Year 2 Home Learning Activities Hello everyone, we hope that you enjoyed your learning last week. The summer holidays are just round the corner, so this is your last home learning pack for this school year. We have added a few extra items for you at the end as well as some fun ideas for holiday activities and websites which may give you even more ideas for the holiday. We would like to take this opportunity to say what a super job you have all done – adults and children – in adjusting to home learning: it really shows how adaptable we all can be. Every family has had to find a way that suits their circumstances and no two families are the same. We would like to thank you for all your endeavours in taking on the role of teachers on top of all the other pressures you have experienced, and acknowledge the academic and emotional support you have given your child during this time. To ensure that your child’s learning continues, we recommend that you complete the Maths and Literacy activities indicated and a few additional “topic” activities from the selection detailed below. Please ensure that you follow a home learning timetable that works for your family. For literacy this week we are learning character descriptions, and for mathematics we are continuing our series of lessons learning about multiplication and division. We would like to wish you all a summer of health and happiness, and we look forward to seeing you all in the Autumn term. Take care and stay safe!More information and details of learning opportunities can also be found on the school’s website rosecroft.schoolIf you have any questions regarding Year 2 home learning please contact homelearningtu@rosecroft.school MondayTuesdayWednesdayThursdayFridayLiteracy information from textLiteracy information from textLiteracy fronted adverbialsLiteracy a recountLiteracy a recountMaths knowledge of multiplesMaths the inverseMaths multiplesMaths knowledgeMaths bar models for multiplication and divisionTopicTopic A variety of topic activities can be found on Oak National Academy and BBC Bitesize websites, accessed using the links above.

To celebrate the occasion there will be a slant towards Art based activities for 3 weeks to coincide with their themes.

Search for a poem and when you find one that like, print out or write the poem in full or copy a particular line, phrase or section of it onto paper. Then:Create an interesting and creative border for the poem. Think carefully about the meaning and imagery and how to create decoration that relates to the poem. Create an original artwork as a response to the poem. Read the poem carefully and think about the images that the poem creates in your mind. You could make a background to stick or write the poem onto or produce an artwork to go with the poem.You can conduct your own search for a poem or alternatively you could use the one pictured. -6540514160500Art- Respond to a word. Think of an “amazing adjective” (or use one from the list provided) and then create a piece of artwork in response. You could draw or paint a picture or create an abstract piece of artwork based upon colours and mark making.535051020955000 Art- Decorate your name. Write your name and then decorate it in an interesting way. Think carefully of activities, animals or objects you like and try and incorporate them into your design.4826013081000Art- Graffiti is a style of artwork that often mixes both written text and images together. The picture shows a number of graffiti writing styles, but there are many others that can be found by searching online. Try and adopt one of these styles to write your own name or in fact any word you like.Like in the examples shown, consider the use of shading and shadow to create a 3D artwork that leaps from the page. 74650609017000Art- A head full of words (like the image pictured). Draw an outline of a head (a profile outline works best) and fill the outline with different words. You could carefully select and write words that represent you or simply cut and stick different sections from newspapers and magazines to create your image. Art- Draw, paint or create an artwork of your favourite literary character(s). Think carefully about your favourite literary characters and create an artwork based around one or more of them. Try not to copy a picture that already exists, instead place the character(s) in your own version of a familiar situation or setting, or somewhere entirely new.

Consider your costume carefully and get creative! Art- Create a “Gallery of real life” around your house. Look for interesting collections of objects around your house and then turn them into art installations by writing creative labels for them and who they are created by. For example, if the dishes from last night’s dinner are still stacked up by the sink you could write the label “Good Eating- The Underwood family”. If your toys are all over the floor you could write the label “Having fun”. Take photos of your artworks and then consider producing a tour guide or map of your house and produce your very own “Art trail”.711208699500DT- Design and create a Literary based board game.

Imagine how your house would look if you removed the roof: What would you be able to see? What would the different furniture and objects look like viewed from above?In this activity try and draw your bedroom (or indeed whole house) from a bird’s eye view. First of all, consider the size and shape of the space you are drawing (not all rooms are square), then add doors, windows and pieces of furniture required; be as detailed as you likeGeography- Make a poster or brochure advertising for your favourite ever holiday destination. Think of your favourite ever holiday or ask your parents about their favourite holiday destination.

Order these events onto a timeline (as pictured) providing a brief explanation of the what happened. You may find you need to join more than one piece of paper together to include all the detail you wish. Decorate your timeline with poignant pictures.PE- Become a PE teacher and create your own routine of balances and exercises to improve and develop your strength and stamina. Think of all the different fitness activities you have tried over the past weeks. Create a routine or series of exercise stations that will test all the skills you have developed. Perhaps start with a few balances and gentle stretches and develop the activities into a heart thumping workout; including a teddy bear throwing range and plank station! Challenge members of your family to participate and complete your PE lesson!Please remember to consider your personal safety when balancing and stretching your body.

What is the longest food chain you can produce? Do humans always feature in food chains? Are human always at the top of a food chain in all habitats? 717232519685000End of Term ideas:Produce a poster that reflects upon the year we have had. It could be a series of pictures showing memories you have or a list of words. It could be a positives/negatives list. It can be anything that reflects your thoughts and feelings about this academic year. Be creative!Write a list of positive ways in which you have changed this year.
