Welcome to Year 2

Your Year 2 team are Mr Keane, supported by Ms Foster and Mrs Egan.

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.

Autumn Term

This term our topic is 'Out and About'. We will learn about the reservoirs, canals and the flora and fauna of the local moors. We will also look at maps, identify different features of the landscape and use cardinal directions to describe journeys and routes.

In Science we will learn about Living Things and their Habitats.

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 'The Robot and the Bluebird' and 'Traction Man is Here' to develop our reading and writing skills. We will also write persuasive letters, instructions 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 invasion games, whilst Computing lessons will focus on online safety. In Music, we are learning to sing a range of songs.
