Nessy – https://learn.nessy.com/account/login#/accountLogin

(TIMELYPEST)

Practise your reading and spelling on this website. It starts off relatively easy but gets more tricky as you move through the islands. This is great for those children who have not yet passed their phonic screening check.

MyMaths – https://www.mymaths.co.uk/

Miss Gilbert has added a range of activities for you to complete on a daily and weekly basis. There will be plenty for you to learn, especially areas of the curriculum we still haven’t covered so definitely check this out.

TT Rockstars – https://ttrockstars.com/

You have lots of games to play using your x2, x5 and x10 times tables so keep practising and challenging each other!

Purple Mash – https://www.purplemash.com/sch/apley

(log in details in the back of reading diaries)

You can choose a range of different activities, from all different subjects on Purple Mash. If you save them, Miss Gilbert and Mrs Nightingale can see what you have been up to!

For your challenge this week, Miss Gilbert and Mrs Nightingale would like you to complete a weekly diary. Please click on the link below to see an example of what your diary could look like.

Weekly Diary for Year 2

Use this as an example of what your page could look like. You can design your own on paper or digitally with your own ideas, e.g. if you will be doing a lot of cooking this week, you could include a section to show this. If you wish to print off this diary to use then great!

We are really looking forward to seeing what you all get up to this week!

I hope you all enjoyed creating an Easter Egg hunt around your home last week!

For your weekly challenge this week, please head over to the CBBC website and take part in their around the world egg hunt.

We would love to see any photographs of you completing your Easter challenges, remember to email them to us!

Happy Easter Year 2!

For your weekly challenge this week, Miss Gilbert and Mrs Nightingale would like you to create your own Easter egg hunt around your home.

1. Choose between 4-8 places around your home (for example: kitchen, bathroom, shower, sofa, under your bed etc.)
2. Make, buy, draw Easter eggs to hide in each place
3. Challenge your family to find them all
4. An extra challenge! Write a different clue for each place.

Types of clues

1. riddles – a nice soft place to sit, you might watch T.V. while sat here (sofa)
2. picture puzzle – take/draw a picture of the place then chop it up into a puzzle
3. code – 1=a, 2=b, 3=c etc  so 2, 1, 20, 8 means b a t h

Have fun creating your Easter Egg Hunt.

Keep an eye out for Easter Weekly Challenge 2 for the second week of the holiday!
