C2 Monday 22nd February

Maths

Please remember – we do not use the White Rose workbooks; if the video asks you to pause to complete the questions on the worksheet please just continue the video. White Rose (or other appropriate resources) will be provided to complete. This week there are also activities to be completed during the teaching videos and I have noted on the planning the resources needed.

Thank you.

English

Y1 spellings: ar sound

Please watch video link: Phonics ar Sound Song “Park Lark Shark Dark” – A fun kids phonics song – YouTube

Complete worksheet dated 22.2.21 and then practise writing our spellings for this week: car / start / park / are/ garden

Challenge: can you spot and write any other ar words?

Y2 spellings: adding -y to root words ending in e: shiny / scary / greasy / smoky / bony

What happens when you want to make a root word ending in e (eg shine) into an adjective (eg shiny)? Look closely: you should notice that we drop the e before adding -y.

Please write these words in sentences in your Home Learning book– try to practise using different sentence types (statement / question / command / exclamation).

Challenge:

Can you find any other root words ending in e which follow this rule?

ICT

As a follow-up to Week 6’s Safer Internet day, please complete the worksheet dated 22.2.21 which is all about keeping information safe online.
