Year 2

Welcome back Year Two!

English

Our English work this term begins with the story Dear Earth.  We will be using the story as a focus to learn about writing a formal letter before looking at it as an inspiration for writing poetry.

Maths

In maths we will be looking at fractions of a whole.  This will focus on halves, quarters and thirds. 

Theme

In theme we will be continuing our Geography topic Our Wonderful World.  Following our work on the North and South Poles we will look at the continents, oceans as well as compass points and maps.

Science

Our science topic will see us looking at ‘Living things and their Habitats’.  This will cover areas such as identifying plants and animals as well as looking at their habitats.  We will also be looking at simple food chains.

Reading

We will begin our new reading lessons this term which will take place every day. 

Reading is an important part of your childs learning.  Please ensure that you listen to them read their reading book and note in their reading record that you have done so.  If they read another book from home please make a note of this in their record as we would love to know! 

PE

PE will take place on a Monday and Thursday and children will need to come to school in their PE kit, including trainers.

Thank you for your support.
