Home Learning for Year Two children:
All activities are suggestions; please adapt to suit your child, giving support where ever it is needed.
Keep learning fun and practical, have lots of breaks and rewards for completing any set tasks.
If you have a garden then use it as much as possible! Work outside and make the most of the sunshine!
Remember read to your child and encourage them to read to you every day (for at least 10 minutes).
For phonics based de-codable books, please sign up to the Oxford Owl website which has free e-books.
You don’t need a printer - any words/sounds/equations you might need just write them down on paper.
Most importantly – please don’t stress……do an activity and then take a break...just like we would in school!
