Year 2 Learning in Summer - Unit 6
Unit 6 is action packed. This half term, we dive into action with our new class hero—Traction Man! We will develop our descriptive writing inspired by Traction Man and his daring missions. With an outfit for every occasion, he bravely patrols the house, rescues toys, and even faces off with the fearsome… shark scissors? But are they real? We'll investigate by researching sharks and use what we find to write our own non-chronological reports. In maths, we will consolidate learning and fill any gaps identified in SATs and focus on applying our knowledge to solve real-world problems with confidence.
Using an atlas, in geography lessons we’ll locate where we live and our nearest beach—Weston-Super-Mare. We’ll compare its human and physical features with those of our local area, Lickey Hills and use directional language to describe routes, putting it all into action on our trip to Lickey Hills Country Park. We continue to study our local environment, identifying the plants and animals that live nearby in science and .reflect on the human life cycle, discussing how to manage change positively in P.S.H.E. In D.T. we will explore different types of puppets, learning about their materials and uses. The children will then develop their skills in joining materials, including basic sewing techniques, to create their own puppet. Lastly, in computing we’ll be coding using Scratch Jr, where the children will design and build their own interactive quizzes, developing their logical thinking and digital creativity.
We’re looking forward to a half term filled with curiosity, creativity, and lots of learning!
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.
