Spring Term 1

What have Year 2 not done this half term?! From elephants to Commando Joe’s through the Victorian times, art days, house competitions and many more fun activities. As a class we are constantly improving and trying our very best, the team have been proud of the children’s progress as they have ventured through so many topics and subjects. Well done Year 2.

Autumn Term 2

A half term to remember for Year 2. We have been studying the United Kingdom in topic, discovering Materials in Science and adventuring outdoors for our Outdoor Classroom Phonics. While improving map skills, Year 2 have been active learners and also acting their way to an outstanding Nativity performance! We have worked on our resilience while completing our dragon hand puppets and studied hard on fairy tales, times tables, number bonds, shapes and story writing.

Autumn Term 1

This half term Year 2 have been incredibly busy. We have been exploring castles, actively learning and even dancing with Ricky. During our trip to Warwick Castle, we learnt what it really means to be a knight as we unpicked the history between the castle walls. After this, we managed to see a real life birds of prey show during our lunchbreak and enjoyed every moment of them soaring and swooping between our class. Within school, we have been completing topics such as Thinking Scientifically, Place Value in Maths and writing our own poetry in English. It has been amazing to focus on famous book characters such as Zog and Isadora Moon. We cannot wait for more adventures and learning on the build up to Christmas after half term.

They will have a maths homework every Friday, which needs to be completed for the following week.

Reading – children are expected to read at least 3 times a week with a parent or carer.

How to help your child

We ask you to support your child by hearing them read their individual levelled reading books at home. We would appreciate it if parents could sign and make a comment in the reading diaries at least three times a week. Helpers may also hear your child read their individual reading book in school, so it is important that this book is brought to school every day. Books are changed in school every week.
