Good morning Year 2! Hope you and your families had a good weekend. It’s the start of a new week and we’ve lots of learning ready for you.
We will keep suggesting a physical activity and mindfulness activity that you can include in your day too.
Physical activity: Sports Jam is the active blast today on imovement.
Mindfulness activity: As well as thanking people for specific things, gratitude can also be a thankful feeling towards the world. Today, note down five things you are grateful (thankful) for. This will help you to notice the good. This mindfulness activity is taken from Scouts Great Ideas for Indoors.

These children have reached their next level in Lexia since Friday – Tommy, Cate, Saif and Jaiden. Great work!
Task 1 reading
Here’s the fluency text for this week. Aim to read this daily so that by the end of the week you will become more fluent when reading it. It would be great if you could ‘perform’ this poem by Friday – maybe to a relative over a video call?
Table Manners
The Goops they lick their fingers,
And the Goops they lick their knives,
They spill their broth on the table-cloth,
Oh, they live disgusting lives.
The Goops they talk while eating,
And loud and fast they chew,
So that is why I am glad that
I’m not a Goop. Are you?
By Gelett Burgess

Task 3 writing
Hopefully you were successful with your spelling test last week.
Your spellings for this week are all words ending in ed. We’re revisiting the -ed suffix which is often used to change the form of a verb to the past tense (eg walk to walked). Children often make mistakes with this suffix: walkt or walkd.
These spellings have also been added to your child’s Spelling Shed account. Spelling Frame also has spelling games as an alternative online resource (spelling rules 12-16 look at adding suffixes like -ed). Parents/carers – if possible, please test your children on these words at the end of the week.
grinned, dropped, stumbled, confused, hurried, tidied, groaned, splashed
1.Read the text below that includes some of the spelling words.
2.Can you spot and correct the spelling errors in the text?
3. Can you spot and correct the other errors too? These include punctuation and other spelling mistakes. There are 16 errors in total.
Challenge: Can you think of some other verbs where we add the -ed suffix?
