Year 2F 2019 - 2020

Welcome to Year 2!

We are pleased to welcome you back after the break and hope that you have all had a relaxing half term! We are very excited for this half term as we have lots of fun learning planned! 

What will we be learning in Autumn 2?

English

In English we will be looking at writing non-fiction texts such as; postcards and letters, information texts and instructions. We will create an illustrated letter describing an amazing adventure based on Dear Teacher by Amy Husband.

Watch this space for uploads of our most recent English work!

Mathematics

In maths we will be looking at:

• Measurement - Time
• Addition and subtraction
• Shape and Data

We will also be doing a weekly 'MAD MINUTES' session, where the children are timed whilst completing their times tables. Ready, steady, get practising!     

Science

In science we will be learning about Materials and their Properties. We will use scientific vocabulary such as; opaque, transparent, rigid, flexible, hard, soft, bendy, waterproof. We will carry out experiements to test materials and decide which materials are best for different purposes. Would you wear a paper coat?

Geography

Our geography topic is called, 'Where does our food come from?' We will be studying the world map and looking at all the different countries and the food that they provide. We will also look at fairtrade and research how certain foods are made. Where do you think chocolate comes from?

RE

Our RE unit this half term is ' Why was the birth of Jesus such good news?'. We will be reflecting on our own good news and how we share this. We will remind ourselves of the Nativity story and respond to this through role play and drama. How did God send good news?

Important reminders 

• PE kits need to be in school every day
• Book bags must be in school every day
• Homework is given out on a Friday and handed in every Thursday.

We will upload any new useful information to our webpage throughout the half term and upload photographs of our fabulous work! 

If you have any questions regarding your child's learning, please do not hesitate to speak to Mrs Freeman.

Many thanks,

Mrs Freeman
