Home Learning for Friday 28th February

February 27, 2025

Hello everyone!

Welcome back! We are ready for another fun filled half term. Hopefully you received a curriculum newsletter this week with the information about our new learning journey. It's going to be a busy half term! Don't forget the important dates coming up...

Over the half term, children will be making a range of artefacts and we will be displaying these in a class museum in the final week. We would like to invite you to come and look at our museums once they are done. You can either come and visit at 3pm on Monday 31st March, or at 8.30am on Tuesday 1st April. We look forward to seeing you then!

On Wednesday 26^th March we will be celebrating all of our learning about monarchs with a Kings and Queens dress up day. On this day we would like children to pick a real king or queen to dress up as. They can be from any country and any time period in history or the current day. You can still wear your Disney princess dresses, but we’d like you to pretend to be someone real rather than fictional. Some current royals even wear ‘normal’ clothes, so you might not need a fancy dress costume at all. The important thing is that the children find out about a real king or queen and can tell us about who they are when they come into school.

If you have any questions, just email us at year2@whiteleyapps.com

Here are your activities for this week...

Reading

As always, please read every day. This might be your reading book from school or a book from home. Don't forget, you can also log on to bug club phonics.

Spelling

This week we have been spelling words where the letter y makes an 'igh' sound. Here are the words for you to practise this week...

cry, fly, dry, why, by, July

Don't forget that there are lots of ways to practise your spellings in a practical way rather than just writing them with paper and pencil!!!

Maths

Have a look at this maths problem. It's a really tricky one so you might have to use trial and error. Try it out with a certain number of coins in the first pile and if it doesn't work, think about whether you need to start with more or less coins and try again! Keep persevering until you get there! Please email your teacher if you need some help with it!

This week's task

This week we have learnt about three very important Queens. Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II. We would like your child to choose one of them and research more facts about their lives. If you'd like to email us some of the things you find out, then we'd love to hear from you!
