Week 4 Home Learning
Good morning everyone,
It was so nice speaking to some of you last week. We absolutely loved hearing what you have been getting up to. We will be in touch this week to speak with the rest of the children in year 2.
In Key Stage One, we are introducing Google Classroom. This is something which the children in KS2 use, but it will be brand new for our children. The work which is set using Google Classroom will be the same as what is released on the blog. What Google Classroom offers (which the blog does not), is a space where the children can comment and ask questions, allowing them to interact with the teachers and each other. They can also post work that they have done, for others to see. Initially, some children may require adult support, however the more they use it, the more independent they will become.
Spellings
We will continue to blog spellings each week and a link will be released each Friday,
where a member of our Year Two team will read out the spellings for the children.
Reading
Oxford Owl reading website are offering free access to their books online. The children will be familiar with these books as it is already part of our readings scheme. The colours match to their current reading colours. To gain access to these great resources, sign up for FREE at https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-school/oxford-owl-ebook-collectio
Children learning to blend and read simple words such as ‘cat’ or ‘went will be learning Set 1 sounds
and reading Ditty or red books.
