Year 2 Half-term: Summer 2 (W/C Monday 2nd June 2025– W/C Monday 14th July 2025)
In Year 2, we believe that homework should consolidate the learning that has taken place in school and inform families of the children’s learning as they share this knowledge with you at home.
To support this, please choose and complete 6 activities from the grid over the course of the half-term. Please can your child bring this in every Thursday so it can be celebrated in class on a Friday. Work can be completed in homework books or, where appropriate, brought in its original form e.g. a photograph or poster etc.
We teach the children to take pride and responsibility for their own work and we strive to develop their independence, therefore we expect each homework task to be completed with care and to the best of their ability.
Our weekly homework offer in Year 2 includes:
1. Curriculum Menu.
2. Reading- please continue to aim to read with your child at least 3 times a week.
3. Maths - we would also like your child to continue to practise their maths at home, focusing on counting in steps of 2s, 5s and 10s. Your child may use TTRockStars to practise these as well as their number passport.
4. Focus words - practise their ‘red words’. Red words are common exception words –this means they are words that don’t always follow the usual phonics patterns when we read & spell these words We will put our focus words inside your child’s reading records every week so they can practise reading & spelling these words at home. In class, we will learn to read and spell these words together throughout the week.
We can’t wait to see your work!
Thank you so much for your continued support! Your Year 2 Team
English: Look at different stories written by Roald Dahl. (There are stories on You tube if you don’t have the books at home). Maybe you could you write a book review about your favourite story stating why you like it or you could retell the story in your own words.
Maths:
Look at clocks when you are out and about. Model using the language of o’clock, half past, quarter to and quarter past.
