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.

Queue for the Zoo by Clare Bevan

Oh no! There’s a queue! What shall we do? Act like the animals

In the zoo…

Growl like tigers, Grizzle like bears,

Skip about like Mad March Hares, Squirm like snakes,

And squeak like rats, Flap our coats

Like vampire bats, Jump as high as

A kangaroo…

I’m glad we’re in a queue – Aren’t you?

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 like 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.
