We hope that you and your children have had a very enjoyable Christmas break, and we would like to welcome everyone back to the start of a new term.
The Spring term is always a busy time for children in Year 2. In English, we will be learning about stories by the same author and we will be writing reports and recounts. We will also be applying a range of punctuation in our writing too. In Maths, we will be beginning to apply our arithmetic knowledge to solving problems while also securing knowledge of counting forwards and backwards in ones, twos, fives and tens. In Science, we will be studying living things and their habitats and what we need to survive and in Geography children will continue their learning about the United Kingdom by recognising the landmarks and physical features. In Art, children will be using different tools to investigate tone and create their own clay owl. After half term, we will study important historical events and the people involved within History and in DT we will be creating our own wheeled vehicles.
For more details about our learning this term, please click on the Spring Term Curriculum Overview.
PE sessions for Class 2 will take place on a Wednesdays and Fridays for the first half term, within each term, and Mondays and Wednesdays in each second half term.
Please ensure that children have the correct PE kit in school at all times. Should you wish, PE kit can be purchased from the school office. Please can we remind parents that no jewellery should be worn in school with the exception of stud earrings, and in line with Health and Safety guidelines these should not be worn on PE days. Children may be asked to remove earrings before PE sessions.
Children in Year 2 receive regular maths and English homework. Spellings will be given out on Friday and tested on the following Friday. Children are still expected to complete their reading comprehension homework and questions are usually found inside the front cover of their reading book. Children should complete at least one comprehension per week. Additional creative homework will also be given out every half term.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s class teacher, who will usually be available at the end of each day.
Thank you in anticipation of your continued support.
