Derwentwater Primary School Year 2 Homework

Each half term children will be given a poem to learn at home. Please practise it with them and encourage them to use intonation, expression and actions. They will be given time to perform it in class and some will even perform during a year group assembly.

I Don’t Want to Go into School by Colin McNaughton

I don’t want to go into school today, Mum, I don’t feel like schoolwork today.

Oh, don’t make me go into school today, Mum, Oh, please let me stay home and play.

But you must go to school, mu cherub, my lamb.

If you don’t it will be a disaster. How would they manage without you, my sweet?

After all, you are the headmaster!

Derwentwater Primary School Year 2 Homework Book Project Reading is part of all learning. Once a half term we want to find out more about a book you love. You can use any book you’ve read, including one not from school. You can: write a book report

create a poster

complete a book review booklet

write a character description

create a vocabulary tree

create a model of a scene

complete a storyboard

anything else you love that shows us how much you love that book.

These projects will be due that last week of the half term but feel free to bring

them in beforehand. Template are available from your teacher upon request.
