Hello everyone!
The children have settled extremely
well and are starting to learn the routine of the classroom.
Please see below an insight of the
subjects and topics for this term.
English
We will be learning about list poems and
traditional tales. The children will be reading the stories, sequencing events,
carrying out comprehension activities and writing their own stories. They will
be interviewing characters from the stories so that they are able to discover
how they feel and why they acted the way they did. We will use role play to
tell stories and re-write story endings.
Maths
Securing fluency to 20, regrouping and solve
problems using addition and subtraction.
Science
Our science topic is everyday materials. The
children will identify and compare a variety of materials, gather and record
data along with carrying out different experiments.
History
Our topic is the history of the
school. We will read some old logbooks we have dating back to 1897 and compare
the school to Victorian times.
Art
Observational drawings, exploring
shading using different pencils. We will be researching the famous artist/architect Antoni Gaudi for our
class display.
PSHE
Being me in my world. We will discuss
children’s hopes and fears, recognise when they are worried and know who to ask
for help along with how to work with others cooperatively and help others to
learn.
ICT
Develop familiarity with computer/laptop
and keyboard.
RE
Expressing religious meaning. We will look at why light, water and a tree are an important religious symbol.
I look forward to meeting you on Wednesday afternoon 4.30pm or 5.30pm for 'Meet the Teacher'.
Wishing you all a great sunny
weekend!
The Year 2 team.
