Reading  

 

RWI – watch the relevant speed sounds lesson:  

Set 1: https://youtu.be/IkdIVbB92us  

Set 2: https://youtu.be/zT4UnjTPM3Y    

Set 2 –  If you have been learning set 2, you now need to move on to the next set of sounds (3):

Set 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hT5P2OL00M    

Then read the RWI book online https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/reading/reading-schemes-oxford-levels/read-write-inc-phonics-guide/ 

 

Go onto ‘ebooks’ then you will need to register (this is free of charge) and then you will be able to access all the ebooks and choose the correct banded level for your child. Please note that the RWI phonics scheme is based on lots of repetition. Therefore, we usually read the same book about 3 or 4 times before moving onto a new book. For some children they may need to read it more than this to ensure they are completely fluent in reading the book (no sounding out). 

A general guide is: 

1st read – decoding all the words – sound out as much as you need to. 

2nd read – read for fluency (try to read with more fluency and expression). 

3rd read – read with fluency, expression and comprehension. Try answering the comprehension questions at the back. 

 

This website also provides lots of other information for parents about phonics. It has other resources on here too should you wish to explore! 

 

Guided reading

  1. I can share the dividend between the groups  

  1. I know how to find the answer to the division

2nd task – Use the method of sharing to solve the calculations attached to the webpage called ‘year 2 maths dividing using sharing’.  You need to solve the problems pictorially today. Draw the groups. You are not expected to answer all the questions, just do what you can in the time.  

Optional 3rd Task - If you are feeling confident, solve the ‘year 2 maths challenge questions’ which involve remainders. Look back at this tutorial if you are unsure of how to answer questions with remainders:

Task 2: 

Today you will be answering the questions on equal grouping.  you will be drawing the representations of the groups. Once you have drawn the number of groups and found the total turn this into a multiplication.  Example below. 

  

Step 1: find the number of groups you need. 

Step 2: split the number of sweets equally into each group. 

Step 3: find how many sweets are in each group. 

Step 4: turn this into a multiplication. 

 

Answer as many questions as you can within the lesson, don’t worry if you can't answer them all.  

  

Task 3 - Optional extension:  
if you would like to challenge yourself try writing your own question for equal grouping. Then show your working out and answer your own question. 

 

Task 4: 

At the end of the lesson think about whether you have met today’s success criteria. You could write at the bottom of your work how you got on and how you think you could make your work even better.

Mental Arithmetic 

Year 1’s if you still need practise counting in 2’s then please continue to work on this instead of moving on to the new target below.  

Year 2’s if you still need practise recalling you two times tables then please continue to work on this instead of moving on to the new target below. 

  

Year 1 – you need to now work on counting confidently in 5’s up to 100. You need to be able to do this verbally.  

Here are some activities to help you practise: 

Song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sh8YmvJuJ8A  

Game – duck shoot (select duck 5 then count on from the numbered duck until you get to the duck showing the same number as the target)  http://www.ictgames.com/mobilePage/duckShoot/index.html  

 
Activities – write the multiples of 5 on pieces of paper and put them around the room/outside. How quickly can you go and point to them in the correct order? You could try starting at any number and seeing if you can continue from that number.  

  

Year 2- you need to work on your 5 times table.

At the Beach 

As the sun rises with a cool breeze, a gentle swish of golden sand blows quickly through the air. In the distance, the fluffy clouds dance across the bright blue sky in the sunny morning air. Proudly a lonely palm tree stands, hovering over the never-ending blue sea. One by one, the coconuts on the palm tree fall painfully with a bash into the golden sand and a splash into the blue sea. Underneath your relaxed feet, you feel the warmth of the golden sand between your toes and the cool water splashing in your face. You smell the salty water drifting all around the place. The silent sea is still and crystal clear. Suddenly, baby dolphins splash through the ocean, a fountain of water coming from them. 

 

To listen to the setting description, you can watch this video (optional):
