Happy Half Term, Everyone!

It was lovely to see so many of you at our parent consultations this week. The children have settled beautifully into the routines and expectations of Year 2 — I’m sure you’ll agree that their progress so far has been fantastic!

Below is an overview of the topics we will be covering next term:

English – We will continue with our book Dear Earth. The children will create a travel log, write a letter and produce an informative leaflet.

Maths – Our focus will be on addition and subtraction, as well as exploring 2D and 3D shapes.

Science – We will continue learning about the uses of everyday materials, exploring transparency and opacity, natural and manmade materials and researching famous inventors.

Geography – Our topic question is “Would you like to live in a hot or cold place?” The children will begin by learning Where are the continents?

PSHE – Our theme will be Celebrating Differences.

RE – We will be learning about Hanukkah and Christmas.

D&T – Our focus will be on creating Hand Puppets, and the children will also design and make a hand puppet.

Computing – The topic will be Digital Photography.

Wishing you all a fun, restful and well-deserved half term break!
