Year 2B 2025 - 2026

Welcome to 2B

Please keep an eye on this page for updates throughout the year.  

Welcome back to the second half of the first term. We have a lot of exciting things planned this term!

In Maths, we will begin by focussing on doubling and halving. Later in the term, we will begin to think about telling the time. Do you know what time it is now? We will also be doing a weekly 'MAD MINUTES' sessions, where the children are timed whilst completing their times tables. Ready, steady, get practising! 

In English, we are focussing on the book 'The Cherry Tree Farm’ by Enid Blyton. The children will be making predictions, exploring the front cover and making inferences based on what they have read. Towards the end of this half term, we will look at a non-fiction text all about Guy Fawkes. 

In History, our topic is 'Why do we remember the fifth of November? ‘Throughout this topic, we will be exploring the events that led to Guy Fawkes plot to set the Houses of Parliament on fire. Have you heard any fireworks lately? Was his plan successful?

The children will also be making and tasting their very own Smores, a traditional bonfire night dish.

Our Science topic continues to be 'Materials Matter'. We are now focussing on materials that are used to make different balls and the reason why these materials have been used. Which ball was the bounciest, the football or the bouncy ball?

In RE, we will be focussing on the topic 'What is the Good news that Christians believe Jesus brings part 2’ - In this unit, pupils will learn about the concept of ‘Gospel’ and the good news of forgiveness, peace and love that Christians believe Jesus brings. Pupils will take time to consider whether Jesus’ good news is only good news for Christians or whether there are things for people from different worldviews to consider.

Important reminders-
