Roundwood One Learning From Home
Week beginning 14.12.20
We would have been doing lots of fun Christmas things at school this week so I really hope you can all try to have a fun Christmas themed week at home. All the activities below link to Christmas.
We will make our moving dinosaur scenes when we are back at school because I know you were all looking forward to that activity. I am going to think of other things I can get as well to make them even more brilliant! You will be able to take them home for your family to admire.
Instead of having a Christmas party, we will have a New Year Party and say hello to 2021. We will make it even better than a Christmas party!
Parents… Oak Academy is also available to use if you wish. If you click on the ‘schedule’ tab and then ‘Year 2’, there is a maths and English lesson for each day of the week.
English
Here are some English activities that you might enjoy.
The Mystery of the Hungry Elf
It is your job to discover which elf has eaten all the cookies. You need to solve each clue before Father Christmas finds out what has happened. Good luck!
Document 1 The Mystery of the Hungry Elf
Document 2 has lots of different activities for you to try. You will need to unjumble letters to make words, complete a crossword, make compound words (a longer word made up of two smaller words e.g. snowflake) and think about nouns, verbs and adjectives.
Document 2 KS1 Christmas Word Fun
Document 3 has lots of English activities and they particularly focus on comprehension. It would be helpful to work with an adult to help you read words you are not sure of.

Maths Learning
Here are some Christmas maths activities for you to try.
This activity will help you to practise times tables. Remember to count on your fingers if you do not know the answer. For example, 3 x 5 put up three fingers and count in 5s. The more you practise the better and quicker you will get. You all amazed with our 5 minute times table challenge on Thursday and Friday!
