Hello again from all the adults in Year 2. Please remember as you go about completing this home learning that our priority is reading, writing and maths so use your time to complete the tasks set for those. Pick and choose from the topic, science, RE and Art; there is no expectation to complete them all.
English tasks
This week’s English lessons continue to come from the Government’s online school, Oak National Academy. This week’s lessons follow on from the home learning that we sent on Friday 15th May. The lessons start with a teacher explaining the lesson and setting the tasks; the children can click through at their own pace, pausing the video when needed. All they need is a pencil and paper. We have found that the best internet browser to use for the lessons in order that the videos work is Google Chrome.
Lesson 1: To be able to make inferences
Lesson 2: To be able to make inferences- part 2
Lesson 3: To be able to identify the key features of a character description
Lesson 4: To able to identify and use expanded noun phrases
Lesson 5: To able to write a character description
Spelling
As part of the online lessons, there are weekly spellings set. This week these are:
| wild | climb |
| most | only |
| both | old |
| cold | gold |
| hold | told |
On SUMDOG, you will find set spelling challenges to be completed. In addition, below is a copy of the Y1 and Common Exception word lists for you to learn at home.

Practical Mathematical Tasks in the Home
Please continue to check MyMaths where you will be set a series of tasks to complete each week as well as logging into Sumdog to develop your maths skills.
Science
Find out all about the parts of a plant. Draw and label plants and explain the function of each part e.g. The roots absorb water and minerals from the soil. The BBC Bitesize page linked will help you.

Peter and the Wolf.

Listen to this short piece of music and find the picture of the violin?
How does the music make you feel?
Can you move around to it?
Art
ANIMAL MAGIC!
For this week’s Art Challenge I would like you produce some art that is linked to ANIMALS! Your animal can live on the land, in the sea or the sky. If you prefer, you can make your own mythical animal from your own imagination… or even a fusion of two animals. It can be a drawing, a painting, it can be made from a kitchen roll tube, a painted stone, made from things you find in the woods or at the beach or anything else that you can think of. I’m sure you will create something ‘magical’, as always!
However, if this doesn’t appeal to you can still send any other art work to me and I will post that on the Blog too.
Please email your artwork to me:
n.pearson@stpeterswaterlooville.hants.sch.uk
Thank you
Keep creating and keep safe!
Mrs Pearson
