Hello, we made it - half term is here!

It was great to speak to so many of you at parent consultations on Monday.
The children have settled extremely well into the routine and expectations of Year 2, I'm sure like me, you are very proud of their progress.

This week the children enjoyed the story of 'Anancy and Mr Dry Bone and learning about Mary Seacole. 

In maths, they challenged themselves and completed problem solving sums by answering in different representations.

Please see below an outline of the topics we will be covering next term.

English - We will be discussing the difference between instruction and explanation. The children will be writing their own explanations.

Maths - We will be adding and subtracting 2 and 3 one digit numbers along with measuring using different scales.

Science - We will start our topic on uses of everyday materials.

Geography - We will start our topic on 'Life in a city' and start with exploring major capital cities around the world.

PSHE - We will be start the topic on 'Celebrating differences'.

RE - We will be learning about the festivals of Diwali, Hanukkah and Christmas.

D&T - We will be starting our topic on creating 'Hand Puppets'.

Home learning

Following on the topic of puppets next term. I would like the children to create a small moving puppet of their choice. We have looked at lots of different ideas. The children will discuss their character and materials they have used to the class.

Date for the puppets to be in by is Monday 7^th December.

 Please could your children also complete at least 1hour over half term on mathseeds or mathletics and reading eggs.

 Wishing you all a restful, fun half-term.

From the Year 2 team.
