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 summer holiday! We are very excited for this half term as we have lots of fun learning planned! 

What will we be learning?

English

In English we will be reading Traditional Stories and Fables. We will read and respond to texts and then collect vocabulary to write our own story. Have a look below to see some of the texts that we will be reading and why not go to the library and see if you can find some other Fables?

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

Mathematics

In maths we will be looking at:

• Place value and money
• Addition and subtraction
• Multiplication and division

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 Animals including humans. We will look at hatching eggs, healthy hearts and we will prepare a healthy lunch box! Our first piece of homework will be to research an animal of your choice. The best 'Animal Fact Files' will be uploaded onto our webpage for others to read!

History

UP, UP and AWAY! We will go back in time to look at the first aeroplane that was invented and who invented it! We will be learning about the first flight and how aeroplanes have changed our lives. Have you ever been on an aeroplane? Do you think aeroplanes have always looked like they do now?

RE

Our RE unit this half term is ' Jesus, friend to everyone'. We will be discussing who Jesus' friends were, why he was friends with everyone and what we can learn from His stories. RE is a special lesson where we have time to learn, respond and reflect. I am looking forward to having thoughtful conversations with Year 2 and creating our class RE scrapbook together. 

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
