Our wonderful writer this week is Wadaa who wrote words with contractions correctly and also used them in his own writing, implementing the skills he was asked to use. Congratulations Wadaa!

Good afternoon Year 2,

Your home learning tasks for Tuesday 19^th January 2021 are linked below. If you have any queries, please email year2@quarrymountprimary.org.uk. All home learning tasks are available on the school website, on email and Teams.

Interventions
From this week, we will be starting our Maths intervention sessions so if you are in Miss Leena’s maths intervention group, you will have an additional activity to complete on Wednesdays and Fridays. This is to support and strengthen your ongoing Maths learning.

Phonics interventions will continue on Tuesdays and Thursdays for Miss Leena’s phonics and spellings group.

Reading
It is important that daily reading takes place and although you may not have a school reading book at home, you can access all the books on Oxford Reading Buddy. You can also quiz yourself on there after completing a book. Reading can be a short 10-minute session where an adult or older sibling listens to you read and you discuss what is happening in the text.

 If you are unsure of login details, please contact us and we can provide you with these.  
 

     This symbol means that piece of work must be sent in.

Thank you,

Miss Leena and Mrs Lee
