Year 2
Hello, everyone,
Welcome to the Year 2 page. Within this section of the website, you will find useful information to help support your child. This may include information on trips, PE days, homework, timetables and much more.
Meet the team:
Miss Taylor (2T)
Miss Morris (2M)
Mrs Harrison and Miss Dean (Teaching Assistants)
Key Information:
PE :
All Year 2 children will participate in two P.E lessons weekly. These will take place on Friday.
This is a crucial part of the curriculum and one in which all children should participate. All children in the school will have two hours of timetabled sport and PE per week. If your child is unable to take part (due to a medical reason) please provide a note.
Please remember that all long hair needs to be tied back and earrings removed/flat back earrings.
Homework:
All homework is given out on a Friday. Whilst it is not an obligation to hand it in, we are always happy to see what the children have managed to do at home.
Homework consists of a mixture of maths and English, but are provided in order to consolidate learning. This means that any homework given will be based on what has happened in the lessons and children (in theory) should be able to access it independently.
Please ensure that your children are reading every day for 10 minutes as well and record this in their reading diary.
Curriculum and Learning:
During the Autumn Term
This term, children will access a wide range of subjects within their learning. During Reading and English sessions, we will look at a variety of different texts, including Get Up Elizabeth and Smelly Louie. Maths will see children participate in lessons involving place value, addition and subtraction, and multiplication and division. In our afternoon lessons, we will focus on the Tudors and Henry VIII in particular. Highlights towards the end of the term include the trip to the Ancient High House (which will support their learning of the Tudors and going forward into the Spring Term when we will look at the Great Fire of London). In Design and Technology, we will build on our Tudor learning by constructing Tudor houses. During our Art lessons, we will be focusing on the artist Hans Holbein and sketching our own portraits. Within our Geography we will be exploring the five oceans and the seven continents where children can build on their atlas and map skills.
We are looking forward to a fabulous first half-term with your children!
