Year 2 Learning in Summer- Unit 6
This half term, we’re beginning our animal adventures, exploring stories and facts about creatures big and small. Using Wanted: The Perfect Pet by Fiona Roberton, we’ll develop our descriptive and persuasive writing as we help Henry convince his mum he really does need a dog. When a “dog” arrives, we’ll investigate whether it’s truly a dog or a duck in disguise by researching ducks and creating our own non‑chronological reports. In maths, we’ll consolidate key learning, address any SATs gaps, and apply our knowledge to real‑world problems.
In geography, we' will use atlases and maps to find where we live and to explore our nearest beach, Weston‑super‑Mare, comparing its features with those of the Lickey Hills. In science, we’ll be learning about the animals in our local environment, focusing on invertebrates and how they live. Our P.S.H.E. lessons will help us think about the human life cycle and how we can manage changes in a positive way. In D.T., the children will discover different types of puppets and then use simple sewing techniques to create their own wild animal puppet. Meanwhile, in computing, we’ll be using Scratch Jr to design interactive quizzes, building both logical thinking and digital creativity.
We are 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
