We are so excited to have you join us for a fun-filled year of learning, discovery and growth. In Year 2, we will explore exciting topics, build new skills and enjoy lots of hands-on activities. We can’t wait to share our journey with you - keep checking back to see what we’ve been up to!

This Term's Learning: 

This term, our school value is Responsibility which we will be exploring and embedding throughout all areas of our learning.

This half term, in English, we will be using Rosie Revere, Engineer by Andrea Beaty as the inspiration for our writing. We will develop our narrative writing skills as we plan and write our own invention stories. In Maths, we will be learning about Time, Position and Direction, and Statistics. Our Science topic is Living Things and Their Habitats, where we will explore different habitats and how living things depend on their environments. In RE, we will be learning about the stories of Jesus and reflecting on their meaning and importance. In Art, our focus this half term is the work of Giuseppe Arcimboldo, and we will be creating our own artwork inspired by his unique style. In History, we will be exploring the fascinating History of Flight, learning about key inventors, pioneers and significant events. Alongside all of this, we will enjoy engaging lessons in Computing, PSHE, and Music. We will also continue to explore our ‘No Outsiders’ texts, which help us celebrate diversity, promote understanding, and encourage respect for everyone.

Important Information:

Reading:
We love to read in Year 2! We’ll spend lots of time reading together and independently - exploring a wide range of books.
Children are expected to read at least three times per week at home, with this recorded in their reading record by an adult.
Please ask your child questions about the book to check their understanding and build their comprehension skills.
Reading records will be checked, and books changed, on Wednesdays.

Spellings:
Your child will receive spellings to practise at home. Spellings will be given out each half term and displayed on our class page.
Children will be tested in school on Wednesdays.

PE:
Our PE day is Thursday with Neil. Please send your child to school wearing their PE kit.
Ensure that jewellery is removed and long hair is tied up. Children should wear trainers or pumps.
