Home Learning Wednesday 24^th February 2021

Hello Year 2,

I’m looking to seeing you all in our Zoom session at 10.30. Today we will be talking about our next poetry lesson so remember your pencil and paper. We will also be listening to some music and identifying the instruments and voices.

Below you will find your home learning tasks for today. Once you have completed them, you can send them to me using the Year 2 Blogs on Purple Mash.

To find the blogs go to Purple Mash and click on the green globe icon at the top that says sharing. When you click on that you will see a tab called Shared Blogs. Click on that and then you will see 3 blogs-one for English, one for Maths and one for Topic.

When you are in the blog, click on the green box with the + sign. This will give you a post to type into with title box, summary and content sections.

You can type answers into the content section or you can take a photo of your work and attach it using the icon that looks like a picture with a paper clip. I will then be able to see all of your wonderful learning. You can also ask me questions if you are unsure about any of your work. Remember to save!

Have a great day, stay safe,

Mrs Rothery

Maths:

Fluency:

Work out these halves-some of them are as sums so you have to work out each side first. Look carefully to see if it is + or - .

E.g. Half of 8 – Half of 2 will be

Half of 8=4

Half of 2=1

So

 4-1=3

1. Half of 10 + Half of 6
2. Half of 18 – Half of 12
3. Half of 20 – Half of 14
4. Half of 4 + Half of 16
5. Half of 22 + Half of 24

Remember to partition 2 digit numbers to help you halve them.

E.g. Half of 26

26=20 + 6

Half of 20 is 10

Half of 6 is 3

10+3=13

Half of 26=13

Write your answers in your exercise book before adding them to the Year 2 Maths Blog as a photo or type them straight into the contents box on the Maths blog.
