Welcome to Year 2
There are two classes in Year 2, 1HH taught by Mrs Hussain and Mr Hill and 1HT taught by Miss Hoare and Mrs Train. Our teaching assistants are Mrs Docherty, Mrs Lee, Miss Gaskell, Mrs Traves and Miss Richie. We enjoy taking our learning outside the classroom and exploring our nature area. Across the Year we will be applying what we have learnt in Year 1 and building upon it.
Spring Term – Around the world
In Maths, will develop our understanding of place value with numbers to 100 and develop methods in which to solve multiplication and division calculations. We will also apply our skills to mathematical problems.
As writers we will be developing our narrative writing skills which will include subordinate and co-ordinate conjunctions in our sentences, use a variety of punctuation, and become more consistent with the use of past tense.
As readers we will continue to develop our Phonics and work towards being more fluent readers. We will use two key texts (‘The Snail and The Whale’ and ‘Meerkat Mail’).
In Science, We will identify and compare the suitability of different
materials, including wood, metal, plastic, glass, brick, rock, paper and cardboard. We will explore how the shapes of solid objects made from some materials can be changed by squashing, bending, twisting and stretching.
P.E
In Year 2, we have P.E on a Tuesday and Wednesday.
In Gymnastics we will be sequencing movements. Refining our jumping and turning techniques and using equipment safely.
We will also be developing our sending and aiming techniques and applying them during team games.
