Home Learning Pack Year 2
Hello Year 2. Here is your weekly timetable for your new work pack. It is filled each week with exciting activities (feel free to adapt). You should try and
complete these activities all by yourself – but if you are really struggling then ask an adult for help!
Can you please test your child on their spellings on a Thursday and email a
photo to your class teacher so we can see how they are getting on.
Rainbow Reading Competition!
We need you to get creative Heathfielders!
Can you design and create a picture for our Rainbow Reading cards?
We will choose different winning designs for each of the cards.
The pictures need to link to reading. The winning designs will be used for the whole school from September!
Send your entries in to your teacher on their class email.
e.g. [email protected]
Deadline for entries: Friday 17th July 2020
Good luck!
Story time!
The story of The Elves and the Shoemaker and activities are designed to inspire and
support your child to develop skills and confidence in English – speaking, listening, reading
and writing.
Through the world of The Elves and the Shoemaker, your child will explore a range of
purposeful activities broken down into bite-sized chunks.
Each activity is carefully explained and many could be extended. They are designed to be
shared activities.
You can also listen to a recording of the story here:

Once upon a very long time ago, there lived a kind-hearted shoemaker and his
wife. Unfortunately, the couple had become so poor that at last they had
nothing left but the leather to make one pair of shoes.
One night, after a supper of bread and jam, the shoemaker shuffled to his
workshop with his head hung down and his shoulders hunched. As he cut out the
shoes from the last piece of leather, his wife appeared, “Try not to worry.
Everything will soon be all right. Leave that tonight. You can finish the shoes
tomorrow,” she said softly.
Little did they know but three little elves, Clary, Pepper and Jas, heard the
shoemaker’s wife. They felt sorry for the kind man and decided to help.
Working through the night, they cut, sewed and decorated until they had made
a beautiful pair of shoes!
In the morning, the shoemaker and his wife were amazed to see the delightful,
little shoes on the workbench. “Where have these come from? Who made
them?” they wondered. Soon, a merchant saw the shoes in the shop window and
bought them immediately. He was so impressed by the shoes that he gave the
shoemaker enough money to buy leather for two pairs of shoes.
That night, too, the shoemaker cut out the shoes and left them on the
workbench. Again, the three little elves returned.
Working through the night, they cut, sewed and decorated until they had made
two beautiful pairs of shoes!
This continued for many more nights, until the shoemaker and his wife were no
longer poor. One night, the couple decided that they wanted to know who was
making the shoes so that they could thank them for their kindness. After a
hearty supper, they laid out the leather, hid in the workshop and waited to see
who their helpers were.
Clary, Pepper and Jas crept into the workshop and by the light of the moon, cut,
sewed and decorated until they had made several beautiful pairs of shoes! “How
lucky we are! We must return their kindness!” declared the shoemaker’s wife.
“Their clothes are ragged and torn. Let’s make them some new clothes,” the
shoemaker suggested.
So, all day, they cut, sewed and decorated until they had made three teeny
hats, three perfectly miniature suits and three tiny pairs of charming shoes.
That night they left them on the workbench for the generous elves.
By the light of the moon, Clary, Pepper and Jas danced a jig of happiness on the
workbench. Dressed in their brand-new hats, suits and shoes they left the
shoemaker’s workshop, not ever to return.
The shoemaker and his wife lived happily ever after, never forgetting the three
little elves who helped them in their time of need.

Pictograms are set out in the same way as bar charts, but instead of
bars they use pictures to show the numbers involved.
It is important to use the key on a pictogram to find out how much
the pictures represent. This pictogram shows that each smiley face
equals one child.
So we can work out that 2 children like pears.
Fractions
To find out what fraction of an object has been eaten you need
to…
a) Count how many sections the object has altogether.
This will tell you your bottom number (denominator).
b) Count how many
sections have been eaten. This will tell you your top number
(numerator).
Maths support sheet
Pictograms
For example:
There are 4 sections altogether and 3 have been eaten.
¾ has been eaten.
Fraction sentences
Measuring cm and m
There are 100cm in 1m.
There is 1m in 100cm.
To convert cm to m you need to divide your
number by 100.
To convert m to cm you need to multiply your
number by 100.
2
1
½
Adding cm
You add measurements the same way you would regular numbers.
For example:
10cm + 11cm is the same as 10 + 11 = 21
So 10cm + 11cm = 21cm
Comparison symbols
Money – Giving change
We can use number lines to help us find change.
For example: I have 45p and a pencil costs 37p, what change will I
get? 8p change.
What do you need to add to 37 to make 45?
I start at the price of the item. I end at the amount I have.
Then you count on from 37 to 45. Make sure to count 45. Do not
count the first number!
37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45
I will get 8p change.
37p 45p 38 39 40 41 42 43 44
Symmetry
Something is symmetrical when it is the same on both sides.
Here is a song to help you:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJlhywRfvh8
For example:
A square is symmetrical because you can draw a line down the middle
and each side will look the same! A square has more than one line of
symmetry!
A vertical line of symmetry is
a line that goes down from
the middle and splits a shape
into 2 equal parts.
Maths
Using the subtraction support sheet (you do not need to print it), can you try to
complete the challenges for each lesson on a piece of paper.

