Year 2 - Sydney Class
Welcome to Sydney Class
Year 2 Home Learning Summer 2020
Hello to our wonderful Sydney Class!
We hope that you are all well and enjoying this break from school as much as you can. This is a good opportunity to keep up to date with reading, writing (learning some spellings in sentences) and basic maths skills like adding, taking away, multiplication and division facts for 2, 5 and 10 times tables, then your 3 and 4 times tables.
Don't forget to exercise your body as well as your brain!! Remember you can access Cosmic Kids yoga sessions on Youtube. I'm sure you already know that Joe Wicks, the fitness instructor is hosting live workouts on Youtube at 9am every week day. Plus there are Science sessions with Maddie Moate from 11 am, as well as dance lessons from Strictly's Oti Mabuse from 11.30 am. There's loads you can do to have fun and keep busy. Try some new art skills or ask your family if you can help them bake something!
We are sure that you are all being the best versions of yourselves, behaving well and helping your family wherever you can. As this is a difficult time we know that you will need to be resilient, (showing that you can face a challenge and carry on) and we are proud of you all.
Stay safe Sydney Class, we miss you!
Mrs Tikare and Mrs Watson

Hi our wonderful Sydney class,
WOW!! This is our last week, how has that happened? We are so sad that we have not been able to see you since March and have missed our final week together but we know you have been working hard at home and staying safe.
We hope you are all still well and continue to enjoy spending time with your family. We can't believe that when you come back in September you will be in year 3, that is crazy!
During the holidays make sure you rest and prepare for September. Try to continue reading and practising your handwriting, times tables and spellings as and when you can. Also make sure you have some fun and make lots of memories.
For the last week of home learning keep up all the good work. Remember to send it to us so we can see your last lot of work from year 2. It is always a pleasure to hear from you! We love to see your work and like to post your pictures up on the Gallery pages. You can catch us on the following:

Have the best summer, stay safe and we hope to see you all very soon.
We have loved teaching you Sydney class and wish it could have been different but keeping you all safe was our top priority.
Sending you all the biggest virtual hugs and high fives for all the amazing work you have done in the last 16 weeks and throughout year 2.
Much love,
Mrs Tikare and Mrs Watson

Hi again, to our wonderful Sydney Class children and parents!
Hopefully this message finds you all well and able to enjoy some of our summer weather. We always say it but we do genuinely miss seeing you all and the normal routines which go along with that. With the holidays ahead we know it will be great to relax and have a well-earned rest, but it will still be important to keep up regular reading, along with some basic mental maths practice, in readiness for next academic year. Hopefully we will all return in September, fully refreshed and ready for all the learning ahead. In the remaining days ahead keep up all the good work. Remember to send it to us so we can see how you are doing. It is always a pleasure to hear from you! Of course we love to see your work and like to post your pictures up on the Gallery pages. You can catch us on the following:

Hi Sydney class!
How are you all doing? We are missing you all so much and cannot wait to see you all again soon. What have you been up to? We would love to hear from you via the teacher email and keep remembering to send us your amazing work you have been doing at home. Another week has passed and we hope you have been behaving for your mums and dads. Did you do anything nice for father's day last Sunday? Are any of your brothers/ sisters back at school yet? Take care, look after each other and keep smiling.
We are really looking forward to seeing and hearing from you all soon.
All our love and virtual high fives,
Mrs Tikare and Mrs Watson xx
Hi Everyone!
It's us again! We cannot believe another week has passed without seeing your lovely, smiling faces in school. Obviously the only way we can look at it is that we are a week closer to normality returning and happily doing some of the things we used to do. Obviously we want to remind you to look after yourselves; take regular exercise, maintain the social distance as advised, try to complete the tasks as far as you can, enjoy yourselves too, but take care in the sun as this week ahead is set to be very warm. I'm sure all of these things will help us with the remaining weeks of home learning ahead. Don't forget that we love to hear from you and are pleased to post some great examples of your work. We hope that you are all doing well. As ever, we are sending big hugs and a huge thumbs up for the resilience you and your families have shown throughout this time of the 'new normal,'
Take care, 
love from
Mrs Tikare x and Mrs Watson x
Hi our lovely Sydney class,
We hope that you have had a good and productive week. We hope you have been behaving yourselves but also having lots of fun with your families. Please continue to send us any work/ photos you are proud of from your home learning across the week as we love seeing it all. We try to put as much up on the gallery as we can so everyone can see your achievements. We are still missing you all so much! Keep in touch with us so we know how you are getting on. Enjoy the sunny weather and be safe.
Take care.
With big virtual hugs from both of us,

Hi Again...
to our wonderful, Sydney Class pupils and parents! We hope that you continue to stay safe and well, and that you are managing to have some fun too! Obviously we love to see all the work that you do, plus if you have an area of special interest maybe you can send us in something like a special report, or piece of related art work, a recipe and photos of the finished product. It would be like you are in the classroom sharing with us! Hopefully, we can add an area of special interest to the gallery pages if we have enough responses. As ever, it goes without saying that we are missing you and your lovely, smiley faces! Keep in touch with us so we know how you are getting on. Thank you to all of you who have contacted us and sent us work in; it is always a pleasure to see your amazing work! We will try to add as much of it to Jubilee's gallery pages as possible.
With big virtual hugs from both of us,
Mrs Tikare and Mrs Watson

This year we have been doing a 'Daily Mile' where we all go outside onto the playground each day and keep up our activity and fitness levels by walking around as a class.
In art this half term we have been doing sketches based on our topic 'Fire, Fire, Burning Bright' which is linked to The Great Fire of London. We have used pencils, pastels and charcoal to create our own scenes. We have also created sketches based on london now and compared the similarities and differences.
For part of Chinese New year we had a special Chinese New year dance workshop where we were taught about the different Chinese zodiac animals and learnt some Chinese dancing. We were also able to see and try on some Chinese dragon costumes and use Chinese fans.
In computing this half term we have been covering the topic 'We are astronauts'. We have been looking at algorithms and using the programme Splat to create a sprite and give it movement, actions, sound and control.
An external company called 'Splatz' came in to teach the children circus skills and support our cross curricular learning.
Year two pupils have been trained in basic first aid by an external agency. Here are some pictures of the training.
During our recent challenge and support day year two children planned and created their own circus equipment. They used a range of materials and discussed the most efficient ways to join these materials. They also evaluated their work and discussed how these skills might be used in the real world.
As part of year twos 'The Circus is Coming to Town' topic, children have independently created their own circus tents for their homework.
