Maple Class home learning for Tuesday 5th May 2020

Spellings – add ‘es’ to action words ending with sh, ch, ss, x or a z to make the present tense (like cross=crosses, fish=fishes).

Try these and put into sentences:

Buzz, watch, push, pass, fix

English – look at the Year 2 common exception word list (see attachment). How many of these words can you spell? Can you spell them out loud? Can you write them in a list? How many can you write in a sentence? Can you use more than 1 word in the same sentence?

Maths – Here is a picture of nine of the houses in my street:

Find as many different ways to sort them into groups as you can. Record all the different possibilities in writing or pictures.

which language do they speak in Japan?
Can you learn to say “hello”, “goodbye” and “thank you” in Japanese?
Can you count to 10 in Japanese?
Can you explore Japanese writing?
Can you write your name in Japanese?
What is the national sport of Japan? Can you research and practise some of the actions?
What food is traditionally eaten in Japan?

Remember to celebrate the traditional festival of “Children’s day” on May 5th (Tuesday).
