Year 2 Learning in Autumn- Unit 2
Get ready for a half term packed with adventure, creativity and festive fun!
In English, we will be exploring the mysterious picture book The Dark by Lemony Snicket. Children will step into the role of advisers, writing letters to Laszlo to help him overcome his fear, before retelling the story in their own words using exciting vocabulary and conjunctions such as because, when and if.
In maths, we will be building confidence with addition and subtraction within 100, tackling challenges involving crossing tens boundaries and solving real-life word problems. We will also revisit 2D shapes, identifying, describing and sorting a range of polygons.
Our Geography topic, Marvellous Madagascar, will take us on a journey to one of the world's most extraordinary islands. Children will discover where Madagascar is, compare it with the UK, and explore its unique wildlife, breathtaking landscapes and tropical climate. Elsewhere a cross the curriculum, we will be programming robots in Computing, celebrating what makes each of us unique in P.S.H.E, and becoming junior chefs in DT as we prepare a delicious vegetable soup whilst learning important food preparation and hygiene skills. In Science, we will explore how to keep our bodies healthy through exercise, healthy eating and good hygiene.
In R.E, we will reflect on the Christian values of forgiveness, peace and love, before ending the term with one of the highlights of the year: rehearsing and performing our Christmas production for family and friends.
Spellings will be sent out on Mondays to practice at home before the tests on the following Monday. Current spellings can be found online on the link to the right. Maths home learning is set on Wednesday and due back by the following Monday. On a Wednesday evening your child will be sent home with both their spelling test book and their maths home learning book so you can see how your child is progressing. We also strongly encourage the children to read at least three times a week at home and reading books will be changed every Thursday.
Please make sure children wear their PE kits for our sporting activities: we have P.E on Tuesdays and Games on Wednesdays. Wednesday Games lessons will be outdoors (weather permitting) and you may wish to consider your child having a tracksuit for the day. This must be PLAIN navy please. Please make sure all earrings are removed or covered with tape before school on these days
