Hello Year 2!
How did you get on with your still life drawings yesterday? We would love to see them if you haven’t already emailed them in! It is so nice receiving photos of what you have been learning – do send them in to year2@abbeyroadprimary.co.uk. We may feature some of your lovely photos on the website too!
Today’s work is for Friday, 22nd January. When completing tasks, you can either do so electronically (via Microsoft PowerPoint or Word) or by recording work on separate sheets of paper or a notepad. Here are some reminders for parents and carers this week:
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

MATHS
We are continuing to focus on money. Today we are looking at solving word problems using different 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.
Once you have worked through this powerpoint, 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.
