Y2 home learning for week commencing 22nd June 2020

Task: Northcote 'Sports Month' Fitness Challenge

During this time of the year, we should have been completing in our 'Sports Day'. Rather than

cancelling, we have decided to change our plans this year. Instead of a 'Sports Day' we are

organising a 'Sports Month'.

For the next 4 weeks, we will be setting daily fitness challenges for you and your family to

complete - this will help us achieve the recommended 30 minutes of exercise each day!

Each day you need to check the school's Twitter account to see what the daily fitness

challenge is.

https://twitter.com/northcotesch?lang=en

We want to see as many photos of you and your family completing all the fitness

challenges as well as images of fitness record cards. (Remember when posting

a photo on Twitter do not include your name).

If you are able to complete all of the week's challenges you will receive a certificate.

To be able to receive the certificate, you need to email an image of the fitness record card completed weekly to your class teacher.

Hints to help with the SPaG quizzes

A conjunction is a small word which joins 2 phrases together.

Noun = person, place or thing

Adjective = describing word

A compund word is 2 smaller words put together to make a longer words - e.g. basket + ball

= basketball (a compound word), rain + bow = rainbow (a compound word).

An adverb is usually an -ly word and is describes how the action (verb) is being done - e.g

quickly, quietly, happily, slowly.

A homophone is when a word sounds the same but has a sifferent spelling & meaning - e.g.

I/eye, sun/son

An expanded noun phrase is a describing phrase using adjectives and nouns.
