Friday 22nd May 2020 - Southill Primary School

Welcome to Friday’s learning at home.

Spelling Assessment

Today we would like to find out how well you have learnt your spellings this week. Grown-ups, please read the following sentences to your child for them to write:

I will use this tricky word in my story.
I will work hard on my learning at home.
The bird found a worm to eat.
Where in the world is Wally?
Kind words are worth much and cost little.

Spellings are not set for the holidays so enjoy a week off next week!

Some families have requested the remaining words due after half term. If you would like to continue learning spellings after half term you can find the words here:

English Task

Today we would like you to continue writing your innovated story. Remember to use the every time tool kit. If you get your story finished today and have some time to look back and edit it then please think about the three ways to edit and improve your writing: corrections, additions and substitutions. Can you correct any spelling mistakes or add missing punctuation? Can you add some exciting adjectives or adverbs? Or maybe take things further and add an extra sentence or two in different places to add more detail or description? Can you make some changes, replacing words or phrases with something more detailed or exciting? Please share you finished stories with us, we are really looking forward to reading them.

Arithmetic Task

It’s time for you to show us how good you are at remembering multiples of three. Please count back in threes, writing the numbers, in order, from 36 to 0.

Show your grown-up who will mark them for you. Please let us know how well you did. Good luck!

After half term please continue practising your recall of the 2, 5 and 10 times table facts using TT Rockstars.

Maths task

Today we would like you to have a look at the BBC maths lesson for today. You can find this at https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/tags/z7s22sg/year-2-and-p3-lessons/1

As you know, after half term we are directing you to the BBC for daily lessons. There is no expectation for you to continue with MNP and we will not be available to provide daily support once we are back working in school full time. Children in school will be following the daily BBC lessons. However, some parents have asked for the following information so we are sharing it with you all. The remaining chapter we were due to cover is Chapter 14, lessons 1, 2, 3 & 4 (Time). The requirement by the end of year 2 is to be able to tell the time to five minute intervals including quarter past and quarter to, drawing hands on a clock to represent these times, sequence intervals of time and know the number of minutes in an hour and hours in a day. As telling the time is a vital life skill you may like to encourage your child to tell and use time during your every day activities.