Activity 2 – Recognising fractions
What fraction has been eaten? Can you write it out on a piece of paper?
To find out what fraction
of an object has been
eaten you need to…
a) Count how many sections
the object has altogether.
This will tell you your bottom
number (denominator).
b) Count how many
sections have been eaten.
This will tell you your top
number (numerator).
For example:
There are 4 sections
altogether and 3 have been
eaten.
¾ has been eaten.
On a piece of paper can you complete the following fraction sentences?
Activity 3 – Measurement (cm and m)
On a piece of paper or discussing with a family member, what would you
measure each of these items in, cm or m? Explain why.
I would measure the ……………………………… in …………… because …………………………………
On a piece of paper, compare the following lengths. Can explain if they are
longer than, shorter than or equal to each other?
Remember 1m is
equal to 100cm
On a piece of paper, compare the following measurements by adding or
subtracting.
FUN CHALLENGE!
Can you test this statement out by measuring different
people in your household and their shoes?
Activity 4 – Money (giving change)
a) Emma has 50p, she buys a pencil for 8p. How much change will she
get?

Art Painting with sweets!
Painting trees using sweets
You will need:
1. Paper
2. Paint (water colours work best)
3. Sweets - Sprinkles/Skittles/Nerds
4. 2 Paint brushes
5. Water
How to paint with your sweets:
Step 1: First you need to paint a tree trunk using
your normal paint.
If you don’t have paint then you could use coloured
pencils to draw a tree trunk.
Step 2: Now, take a clean paint brush and with
your water, wet your paper above your tree trunk.
Do not use too much water or the paper with rip!
Step 3: Next, you need take your sweets and
place them on the wet paper to make your tree
leaves.
*If the colours don’t drain from the sweets, just
sprinkle some more water on them.
Step 4: Carefully, remove the sweets to reveal
your painting!
If you leave the sweets on the wet paper for too
long they will become mushy and ruin your picture.
Science
Reversible and irreversible changes
Solids and liquids can be changed from one state to another
by heating or cooling.
• Heat can change a solid and turn it into a liquid.
• Cooling can change a liquid into a solid.
Through the heart of Willy Wonka's factory flows
a river of melted chocolate. Sounds delicious! But how
did he make it?!
Chocolate can be changed from solid to liquid and back to
solid again! This is a reversible change.
Follow the instructions on the next page to create your
own chocolate cycle.
You could also watch this video to learn about a chocolatier and how he makes
his chocolates:
https://www.stem.org.uk/resources/elibrary/resource/34080/understanding-
reversible-change
Create your own chocolate cycle!
You will need:
A chocolate bar
A small bowl
Boiling water
A mould/cupcake cases/tray
Step 1: Get a bar of chocolate and break it into pieces.
Step 2: Have a parent/older family member boil some
water.
Step 3: Using the boiling water, melt the chocolate bar in a
small bowl.
Make sure not to get any water on your chocolate or it won’t
melt properly.
You have just changed chocolate from a solid to a liquid!
Step 4: Now pour your melted chocolate into a mould, or
cupcake cases, or cupcake trays. Anything that it can be put
into to make a shape.
Step 5: Place your melted chocolate into the fridge to cool
and harden.
You have just reversed the process! You have changed a
liquid back to a solid!
A reversible change is a change that can be undone. You
can get the product (like melted chocolate) back to what
it started as (chocolate bar).
What do you think an
irreversible change is?
Tell a family member.
