Reading Comprehension – Amazing Antarctica. There are 3 different levels of text for children to choose from, then answer the questions.
Writing – This week we are focussing on writing diary entries. You will be writing as Captain Scott.
You have arrived in Antarctica and are at Cape Evans. You are about to start your voyage to the South Pole. Make sure you have listened to the PowerPoint and video before you start. Separate notes are also included.
Spelling, Punctuation & Grammar - SPAG.com task: 2017 SATs KS1. Please note that for the remaining weeks we will set past SATs papers to be completed. They are longer than the previous activities set and have 19 questions. They don't have to be completed in one go, or within a time limit so feel free to pause and resume if needed. A paper copy is also included below if needed.
Writing – Continuing to focus on diary writing. As Captain Scott, write about how you are feeling as you begin your journey home. Begin this lesson by reviewing you first diary entry. Did you achieve all the WILF? Can you identify what you need to improve in this piece of work? There is a separate video for this lesson and notes are also included.
Handwriting – Practise using all cursive joins by writing complete sentences. See the notes attached.
Maths activities
As we have already covered all of the Year 2 objectives for maths, these activities have been chosen to practise skills and deepen understanding.
This week we have included some Measurement revision lessons. Knowledge organisers are attached to help support these activities. We have also included some measurement questions from previous SATs papers. Feel free to use the organisers for this activity also if they are needed, or alternatively you may wish to see how well your child can answer the questions unsupported.
Please begin each activity with a title so we know which one you are doing, and write your answers in the green book. Where applicable we would like all children to attempt the ‘Mastery’ tasks, and those that would like to challenge themselves can then answer the ‘Mastery with Greater Depth’.
Answers for these tasks are also included below.
Times Tables and My Maths activities are detailed in the overview. A paper copy of the My Maths activity is included below if needed.
