Home Learning
Welcome to Year 2!
Each week, we will post an overview of our math's learning throughout the week and a maths Home Learning task, as well as information about weekly spellings too.
There are useful files in the file section such as Year 1 and 2 Common Exception Words and an activity pack for spelling practice, along with a 100 chart and blank handwriting sheet also.

This week in maths, we have continued with our topic of addition. We have been practising adding two 2-digit numbers, with renaming. This method does take practice, but the children have been working very hard. This week's maths Home Learning task is further practice of column addition. A sheet can be found inside the front cover of your child's Home Learning book. There is also a video explanation of the method at the bottom of this page.
For this week's spelling task, please continue working through your child's individual Year 1 Common Exception Words from the grids sent home. If they are secure with these words on their own and within a sentence, please begin practising the Y2 words.
Thank you for your support,

This week in maths, we have begun our topic of addition. The children have been making links between adding in ones and adding in tens (if we know 2+3 = 5 then we know 20 + 30 = 50) and have been practising adding two 2-digit numbers using column method.
For this week's maths task, a sheet with a variety of column addition questions has been put inside the front cover of your child's Home Learning book.
For this week's spelling task, please continue working through your child's individual Year 1 Common Exception Words from the grids sent home last week. If they are secure with these words on their own and within a sentence, please begin practising the Y2 words.

This week in maths, we have continued reinforcing our place value knowledge of numbers within 100, have practised partitioning numbers in different ways (e.g. 67 = 60+7 or 50 +17 etc...) and have been practising recognising and completing number patterns. We have been practising counting forwards and backwards on a 100 chart and finding different numbers. The children would benefit from additonal practice using the chart to count forwards and backwards from different starting points, particularly when you cross over into the next set of '10'. This week's Home Learning activity is additional practice of this key skill. Please click on the this link: https://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/helicopter-rescue and choose the 'count on and back' option along the top. There is also a Doodle assignment set to practise reading and writing number to 100 in numerals and words.
For this week's spellings, please continue to practise any outstanding Y1 Common Exception Words. We have assessed the children's spelling of Y1 words this week and have put a highlighted sheet of the words in the front cover of your child's Home Learning book, so you can see which words to work on. If your child is spelling all Year 1 words accurately, please begin to practise spelling Y2 words. We have uploaded blank 'look, cover, write, check' sheet if you would like to practise spellings in this way, or you may wish to practise these an alternative way e.g. flashcards, writing in water, writing the spellings in different coloured pens, seeing how many times you can write a word in a set time.
Take a look at your child's Borrow Book that they have chosen. They are always excited to share this with you, along with their own reading books.

We have been working so hard in Year 2! The children have been engrossed with our first topic 'Where We Live'. This half term's Home Learning Grid can be found in the files section and inside the front cover of your child's Home Learning book.
During maths, we have been working very hard on counting within 100, partitioning numbers into tens and ones (e.g. 53 = 50 + 3 or 53 = 5 tens and 3 ones), ordering 2-digit numbers friom greatest to smallest and smallest to greatest and have also been introduced to < and > signs to compare numbers.
This week's maths task has been set as an assignment on Doodle Learning. Please see your child's Home Learning book for their login details. If you have any problems logging in, please email [email protected].
This week's spelling task is reinforcement of Year 1 Common Exception words - overlearning is key for the children to be secure. Click on this link, to practise a range of Y1 Common Exception words.
