Draw a picture and fit these tricky words into it. Try and put them in different places. They could be on the tree trunk, in the windows, around the edge of the house, in the leaves or in the sun rays. Write each word 5 times. You could draw a picture of :
Good morning Primary 2! We hope you had a good long weekend and break from on-line learning. Here are some tasks to ease you back in gently.
Spelling
This week our sound is ‘ow’ which makes the long ‘o’ sound like in ‘go’, and ‘no’. You will mostly find ‘ow’ at the end of a word e.g. snow, flow, mow. Watch the clips below:
Task:
Choose 4 ‘ow’ words to draw and write in your jotter/ notebook or computer/tablet.
Pick 2 of your chosen words to write 2 sentences, remembering capital letter and full stops.
Can you find any items in your home that have the ‘ow’ sound? Here are some flashcards to help you:ow flashcards
Reading
Remember to keep reading to develop your fluency and keep going over your tricky words.
Today we are learning about standard units that are used to measure weight or mass.
We use scales to measure grams (g) A gram is a small unit of measurement that we use to measure how heavy or light something is. We would use grams to measure: flour, sugar and butter.
We also use scales to measure kilograms (kg). Kilograms are a larger unit of measurement that we use to measure how light or heavy something is. We would use kilograms to measure: people, potatoes, a suitcase.
Your challenge today is to make something in the kitchen with an adult. It has to be a recipe where you have to weigh something. Enjoy making it and eating it!
Write the ingredients that you used for your recipe neatly in your home learning jotter. If you would like to, you could write instructions on how you made them. Take a photo and draw a picture of what you made.
Reading Task
Make a den or find a special place to read a book. When I was a little girl I used to hide behind the sofa and my book. I liked it because there was a nice warm radiator there. If you are making a den, ask an adult first if it is ok.
You can choose your own book or listen and read along with the story below called No Matter What by Debi Gliori.

I thought you maybe enjoy listening to a song called ‘Food Glorious Food’ from the musical ‘Oliver’ which is based on the book Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens. Charles Dickens is a famous author who lived during Victorian times.
Hopefully you wont get gruel for lunch!
Challenge
See if you can find out what gruel is, maybe you can leave us a message!
Good morning Primary 2! We hope you all had a lovely weekend. Here is our morning song, sing and dance along to wake you up!
Morning Starter Activity
How many words can you make out of these letters?
Sound of the Week
We are used to long vowel sounds using magic ‘e’ but this week we are going to look at a different long vowel sound: ‘ea’
‘ea’ makes the same sound as ‘ee’ and ‘e_e’. Where e_e has a silent e at the end of the word, ‘ea’ mostly found at the middle of a word e.g. beak, leak, cheap. However, there are some words that do end in ‘ea’ e.g. tea, flea, sea
Remember the rule, when 2 vowels go walking, the first one does the talking. In this case the e in ‘ea’ is in charge and makes the long e sound!
Let’s visit Geraldine the Giraffe:
TASK
Have a go at reading the words in the list below, remember your reading strategies to help you if you get stuck.
Pick 6 ‘ea’ words and write them down and draw it in your jotter.
Choose 4 ‘ea’ words to write 4 sentences. Get an adult to help you if with words you are unsure of spelling. They can model it and you can copy it down.
Read your sentences out to someone.
Reading Time
Did you know you can access reading books for free online? Oxfordowl.co.uk is providing access to free reading ebooks. All you need to do is get an adult to sign you up. Here is the link below to get you started. If you do not know which level/band to read then look at the back of your reading book in your homework pack to start you off. If the book is too easy for you then try non-fiction as they can be trickier or jump up a band. If you are finding a book tricky then jump down a band until you become more confident and familiar with your tricky words and phonics. Remember it doesn’t matter, as long as your are having a go at reading. Any problems or questions then leave a comment.
Break Time – Have a snack, go to the toilet and have a 15 minute play!
Maths Time!

Length : Non-standards units of Measurement
This week we will focus on measurement. What is measurement? Why is it important? Can you think of some everyday examples of measurement?
There are different units of measurement but today we will revise non standard units of measurement used to measure length. Length is the measurement of distance, how long something is from one end to the other. Length can be measure in many ways, can you think of some?
Today we will be using non standards of measurements, like hands, feet, cubes. Did you know you can use any object to measure the length of something, as long as you follow these rules:
Watch the clip below:
TASK
Find something in your home (sweets, pasta, paper clips, lego bricks, tins etc, make sure they’re the same size) that you could use to measure the length of :
a book
a bottle
pencil
a toy
2. Get some paper and draw around your hand and cut it out. Now draw around your foot and cut it out. Can you use lego bricks, pasta, etc. to measure how long your foot and hand is?
3. Let’s use your ‘hand’ to measure the length of larger objects. Go around your home and use your ‘hand’ to measure 4 objects! Record your answers in your jotter or notebook.
4. Now repeat the above but this time using your ‘foot’ and record your answers. You can record your answers in a table like the one below. What did you notice?
5. What is the problem of using non standard units of measurement like hands and feet? To help you answer this, go and draw around a family member’s hand or/and foot. Cut it out and use it to measure the same 4 objects from before. What did you notice this time?
Finishing Task/ Plenary
Remember to wash your hands before you have your lunch.
Good Morning Primary 2. Hope you are well today and ready to enjoy your learning activities this morning.
Today is Friday 24th of April

Handwriting
Click on the link below. There are a number of handwriting sheets with the first 100 high frequency words. You can do one sheet or as many as you you would like. Remember it is quality not quantity. If you are able you can print them or just copy a page neatly into your jotter.
Don’t forget
Your writing should sit on the line.
The dotted line is there to help you make all your letters the same size.
Tall letters reach to the top blue line and the tails touch the bottom blue line.
Listen to this story called Troll by Julia Donaldson.
Task 1 – Time to talk
Explain to someone at home what your favourite part of the story was.
Was there anything you didn’t like about the story?
What did the story make you think of? Did a question come to mind whilst you were listening to it? Was there anything that puzzled you about the story?
Near the end of the story, when the troll was on the plank, why do you think it said that Hank Chief looked at the troll in a new way?’
Task 2 – MAPPING IT ALL OUT
Have a go at drawing a map of one or all of the places or islands from the story you have just listened to . See how much detail you can include. Discuss your map with someone at home so you can add more detail if necessary.
Here are some pictures of treasure maps to give you some ideas.
If you are feeling adventurous you could try this, but you will definitely need AN ADULT TO HELP YOU. DO NOT TRY IT ALONE.
A successful map should have:
Title
Lots of detail of the places discussed in the story. You may need to listen to parts of the story again.
Label the places you have drawn
Colour neatly
Maths and Numeracy
Explain to some one at home what you have been learning in maths this week.
Mental Maths
Task 1
Spent 20 minutes on Sum dog.
Task 2
Consolidate you learning adding tens and units together. Either print the sheet or copy the sums neatly into your jotter.
It’s important to be able to say facts about your identity such as
your name (and be able to spell it)
your date of birth
your address
phone number.
Make an identity tag all about you – say it aloud and copy it out every day for 10 days. Perhaps after a few days you won’t even need to look at it to say and write the information! Remember this information is private and you don’t need to share it with anyone – but it’s VERY important that you know it!
Revise your tricky sight words by watching the videos below 🙂
Pick a book you have at home and read it with someone. If you don’t have any books then click this link to read an online story – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyYh43hxSts
Once you have read your story. Draw a character from your story in your jotter.
Write your character’s name beside your drawing.
Write 3 adjectives to describe your character.
Can you make a friend for the character? Use your imagination and draw a new character, remember to give them a name too!
