Welcome to Year 2
2024-25
Welcome to Year 2. In this class, there will be Miss Ward and Miss Bradley who are so excited to be working with you.
The classroom has had a fabulous makeover, designed to support children's learning and make it a calm, working environment.
We have got an action-packed year planned ahead. Please see below about the exciting learning taking place in Year 2 and any updates you need for the year.
What do you need to know?
- PE will be on a Wednesday afternoon with Miss Grayston
- Spelling tests will be on a Friday (start date TBC)
- Read with your child 3 times a week
Our topic for this half term will be Famous Queens. This is not only a new topic for the children, but a new topic in Year 2. I am so excited to teach the children all about two famous, important women in British history.
Maths
For our first maths topic, we are looking at place value. Please have a look at the vocabulary, models and images below to support your child with their maths learning.
Check out Year 2 using their knowledge organisers to help them spell numerals as words.
We also have access to an amazing website where you can access different units we look at in Maths. They link directly to White Rose Maths, the scheme we follow.
English
In English, we will be reading The Red Prince and The Tin Forest. Both of these books link nicely with our history lessons on Famous Queens and our science topic on materials.
Science
In science, children will be diving deeper in everyday materials and looking at their properties. Please see the knowledge organiser below to find out what they will be learning.
