Home Learning for Friday 27th February 2026

Welcome back! We hope you had a good half term break! We have had another busy week in Year 2 and enjoyed our Lunar New Year celebrations on Tuesday. 

Next week will also be busy with World Book day on Thursday 5th and our visit to Waterstones on Friday 6th. We are looking forward to seeing the children's costumes on Thursday!

Please remember that if you need to contact us about anything this week, you can use our email address

year2@whiteleyapps.com 


Here are your home learning 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

This week we have been recapping our learning about fractions. Remember each fraction is an equal part of a whole! You can watch this video to remind you...

Then have a look at these pizzas. Can you explain what fraction each topping is of the whole pizza? (For example, the first pizza is 1/2 cheese, 1/4 pepperoni and 1/4 mushroom)









Then you might like to try this game...

This week's activity...

This week in geography we have looked at hot and cold places and have been starting to find out about China. 


You might like to sing these songs about the continents and oceans.

When you think you know them all, you could try playing this game to locate them on a map...





See if you can find out some China facts to add to what you have already learnt! This website might help you...

If anyone in your family has been to China, you might like to ask them about it and then email your teacher with what you found out! (year2@whiteleyapps.com)
