/100sq/index.html ) find a number that is: 

Greater (>) than 67 

Less (<) than 12

Greater (>) than 18 but less (<) than 22 

Greater (>) than 41 but less (<) than 43 

Greater (>) than 91 but less (<) than 100 

Greater (>) than 38 but less (<) than 40 

Greater (>) than 56 but less (<) than 58 

Fill in the blanks using these symbols > < =. (Remember, the alligator eats the biggest number so this helps determine which way your symbol is facing.)

Friday

Science

Local environment animals and their homes/adaptations.  

Visit the Wildlife Trusts website and write down the names of 3 of the different habitats that can be found in the UK. Draw a picture of each habitat and write down 3 animals that can be found in them (e.g., In Europe you might find a European badger, a woodpecker and a tawny owl.) Don’t forget to use your knowledge of commas in a list when listing the animals.  

Read about some of the animals and write down some of your favourite facts. Which of these habitats do we have in our local area? 

Over time, animals have adapted so that they can successfully survive in the habitats around them. At school we see lots of squirrels. Watch the video and discuss the question ‘How do squirrels adapt to their environment?’
