Hello year 2!
w.c. 13.7.20
We really hope you've enjoyed doing the English work you've been busy doing in your Distance Learning at home. As you know, this is the last week of term (half a week!) so we wanted to give you some lighter, fun activities to do in celebration of the end of term!
Have a wonderful summer holiday!
As always, we'd love to see any examples of your work you'd like to send us. Email: year2@irelandwood.leeds.sch.uk

Hello year 2!
w.c. 6.7.20
We hope you have enjoyed all of your Julia Donaldson themed activities! We’ve loved seeing some of the work you have produced. Well done for all your hard work. Can you believe we’re in the last 2 weeks of year 2?
This week, we are moving away from fiction and doing some non-fiction work around a significant person from history:
Rosa Parks
Rosa Parks is well known for starting the civil rights movement in America because she stood up for what she believed was right. She believed that everyone should be treated equally, no matter what the colour of their skin.
To start with, you may want to watch this video and learn lots of interesting information about her: https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/history-ks1-ks2-rosa-parks/z7rtvk7
If you’re feeling confident, you might like to try the Rosa Parks quiz on Purple Mash (https://www.purplemash.com/sch/ireland) – the children have logins in their planner and we have set it as a “To-Do”.

Last week we were reading/ watching, thinking and writing about The Gruffalo, the wonderful monster created by author Julia Donaldson. Julia Donaldson has created lots of unique characters which appear in her fun and captivating stories for children and many of them have been made into films too!
This week we are going to be reading another of Julia Donaldson's books:
The Highway Rat
If you have a copy you can read it yourself or with an adult (we have also included a PDF of the book in the documents below).
Or click on the link to listen to it being read: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aJopVMKpBw

In Year 2 we use Mindfulness after a busy lesson or a hectic playtime to concentrate our minds and focus on just one thing. We find that it helps us move on the next task or it allows us to have a few moments of quiet in a busy day. The children will be able to show you how we use our breathing to empty our minds of busy thoughts. The "Yawn to Reset" is a particular favourite in 2S! I have attached some ideas for you to try at home, if you wish.
We have attached a sound chart for children to use when spelling new words. Don't forget to use your "Fred Fingers" to spell a new word and use the chart to find the correct letters that correspond to the sound. We have also attached a list of the Year 2 common exception words, which are usually in the yellow stands. If anyone needs to check the grammar taught in Year 2 please use the grammar checklist that has already been uploaded. If you have any queries please email - Year2@irelandwood.leeds,sch.uk.
