Dear Parents/Carers,
This post outlines work for Thursday, 21st January. Further guidance for the week will be uploaded in due course. When completing tasks, children can either do so electronically (via Microsoft PowerPoint or Word) or by recording work on separate sheets of paper or a notepad.
TEAMS ASSIGNMENTS
We will be setting two assignments via Teams a week, these tasks must be completed and submitted for feedback on the same day unless specified. Please remember to turn in the work so the Year 2 Team can feedback to your child. If you have any technical issues when using Teams please contact the school office for support.
Reminder Book Change Friday:
READING:
Delivery service: All children will be hand delivered a set of their colour band reading books (unless they attend school during the week). Please be aware, that children may receive books they have already read or ones that may seem easier than others.
Please note: Repetition is useful as the children can learn to use / practice using expression, answer more in-depth comprehension questions – both written and oral (see VIPERs questions in their reading diaries)
Collection: Friday 22nd January.
For collection, please place the books in a carrier bag outside your front door before 9am, so school staff can collect them as safely as possible.
The books will then be quarantined over the weekend, re-organised and redistributed the following week.
Delivery: Tuesday 26th January

Thursday
GUIDED READING
For today’s Guided Reading click here.
The focus today is on vocabulary. Listen to Mrs Horton read out a set of instructions for making rocky road and follow her tips for working out what a word means if we are not sure.
LITERACY
In Literacy this week we are continuing with reading and writing instructions. Please work through this powerpoint for today’s task which is writing a set of instructions for washing your hands.
MATHS
We are continuing to focus on money. Today we are looking at word problems using different notes and coins. If you are unable to answer a question or print the sheets, please discuss the question, and do what you can for each without printing. Try using real money to support this task and record any answers on a piece of paper or in a notebook.
Our maths powerpoints contain multiple videos and animations and as a result are very large files. Therefore we have had to upload them in two parts. Work through Part One and then move on to Part Two: Reasoning by clicking on the links below:
Once you have worked through the powerpoints, complete this worksheet. These worksheets increase in difficulty, therefore please work at your child’s own pace and ability.
If your child lacks confidence in maths or is finding it difficult, then please look at this support ideas power-point to help adapt the work. If you child is still finding it difficult, then please contact us on year2@abbeyroadprimary.co.uk for advice.
ART
This week we are continuing to develop our drawing skills by looking at geometric shapes in art. Click on this powerpoint for a step by step guide to drawing a still life study of one of the pictures provided. Please send in photos of your work – we can’t wait to see them!
