Welcome to a new week Home Learners! It was lovely to speak to some of you and your parents on the telephone last week. I hope that you are all keeping well and have enjoyed the bank holiday weekend. I am posting some ideas for English and Maths today. I will be adding ideas for other subjects later in the week including some activities about Florence Nightingale as it will be 200 years on Tuesday since she was born.

Year 2

This week we will be following the BBC Bitesize materials to learn about creating sentences with description. You may like to watch the videos and complete Activity 1 on Monday. Try Activity 2 on Tuesday or plan your description of a magical plant on Tuesday and write your description on Wednesday. Try Activity 3 on Wednesday or Thursday. I have then added some extra materials if you need them.

Our learning this week is based upon the BBC Bitesize materials on identifying adverbs. On Monday, watch the videos and try Activity 1. On Tuesday try the identifying adverbs activity sheet.

Our maths this week involves a lot of new learning so please don’t panic if you find it challenging. If you struggle with a question, have a look at the answer, see if you can understand how the answer was reached and then cover up the answer and have a go at the question yourself. The worksheets move on quite quickly so don’t worry if you can’t complete all the questions, just have your best go!

For English, please read or listen to the story of ‘Mr Underbed’ by Chris Riddell.

Mr Underbed by Chris Riddell

Next, have a go at answering these questions.

Questions about the story

Try some of the following writing activities:

Write a prequel to the book that explains where the monsters came from. How did they arrive in Jim’s bedroom?

Possible start to task

Write a sequel to the book. What happens to Jim and the monsters the following night?

Possible start to task 2

Write your own story about a child who discovers a monster under their bed.

Monster Story Planning Sheet

You might also enjoy creating your own illustrations or models of monsters. Watch this video of Chris Riddell drawing Mr Underbed for some inspiration.

Additional ideas!

Write a conversation between Jim and Mr Underbed. This would be a good opportunity to practise using inverted commas (speech marks) Year 3.      Year 2 could draw speech bubbles.

Paint a picture of the place where Mr Underbed came from.

Think of some words to describe the setting of Jim’s bedroom.

Write a description of Mr Underbed or another monster.

Starting this week, White Rose Maths and BBC Bitesize will be coordinating the learning together. Go to BBC Bitesize each day to see the learning for your year group. This week is all about adding and subtracting.

I have added the White Rose worksheets and answers for each lesson here. There are additional worksheets on the BBC Bitesize page if you would like to use them. For the lessons involving money, I would suggest using real coins if you have them.

Please use this link for our English this week.

We will be looking at two poems by Allan Ahlberg. I have included copies of the poems for you to print out if you wish. I have also made worksheets for the comprehension questions and for you to have a go at writing some of your own excuses.

Please Mrs Butler

Questions about Please Mrs Butler

Can you perform the poem to your family? Can you video it to share with other family members? Can you learn the poem off by heart?

Try to have a go at writing your own verses for the poem too.

I would love to see them!

For Maths, we will be following White Rose Home Learning for Summer Week 2 (Week commencing 27th April)

I would suggest that Year 3 try the lessons for Monday and Tuesday. We had only just started to look at adding fractions before the lockdown so please don’t worry if you find this tricky. You will do more work on this throughout your time in KS2. For the remainder of the week, try to practise estimating and measuring length. I will post some more ideas for this on Tuesday.

The maths this week includes some work on measuring so you might all like to try estimating and measuring the length of some objects in your homes and gardens. Try using a ruler and a tape measure if possible.
