Year 2 Remote Learning Pack

Welcome

Hello everybody! • We miss you all lots! It has been nice to speak to some of you on the phone and hear about all the hard work

you are getting up to, we are very proud of you! Keep working hard and looking after each other. Don’t forget you can email us if you need any help with any of the work or you want to show us what you have done, using: year2@glebeacademy.co.uk.

• There are video links within your pack to support your learning throughout the week. • Remember, as well, it is really important to keep up with your daily exercises, either using some of the links

we have sent you, or even PE with Joe Wicks which is on every week day on YouTube. • Each task in English and Maths is split into three. They are split into: red/orange, green and blue. The

children know what groups they are in at school they are in for Maths and English. The activities start off easier and get harder. The children will need to complete the work for the group that they are in, however if they wish to begin with the easier questions and work up to the harder questions that is fine.

• You will also find this information on our website where you will then be able to download it if you wish to

alongside a list of useful links.

I am writing to you to ask you if you would consider making our playtimes longer.

There are busy cities, tropical rainforests, and river deltas full of crabs, fish, hippos and butterflies.

Do you remember what we saw in Nigeria? World words Factory - a building where goods are made or put together. Forest - a large area of land where lots of trees grow. Port - a place on the land close to water where boats or ships can come to load or unload goods or people. Street - a road in a town or a city with buildings down one or both sides.

Day 3 English

Using persuasion in a letter. Today, you are going to use persuasive language in your letter to Stoke City Council to try and encourage them to build some new play equipment. Here is a list of persuasive language. What is persuasive language? Take a look at the video to help you to find out!

Look at the example to help you:

It is essential that playtime is longer. If not, children won’t be able to focus in class, get

enough exercise to be healthy, or interact with other children and make friends. Therefore,

playtime must be longer.

If children have longer playtimes they will burn off energy and can focus more in class. Also,

children need time to clear their minds and absorb what they learned. Playtime gives children

something to look forward to so they will work harder in class.

As you probably already know, playtime is a chance to get exercise and receive Vitamin D

from the sun. If children don’t get exercise they won’t be healthy.

Red/Orange Green Blue

Students need to be healthy to do well in school. Students need recess to interact with each other and make friends. If they have even longer recess they will make even more friends. If students have friends in school and in class they won’t get bored in school. These reasons Focus, Exercise, and Student Interaction demonstrate why recess absolutely has to be longer. The time to act is now, because if we don’t act now, when? When will we make longer recess so children will be happier and healthier? Obviously, we act now or never!
