Class 2R
SUMMER READING CHALLENGE!
Welcome to Year 2R's Home Learning Page
Hi 2R!
Thank you so much for the emails I have received this week and the photos of the things you have been doing. You have all been amazing at home and I am very proud of how hard you have all worked. Welcome to the last week of school! I have put some Maths and English for this week, some of it is optional so please do not feel pressured into completing it all. For English I would like everyone to complete the holiday setting work and newspaper article work. There will be no 'Star of the Week' this Friday as it will be our 'Head Teachers Awards' so look out on here and on our google classroom for the 2 lucky winners. From Friday 17th July our google classroom and home learning page will not be updated with work or activities as it will be the summer holidays and time for all to enjoy a well deserved break. Thank you parents and carers for great support, I wish I could give you all Miss Bamrah's little star.
Have a brilliant last week and remember if you need any help or have any questions for this weeks learning please email me at hbamrah@hogarth.essex.sch.uk
Take care and stay safe,
From Miss Bamrah and Mrs Reddy

Reading
We are Confident Readers
In reading, we are learning to:
- apply phonic knowledge and skills to decode words.
- Respond speedily to the correct sound of all 40 phonemes (see picture below)
- Read common exception words.
- Read books aloud, using phonic knowledge.
- Reread books to build fluency and confidence in reading.
- Listen to and discuss a wide range of poems,stories and non-fiction at a level above what they can read.
- Checking the text makes sense to them,self correcting when it doesn't
- Make inferences on what is being said or done.
- Predict what might happen next.
Please continue to read and share books each day.
There are comprehensions questions below to use at home.
I have included websites to help support develop phonic skills
Science Investigation
There are lots of simple and fun things you can do at home to learn more in science. Here are examples of different experiments you can at home. Each week, pick an experiment for the things you have at home. Make sure we work with an adult.
Healthy Body, Healthy Mind
There are loads of exercises you can do at home! Here are some daily workout videos that you can use!
Music
Hello to my Hogarth music lovers!
If you go to the 'enrichment' icon on the home webpage there is an assembly song tab with lots of songs for you to sing along to at home!
Choir and music makers you know where to find all your own resources under the 'parent' icon
Keep Singing!
Mrs Herbert.
Multiplication Tables
I have added some tests that you can use to help you to remember your times tables. Please look at the link below. If you do not have a printer at home, you could write down your calculations on paper.
If you have any maths related queries that I can help you with, please email me at: vslade@hogarth.essex.sch.uk and I will do my best to email you back as quickly as I can. Thank you, Mrs Peacock.
We had a visit from a Geologist and she shared what her job involves. Then we as 'scientists' created our own volcanic eruptions.
We shared our favourite books with children in year 5 and they shared theirs with us.
All dressed up for World Book Day!
Here is us training with Peter Bakare the Volleyball olympian
We planted seeds during Forest School
We painted our own version of Claude Monet's painting
Here is us on our class trip to the Gunpowder Mills.
We had a visit from the local Fire Fighter.
The children sorted out 2D shapes into a Venn diagram with the headings ‘Has right angles’ and ‘Is a quadrilateral’.
The children sketched an outline of the houses and then mixed paints together to form orange. They painted the fire and focused on blending yellow, orange and red together.
The children had a great time learning about where steel drums come from and how they are played. Each child had a turn to play the instrument and even had the opportunity to have a little dance.
Please have a browse at our class timetable, topic web and newsletter.
Reminders
We have P.E. every Monday and Friday. Please ensure your child has the correct, labelled kit in school and earrings are removed.
Homework is given out on a Friday and is due back in school the following Wednesday.
Please read with your child as often as possible at home and write a comment in their reading diary. Daily practice with an adult can increase their enthusiasm and help them progress even further.
Please see below some useful resources to help with your child's learning:
