Home Learning in Year 2
Our Year 2 class is called Bramble Class – named after inspiration from the beautiful book, The Lost Words by Robert Macfarlane.
Curriculum Learning
In Bramble Class we learning about how transport has changed over time. We love learning about inventions for example the bicycle and the train. Our Geography curriculum is also full of interest as we learn about Cleethorpes, Cairo, UK landmarks and much more!
Each week children will bring home their home learning book. This will have a half termly menu with plenty of choice of learning tasks. These will range from creative tasks such as draw one of the ships sailed by Christopher Columbus or make a model space shuttle, to discussion tasks e.g. tell your parents 5 things that you have learnt about space travel. In addition to this, feel free to undertake your own ideas.
Reading at Home
Supporting reading by hearing your child read 5 times a week is invaluable. Practising reading is crucial to becoming a fluent reader. We ask that children read their school reading book 5 times a week and these reads can all be recorded in the child’s reading record. Certificates will be awarded at 25, 50, 75 reads and above. When 100 or 200 reads are reached, in addition to a certificate, children will receive a token for RORY. RORY, our reading vending machine, is full of great books that the children can choose from when they insert their token.
We also encourage the children to read a range of the following: Little Wandle reading books, Lexia, library books and their own choice of book/magazine/guidebook etc. This will help to develop a love of books and reading.
Times tables
Children will benefit from practising times tables on TT Rockstars, a great, fun APP that aids recall of facts. Tables tasks will be sent in home learning books to be completed during the half term.
PE
Please ensure that children bring the correct full outdoor/indoor PE kit. Long hair should be tied back please and children should have no earrings in for PE due to health and safety. Please LABEL ALL uniform and PE kit items.
Homework in Year 2
Each week the children will be set homework.
- Each half term home-learning will be assigned in connection to the main topic (History, Geography, Religious Education, Art, Design and Technology) or Science recall activity. Knowledge Organisers will be provided to aid the completion of the learning challenges.
- Please aim to read five times a week. This really helps children to practise their reading skills.
- Children all have a TT Rock Stars account. This game style platform encourages children to learn to recall times tables in a fun way. We would love it if children can practise at home whenever they have a little spare time.
