Home learning Friday 6th February 2026

Happy Friday! What a lovely week we have had. Everyone looked amazing dressed up as kings and queens yesterday.

Just a heads up that on the first Tuesday back from half term (24th February) we will be celebrating Lunar New Year. We invite children to come dressed in red, or as it is the year of the horse, they can wear something with a horse on. 

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

Here are the common exception words we would like you to practise this week...

city

fancy

cycle

circle

face


Remember the rule we learnt about the letter c...

If the vowel after the C is A, O, or U, the C has a hard sound. If the vowel after the C is E, I, or Y, its sound is soft.


You can practise these however you like. Look back at our previous home learning days for ideas such as bubble writing, rainbow writing or fancy letters.



Maths

This week we have been learning about 2D and 3D shapes.

Have a look below and see if you can work out the names of these 3D shapes...


(A tetrahedron is the same as a triangular based pyramid!!!)



Here are some more 3D shape activities for you to try:

Can you guess the 3D shape?
