Home Learning W/C 15.7.24

Spelling: Below are the Year 2 common exception words - words that do not follow normal phonics rules. We have learned all of them over the course of the year, see how many you  can spell correctly.

Reading - Please remind children to bring their reading records with them to school every day. Our goal is to have everyone in Swift class reading at least 5 times each week and fill our records with gold stars! Reading records will be checked and books will be changed on a Friday, but it is important that children have their books each day so that adults can record their reading at school.

 

Handwriting - Practise all the joins we have worked on in Year 2 - both diagonal joins and horizontal joins:

 

 

Computing - Our computing this half-term is about using tools to create digital music. Have a play on Chrome Music Labs and see what you can create!

Maths - Children can continue to use their Times Tables Rockstar logins at home. 5-10 minutes a day is great for improving their fluency and recall of the 2, 5 and 10 times tables!
