Year 2 home learning 18.11.20

18th November 2020ajennings

Hello everyone, we hope you’re all doing well.

Today’s learning:

Phonics

We’d like you to look at o-e phone home. This sound has been sent home already so you can read the words and look at the sound card. There’s also a video to support your learning:

As an extra challenge, try writing down the o-e words. Don’t forget to use Fred fingers to help you sound words out.

English

For English, we would like you to complete the activities on pages 4 and 5 which focus on noun phrases. This is building on yesterday’s work about nouns and adjectives. We have also used noun phrases in school when writing setting and character descriptions.

 

 

 

 

Maths

Today’s activities on pages 4 and 5 are further practice using a number line to add and subtract. 

United against bullying

The theme for this year’s anti-bullying week is United Against Bullying. Watch the video to find out more information. 

In your learning pack there is a jigsaw piece for you to write a pledge, something you will do to help stop bullying. On the jigsaw piece write your sentence which could be:

My class chooses to unite against bullying/name calling/bullying so I will…

Then explain what you will do play your part such as treating everyone with respect or tell a teacher if you hear someone saying something unkind. 

You can then decorate your puzzle piece to make it stand out.

We love seeing the work you have been doing so remember to send it in to year2@hartonprimary.co.uk.

Accelerated Reader awards

12th November 2020D Fawkes

A huge congratulations to Phoebe Ofosu and Joe Roberts in Y6F for being the first children in the school to achieve AR awards this year. Phoebe has become our first Word Millionaire and has read over 1,000,000 words since September and Joe has become our first half-millionaire by reading over 500,000 words. Joe is also now extremely close to becoming a Word Millionaire.

 

Both children have shown such dedication to their reading this year and I love to hear about the novels they’re reading and see their enthusiasm.

Who will be next to achieve an AR award?

Lumb Bank Writing Retreat

6th July 2020N Johnson

Over the past few years, Harton Primary has had the privilege of working with Lumb Bank writing retreat in Yorkshire. The children and staff stay at Lumb Bank for one week in an 18th-century mill owner’s house in West Yorkshire, which once belonged to Ted Hughes. It’s set in 20 acres of woodland with breathtaking views of the valley below.
The children work with well-known and successful authors of children’s books and undertake workshops and drama activities which inform their writing. In previous years, Year 6 children have had this opportunity. However, earlier this year, sixteen of our Year 5 children were chosen to attend. They worked with Liz Flanagan and Anthony McGowan, two amazing authors who gave the children invaluable advice and feedback on their work.
The children created an Anthology of their work which consisted of poetry, short stories and word association sentences. They produced some amazing writing and represented the school fantastically. What a great week we had!
