Maths Lessons:

As it is Tuesday you will find your Maths lesson on White Rose Maths.

The worksheets will be uploaded separately to our Year 2 Distance Learning Page for you to access from now on. You will no longer be able to access the worksheets on the White Rose Maths website, but you will still be able to access the video.White Rose have teamed up with BBC Bitesize who have additional games and activities to run alongside each lesson. Each day I will provide you with the link for that particular lesson, should you wish to use it.Please note: BBC Bitesize activities are extra, please complete the White Rose learning first.

Please follow what we set and don’t worry about the fact that we are not doing the Maths work set by White Rose Hub for today, this is because we do not rely solely on their planning but like to give the children some variety.

Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings. They also have different spellings.

These are some homophones that often confuse people:

•'here' eg "put it down here" and hear eg "Speak louder, I can't hear you“

•'see' eg "it's so dark, I can't see anything" and 'sea' eg "let's go swim in the sea“

•'be' eg "will you be my friend?" and 'bee' eg "the bumble bee was on the flower"
