Spelling Lists
We have now worked through all of the spelling rules for the year. You should now use this time to revisit old spellings you found tricky or choose from the high frequency/ tricky word lists below. Remember, the true test is how you apply these spellings in your writing. Choose between 7-10 spellings to learn each week and practise them creatively and use them in whole sentences too. Remember, practise make PERMANENT

Maths
Here are some useful videos to help you remember our strategies for the four operations. You can use these to have a go at some of the activities in your homelearning pack or some of the tests I have linked to this website. Remember, TTRS is also an AWESOME tool to practise your timetable and division facts. We also have addition and subtraction facts you can practise learning off by heart! See below!
Subtraction Demonstration Video
These website links will transport you to a range of different activities you can use to practise the Year 2 maths skills. It’s really important we can add, subtract, times and divide to help us solve problems and give answers to our questions. The journey to an answer is just as important as the answer itself!
IXL does have some free content, but then asks users to subscribe.
Learning your addition facts, subtraction facts, multiplication facts and division facts is really important. Use the tables below to get practising some of these!
Year Two should focus on the 2, 5, 10 and 3 times tables. I have put them all up incase you want to practise anymore but make sure you know the year two facts before you do!
Physical Education
AFPE (Assosiation for PE) are offering online PE lessons for the #ThisisPE movement. Check it out!
