Year 2 Home Learning for w/c 15th June 2020

Maths

Day 1: Let’s start the week with number bonds. First warm your brain up by practising all the ways to

make 10 and 20. Do this however you want, you can play Hit The Button too:

Downloadable worksheets are available here:

A challenge game is available at the end of the document.

Day 2: Let’s do our times tables today. 2’s, 5’s and 10’s. Warm your brain up by counting in your

multiples out loud. Practise in your favourite way, maybe a song, a game or you might have a

practise book at home. Downloadable sheets are available here:

http://www.snappymaths.com/multiplication/2510xtab/2510xtab.htm

Challenge question: Ben has between 20 and 30 fireworks. He sorts them into groups of 5 and he has

2 left over. He sorts them again but this time into groups of 2 and he has 1 left over. He sorts them into

groups of ten and he has 7 left over.

How many fireworks does Ben have? Use manipulatives to work through the problem.

Day 3: Let’s do some addition today. Warm up your brain by adding together 2 1-digit numbers, this

skill is needed for column addition. You could say some out loud, get an adult to quiz you, do a speed

drill, downloadable here: https://www.math-

drills.com/addition/addition_five_minute_frenzy1_0110_001.php

Or play a game online: https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/mental-maths-train

Use your favourite method for these additions, you will need a separate piece of paper to do

your working out. Start at the bottom of the mountain.

Day 4: Subtraction today. Warm up your brain by counting backwards, then rehearse taking away a

1-digit from a 1-digit – you need to be able to do this accurately for column subtraction. You could

say some out loud, get an adult to quiz you, do a speed drill, downloadable here: https://www.math-

drills.com/subtraction.php#horizontal-subtracting-single-focus-digits

or play a game on-line: https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/mental-maths-train

Watch out for re-grouping:

Day 5: We were part-way through ‘Rotation and Angles’ before school stopped. This lesson from Oak

Academy picks up roughly from where we were. Have a go with this. If it is too hard, go back to

lesson 10.

English

Day 1

Read ‘Waiting by the Window’ by A.A. Milne (see below). As you read it, underline or highlight the

rhyming words at the end of each sentence. Look at the spelling of each rhyming pair of words and

see if they use the same phonemes or are different. Have a go at writing 2 sentences about 2 flies

having a race across a window. And see if you can make the final 2 words rhyme. If you want a

challenge, try a write 4, 6 or 8 sentences.

Waiting At The Window By A. A. Milne

These are my two drops of rain

Waiting on the window-pane.

I am waiting here to see

Which the winning one will be.

Both of them have different names.

One is John and one is James.

All the best and all the worst

Comes from which of them is first.

James has just begun to ooze.

He's the one I want to lose.

John is waiting to begin.

He's the one I want to win.

James is going slowly on.

Something sort of sticks to John.

John is moving off at last.

James is going pretty fast.

John is rushing down the pane.

James is going slow again.

James has met a sort of smear.

John is getting very near.

Is he going fast enough?

(James has found a piece of fluff.)

John has quickly hurried by.

(James was talking to a fly.)

John is there, and John has won!

Look! I told you! Here's the sun!

Day 2

Read ‘On the Ning Nang Nong’ by Spike Milligan (there is also a very old video of Spike Milligan

saying his poem on YouTube). As you read it, underline or highlight the words that are nonsense

words. Then have a go at replacing each nonsense word with your own VERY SILLY choice of

nonsense words.

On The Ning Nang Nong By Spike Millagan

On the Ning Nang Nong Where the Cows go Bong!

and the monkeys all say BOO! There's a Nong Nang Ning Where the trees go Ping!

And the tea pots jibber jabber joo. On the Nong Ning Nang

All the mice go Clang And you just can't catch 'em when they do! So its Ning Nang Nong

Cows go Bong! Nong Nang Ning

Trees go ping Nong Ning Nang The mice go Clang

What a noisy place to belong is the Ning Nang Ning Nang Nong!!

Day 3 Read ‘The Owl and the Pussycat’ by Edward Lear. This is also a nonsense poem but see if you can make sense of it. Have a go at drawing a picture of the owl and the pussy cat getting married and some of the other strange things that happen to them.

The Owl and the Pussy-Cat By Edward Lear

The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea In a beautiful pea-green boat, They took some honey, and plenty of money,

Wrapped up in a five-pound note. The Owl looked up to the stars above,

And sang to a small guitar, "O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love, What a beautiful Pussy you are,

You are, You are!

What a beautiful Pussy you are!"

Pussy said to the Owl, "You elegant fowl! How charmingly sweet you sing! O let us be married! too long we have tarried:

But what shall we do for a ring?" They sailed away, for a year and a day,

To the land where the Bong-Tree grows And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood With a ring at the end of his nose,

His nose, His nose,

With a ring at the end of his nose. "Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling

Your ring?" Said the Piggy, "I will." So they took it away, and were married next day

By the Turkey who lives on the hill. They dined on mince, and slices of quince, Which they ate with a runcible spoon;

And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, They danced by the light of the moon,

The moon, The moon,

They danced by the light of the moon.

Science and History The life of Sir Isaac Newton. Watch this video about Sir Isaac Newton. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmJoPCZj1_Q He was a famous scientist who discovered (not invented!!!!) gravity. You can find out about gravity in lots of videos. Here is just one that might help you to understand.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suQDwZcnJdg In school we would have done a few experiments to help you to understand gravity such as dropping different weighing objects and seeing which one hits the ground first. A good way to watch gravity in action is to try and stop an object from falling to the ground and a good example of this is a marble run. If you have a marble run see how slowly you can make a

marble hit the ground or you could make one with paper, objects, furniture or even the stairs (make sure no one gets a marble dropped on their head!!!!) If you don’t have a marble, a round stone or a toy wheel might work. Here is one that someone else made. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opDTz8PdSY4

Below is a link to a video of the most amazing marble run I ever saw!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwedBdWIRuQ&safe=active

PE Continue to exercise for half an hour a day if you can, including following videos, going for a walk, run or bike ride or even fly a kite if it’s windy. Remember, if your parents say it’s ok, you can meet up with a couple of friends at the park and play a game as long as you are 2 metres apart. PE this half term would have been tennis. If you have a tennis racquet you could practise hitting the ball forearm, against a partner or a wall and try and hit it back and control it. If you don’t have a racquet, you could use your hand. Once you are good at controlling the ball and can hit it back 10 times, you could try and add some backhand shots too. Art This would have been lesson 2 about Claude Monet. We would have looked at some more of his pictures and then used a different medium to create our own. I have found a tutorial for your own version of his bridge which you could have a go at. If that looks a bit tricky, you could use paints or pencils to draw some bridges.

Roll 2 dice, make a two digit number (Ten and Ones) ie? Roll a 1 and then a 5: 15,

15 and 85 makes 100 so you colour in 85.

Colour the number bond to make 100 – 4 in a row wins
