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.
