Welcome to Year 2

Your Year 2 team are Mr Keane, supported by Mrs Johnson, Mrs Brown, Ms Foster and Mrs Brotherton.

Our PE days are Mondays and Thursdays, and we have Terrific Tuesday sessions for creative outdoor learning every other Tuesday afternoon. Don't forget to wear appropriate clothing.

Homework will be set on a Friday. This is to be completed in Homework books and returned for marking by the following Wednesday. Reading books will be changed twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays. Please ensure that children return their books and Reading Journals on these days.

Summer Term

This term our topic is 'On the Farm'. We will learn about the different types of farms; the jobs that have to be done on a farm; farm vehicles and machinery; farm animals and where our food comes from. We will also look at maps and identify different features of the landscape.

In Science we will learn about Plants and will even be planting our own seeds.

In Maths, we are following the White Rose Maths Scheme of learning and will begin with 'Volume, Capacity and Temperature', before going on to 'Fractions', then 'Geometry' followed by 'Statistics'.

In English, we will use texts linked to our topic such as 'Farmer Duck' and 'The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs' to develop our reading and writing skills. We will also write biographies, poems and non-chronological reports.

We will also continue with daily Monster Phonics sessions to help us to recognise all the phonemes and graphemes found in the English language. This will help ensure we become fluent readers and accurate spellers.

In P.E, we will be doing dance, athletics and striking and fielding games, whilst Computing lessons will provide opportunities to do some simple coding. In Music, we are learning to play the recorder.
