Good morning Year 2!
We hope you are all doing well. Start the day with this money song - https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/supermovers/ks1-maths-money/zht4nrd
This can be an opportunity to review the topic again.
Have a look at the following website which helps parents to get their children moving with short interactive activities.
We will explain the structure on here each day but please refer to the additional uploaded documents for each specific lesson guidance and resources.
Reminders
Please collect an exercise book from the school office to complete your work in, you will be able to bring these into school when we are all back together.
You can also collect reading books from the school office whenever you need to. Please let the office know beforehand so we can get them ready for you.
Reading
It is essential that children continue to read every single day. This should be for a minimum of 20 minutes.
Don’t worry too much about the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of reading each day. Books are great— but leaflets, comics, recipes and instructions on a webpage can all be great too. Following a recipe to make some cupcakes is valuable reading. Be on the lookout for reading, wherever it is!
Oxford Owl – This resource has an exciting range of carefully levelled books to help children learn to read, and love to read.
If parents and children decide to use this resource, we ask they access phase 5 books. Go to https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/ and select ‘my class login’. Scroll down to the red box ‘eBook Library for Letters & Sounds’

Does your child know how to change the tense of a verb? Can they say both "I am playing on the field today" and "I played on the field yesterday"? This means they can understand how to change the present tense into the past tense.
There are certain rules we need to follow when changing verbs into the past tense.
What are the rules for changing verbs to the past tense?
For a regular verb, add "ed" to turn it into a past tense verb.
If a regular verb already ends in "e", make sure it ends in "ed".
If a verb ends in a "y", such as "hurry", you change it to an "i" and then add "ed". This becomes "hurried".
If a regular verb ends with one vowel and one consonant, double the consonant before adding "ed". For example, "wrap" would become "wrapped".
If a verb ends with a "c", you then need to add a "k" before "ed."
Please see attached ‘ed’ suffix game.
French
Can I name some pet animals in French?
Listen to this clip which gives the names of some pets. Repeat with the speaker.
Listen again and add an action for each animal this time, saying the word at the same time.
Repeat if possible. Then play a game of Mime – child mimes an animal, adult gives the word and vice versa.
Play a game to consolidate the vocabulary:
