Our last art assembly before half term was the (male) kingfisher from .15 minutes of intent focus across the school, all drawing at the same time. 350plus kingfishers in all their guises. Each one unique and each one a credit to the budding artist who drew it. 1of3.. https://t.co/F5JbwXYphv

We are supporting the https://t.co/cb5yMoE9hp campaign to encourage children to eat more veg. It's proven to make eating vegetables more fun. Do look out for reward charts & sticker packs in school bags. We'll be asking for pupils to send in photos for our website.

Sprites and Unicorns have loved reading the story of The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister. They each made a special shiny scale to add to the giant Rainbow fish on display to remind the children to always be kind and share with others. https://t.co/zB2vFQ4lua

Year 2 - Butterflies and Ladybirds

Summer Term 2021

We hope you have all had a lovely Easter and are ready for our final term. This half-term we will be learning the following:

Writing

Year 2 will be continuing to follow the Read, Write, Inc. programme. During this term, your child will be streamed into similar reading ability groups, where they will be able to read a story fluently and complete writing tasks based on what they have read. Your child will be bringing home 3 books each week (storybook, book bag book and a library book). Please ensure your child reads this book with you and returns them back to school. Additionally, our English class text will be Greek Myths.  

Maths

The focus for maths this half term will be on multiplication and division. Your child will be exposed to different mental and written strategies. For multiplication and division, we will be solving problems using grouping, sharing and arrays.

Science

We will be focusing on Plants and exploring the conditions a plant needs in order to grow.

Topic

Year 2 will be focusing on the following topics:

  • Music – I Wanna Play In A Band
  • History – Ancient Greeks
  • R.E. - Hinduism

PE

PE will take place on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Please make sure your child comes to school on those days wearing their PE kits.

Art

Art will take place on a Friday with Ms Clausen.

Homework and Reading

Homework will be set on Monday via Mathletics weekly. Children also have access to Times Tables Rockstars where they should be focusing on their 2, 5 and 10 times tables.

Reading books will be changed in class on a weekly basis. We encourage that children read every day at home and please record these in their reading records.

Best wishes

Miss Brooks, Miss Kipps and Mrs Osmenaj.
