Year 2B 2024 - 2025

Welcome to 2B

Welcome back to the Summer term! We have many exciting events planned for the children so keep your eyes peeled. 

In maths, we will begin by looking at multiples of 2, 5, 10 and 3. We will then move onto fractions. Would you rather have half a pizza or 3/4? We will also be continuing our 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 'Into the Forest' by Anthony Browne. The children will be making predictions, exploring unfamiliar words, ordering the events of the story and answering comprehension questions. Towards the end of this unit the children will be writing their own version of the story by changing the character that the boy meets in the forest.

In Geography, our topic is 'What are the Seven Wonders of the World?' Throughout this topic, we will consider what a 'wonder' is and what makes a 'wonder'. The children will then create a brochure to try and persuade people to come and visit one of the various ancient and modern wonders. 

Our Science topic is 'Plants'. We will look at the life cycle of a plant and how they disperse their seeds. Later in the unit, we will observe the similarities and differences between seeds and bulbs by dissecting them and understanding the name and role of each part. We have also planted some seeds of different vegetables! We can't wait to see how they grow!

In RE, we will be focussing on the topic ‘What is the Good News Christians believe Jesus brings.’ Our learning will be focused around many ‘Big Questions’ and we will be discussing how Jesus and the disciples brought Good News to many people.

Thank you for your continued support.
