The homework this week is ‘Creative’ and is due in Wednesday 30 November.

I can create a ‘Peaceful Problem Solving’ poster.

This is in response to our SEAL theme this week of ‘keeping calm’ and in preparation of next week’s ‘problem solving’ theme. I would like you to come up with posters for our SEAL wall which inform our school community on how to solve problems.

Here are some ideas for the poster, but feel free to do something even more original:

• A step by step guide for solving problems.
• Instructions of what to do if something goes wrong.
• A cartoon of a character that made the right choices in their problem.
• A poster that persuades children to make the right choices.

Wow me with your creativity, Year 2!

This week’s homework is creative. It is due in on Wednesday 01 December 2010.

‘I can find openings in stories.’

This links to our story-writing unit in literacy. The children need to find different opening lines (the first line) in stories and make a note of them. They could even sort them into dialogue (speech), action or description (think of ‘DAD‘. As it is a creative homework they may present their homework how they wish.

This week’s homework is practice makes perfect and is due in on Wednesday 24 November.

The children have a worksheet with some clock faces on them. They have to look at the clock face and work out the time. The time should then be written in words, underneath the clock face.

Good luck.

The homework this week is Talk Time homework and is due in on Wednesday 24 October.

I can talk about toys from other countries.

• What toys do children have in other countries?
• Are any of them the same as the ones we have in England?
• Which of our toys come from outside England? How do you know?
• How much do toys cost in other countries?

Why not inspect your toy to see if you can find any clues?

The homework this week is ‘Practice Makes Perfect’ and is due in Wednesday 23 November.

I can add on a number line.

I would like Cubes to add along a number line with single digit numbers (e.g. 4 +3 = ?)

I would like Spheres to add along a number line with a two digit number and a single digit number (e.g. 23 + 5).

I would like Cylinders to add a single digit number onto a two digit number using an numberless number line. For example, in the sum 48 + 9 they should do as follows:

+2                    +7

——————————————-

48            50                          57

I would like Cones to add two digit numbers using the method above or this alternative: In the sum 23 + 35 they can:

+ 5            + 10                       +10                     +10

————————————————————————————-

23          28                  38                          48                        58

We don’t usually do ‘Practice Makes Perfect’ but I really feel the children would benefit from solving some subtraction calculations at home.

• drawings

or

Have fun!
