Hi Year 2,
Hope you all had a lovely weekend. Each day I will see you on TEAMS for our English and Maths lessons. The resources for these will be found on the Files section on TEAMS as usual.
I have been so impressed with your understanding of fractions in the last couple of weeks. This week we will continue with equivalent fractions and then have a look at fractions in context like when telling the time and eating pizza!!
In English, your narrative writing has been amazing to see. You really are incredible at writing, you have used adjectives, powerful verbs and all inspired by Anthony Browne.
This week on the website you will find:
Comprehension
You will find the comprehension this week is similar to those in the past. I have included two of each comprehension depending on how much you want to challenge yourself with reading this week. All cover different stories or topics.
Leap Year Year 2 – one and two
How to make a potion – one and two
The big blue whale – one and two
Dragon keeper application – one and two
Science
This week’s Science is learning about the lifecycle of plants. Here you will learn the lifecycle of a sunflower. Maybe you can grow your own sunflower at home and keep a diary to how it grows? Activity
Topic
This week you will compare a Victorian home to your own. You will notice a lot of differences and maybe some similarities. Once you have read through the information use the template to draw a Victorian home. What does the outside look like? What went in each room? Don’t forget to label your diagram.
DT
This is lesson two of DT that I have uploaded for you. This week you will be learning all about root vegetables. Root vegetables are those that grow in the ground. Once you have read through the information on the powerpoint you will be thinking about what foods are healthy and evaluating different types of root vegetables.
Have a great week, I look forward to hearing all you wonderful ideas!

DT – At the moment it is so important to stay fit and healthy on the outside and on the inside. One of the best things you could do to keep healthy is to have a good diet.

Hi guys,
Hope you’ve all had a lovely weekend. Well done for last week, our first week of online learning through Microsoft TEAMS. You were absolute stars and have adapted to it really quickly, so proud of you all.
This week we will continue to do English and Maths on TEAMS. We are starting a new story this week, one that I haven’t read to you before so I look forward to reading that to you at the start of the week.
A little reminder when we are saving our work on TEAMS you do the following:
Click on the document – edit – save as (your name) – save to (your folder) then you can write down your work.
This will ensure you all start with a fresh sheet.
Comprehension – 1 per day.
I have found some wonderful comprehension sheets this week all about different animals and their habitats. This relates to our Science topic. The sheets are adapted: 1 star, 2 stars, 3 stars. You should know which comprehension sheet is yours, if not start at 1 star and move through.
Science
This week you are looking at local habitats eg, pond habitats, coastal habitats, urban habitats. You need to read through the PowerPoint information and then complete the activities. The worksheet says to visit a local habitat, and because you are stuck at home I suggest going for a little walk around your home or sit in the garden to complete them.
Topic
This week you are looking at what school was like in the Victorian era. I have uploaded a PowerPoint for you to read through and a writing frame where you can write in your own words what school was like for those children.
Maybe you can do some role play at home and pretend you are a teacher in the Victorian era. Would you have the same rules as our school?
I look forward to seeing you all on TEAMS this week!
Love Miss Wenham

Hi Year 2,
I hope you had a lovely Easter and ate lots and lots of chocolate! I bet you’ve been enjoying playing in the garden with this gorgeous sunshine. It’s still a very strange feeling not coming into school, I miss you all and miss hearing all your wonderful stories. Can’t wait to be reunited with you all.
Did you have your own NASA day? Have you discovered a new talent? Have you developed a new hobby? I would love to hear and see what you have been up to! Don’t forget to email Mrs O’Neill with all of your photos so I can see them!
This week is very exciting as we are going to be learning online together. You’ll be able to see and hear me through TEAMS for our English and Maths sessions. We are doing a story this week that I know you all love! It’s been sitting in the book corner all year, I wonder if you can guess what it is? In Maths we will carry on where we left with multiplication using arrays.

Happy Wednesday Year 2!!
Hope you are all well, staying safe and enjoying your home school experience!
What a strange week and half it’s been! I’d love to know what you’ve been up to and what your new daily schooling looks like! I’ve seen a few of you at school which has been lovely, I know some of you have already moved up in Disraeli Club this week or last and happy to see lots of you are enjoying the Spring weather and enjoying lunch in the garden or helping your parents with the gardening. I am super proud of you all for managing in these strange times!
Remember I was telling you at school that my diary lets me know about themed days, we had National Puppy Day, Do Nothing Day and National Napping Day. Well I want to let you know what is coming up!!
As well as it being Wednesday it is also April Fools’ Day! Can you write a story where the main character plays the funniest trick on their friend?
On Friday 3rd, as well as being my Dad’s birthday, it is National Find a Rainbow Day. This is the perfect day to go for a walk with your family to find rainbows in people’s windows. Don’t forget to take a piece of paper with you as you can use tallies to count how many you see. You could compare this to how many each of your family members found too. Then, when you’re home make a bar chart. Can you ask your family questions about the bar chart for them to answer?
Next Friday, the 10th April, it’s National Sibling Day. This is the day to be super nice to your brothers or sisters. Give them a compliment, get them a drink, write a poem about them, paint them a picture, let them choose the film to watch, share your snack. Whatever it is, let them know how much you love them! If you haven’t got a sibling, could you call a cousin or another family member to let them know you’re thinking of them?
Enjoy the rest of your week, thinking of you all!
Love Miss Wenham xx
