Year 2 Learning in Spring - Unit 4
We have an exciting half term ahead, bursting with brilliant books, hands on investigations, and plenty of creative learning. In English, the children are diving into the hilarious story The Disgusting Sandwich by Gareth Edwards. They will write a product description to tempt the very hungry badger, learn to write a set of instructions for making the perfect sandwich, sequence the story, and create their own disgusting food stories to share with Year 1.
In Maths, the children will be measuring length and height using rulers and exploring fractions by recognising and finding halves, quarters, and thirds. We’re continuing our investigations into marvellous materials in science, and in D.T. the children will design a vehicle to transport visitors around Lickey Hills. Geography takes us all the way to Antarctica as we explore its climate, landscapes, and how people and animals survive there. Across the wider curriculum, we’ll be learning about the Easter story in R.E., systems and networks in Computing, healthy lifestyles in P.S.H.E, and invasion games and fitness in PE.
We’re looking forward to another fun and engaging half term with your children.
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 fluency questions are 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 Games on Tuesdays and PE on Wednesdays. Tuesdays 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
