Welcome to Year 2

Your Year 2 team are Mr Keane, supported by 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 uploaded to Google Classroom 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.

Autumn Term

This term our topic is 'Toys'. We will learn about how toys have evolved through history from the simple wooden toys of old to the complex machines of today.

In Science we will learn about the 'Everyday uses of materials' and link this with our Toys topic.

In Maths, we are following the White Rose Maths Scheme of learning and will begin with 'Place Value', before going on to 'Addition and Subtraction', followed by 'Shape'.

In English, we will use texts linked to our topic such as 'Traction Man' and 'The Robot and the Bluebird' to develop our reading and writing skills. We will also write recounts, instruction texts 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.
