Monday 13th 5-5:45pm - Year 2 disco 

Thursday 16th July - Break the rules day (please see parentmail for information.)

Thursday 16th July 4-6 - Open evening. Come and see all the amazing work the children have been doing and visit their new classes. Please bring a plastic bag with you as this will be a good time to take home class books. 

Friday 17th July - Inset day 

Monday 20th July 9:30am - Sports Day

Wednesday 22nd July - Last day of term. (finish at usual time)


Have a wonderful summer break!





Please see the activities below if you would like to practise anything over the holidays...


Reading

As always, please read every day. 

If you have not yet finished one of the reading rocket challenges, you can finish these over the summer and your Year 3 teacher will give you your badge or prize in September.

The library also has a summer reading challenge so there is no reason for you to stop looking at books over the holidays! You can find information about it here...

https://summerreadingchallenge.org.uk/


Don't forget, you can also log on to bug club phonics.

Spelling

Please practise the words you find most difficult, including writing them in your neatest handwriting!




Maths

In maths we have learnt lots of different calculation skills over the year.

If you want to practise the methods that we use for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, there are videos here that you can watch...









You might like to play one of these games once you've practised these methods...

https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/306/Maths-Fishing-Multiplication

For the fishing game you will need to choose which skill to practise. In school, we have only learnt the 2, 5, 10 and 3 times tables, so choose from one of those!



This week's task

As this is our final week of home learning we want you to think back over the past year and answer the following questions...

Which things have you enjoyed about Year 2?

Is there anything that you didn’t like about Year 2 or anything you would like to change?

What advice would you give to someone who was starting Year 2 next year?


When you have thought about the answers, please ask an adult at home to email us with your answers! (year2@whiteleyapps.com)
