Welcome to Year 2 Home Learning
Hi everyone!
You will see tabs on the right of this page, which will direct you to the resources you need each week for your home learning.
Each week will include your weekly Homework Menu. You can earn stars by completing the activities. Can you reach 20 stars? Maybe you’ll even earn some bonus stars!
Some of the boxes direct you to an extra information sheet. These can be downloaded from the same page. We understand that not everyone has printers at home and will keep worksheet resources to a minimum. Anything that is presented as a worksheet (e.g. your 10 a days!) could always be copied into your home learning books. They will also be uploaded as a word document so they can be edited on your devices if you prefer,
Online reading
