Good morning Year 2.
Well done for completing some wonderful pieces of work yesterday. We hope you had a happy start to the week and are looking forward to a fun day ahead. We really enjoyed starting our new story ‘The Day The Crayons Quit’ and we are looking forward to see what other brilliant pieces of work you will produce this week. You are all amazing and we are very proud.
This week it is Fairtrade week so at the end of the blog there will be a different activity all about Fairtrade so please have a go at these. Today have a think about this question:
What is a ‘choice’? Discuss with a sibling or an adult.
Reading
It is ESSENTIAL that children continue to read every single day. This should be for a minimum of 20 minutes.
Reading challenge - Today, try and record yourself reading a book and listen back to hear if you are using expression in your voice.
Resources for questioning your child while they are reading - VIPERS
Maths
Finding patterns in your numbers. Think about these things:
- What’s happening to the numbers?
- Can you spot the jumps between the numbers?
- What’s happening to the tens in the number?
- What’s happening to the ones in the number?
- Is it a single digit number?
- Is it a two-digit number?
- Can you notice a change in the ones/units when you are counting?
Use a hundred square or number line to help you look at the patterns whilst you are counting.

Spelling rules for /j/ spelt with '-dge' and '-ge'
The letter j is never used at the end of words.
The spelling -dge is used straight after short vowel sounds. Example: badge
Use –ge in words with all other vowel sounds and short vowel words that
have a consonant sound before the /j/ sound. Examples: cage, fringe
In other positions in the words, it is spelt g before e, i and y. Examples: giraffe, Germany, gymnastics
It is spelt j before a, o and u. Examples: January, job, jump
Please work through today’s PowerPoint presentation which gives a talks through this weeks spelling rule.

RE
Last Wednesday (17th February) was Ash Wednesday. Ash Wednesday is the start of Lent. Lent lasts for 40 days. During Lent we prepare for Easter. We remember that Jesus died for us on the cross and rose again.
Christians prepare for lent either by praying, fasting or spreading kindness. When we take part in Lent, we grow in love of God and other people.
For your lesson today, please write your Lenten Promise on the cross which is attached to the blog. You can decorate around your promise but try not colour over your writing.
Your promise should be ‘how you can be a better person’. Here are some ideas:
I promise to play nicely with my brothers and sisters.
I promise to make my bed every morning before school.
I promise to help with jobs around the house.
Your worksheets are attached on the blog.
You have a worksheet all about Lent and a cross to write your Lenten Promise.
Please take a picture of your Lenten Promise Cross and send it on SeeSaw.
