Throughout the year, we work hard on our early writing and mathematics skills so by the end of Year 2, we are fully equipped to move up to Key Stage Two.
In Year 2, we work on our reading, writing and mathematics skills in all Curriculum areas. In English this term, we are covering different styles of texts which include fiction, non-fiction and poetry. We have really enjoyed writing character descriptions and making our own marvellous medicines after reading Roald Dahl. In Maths, we follow a Maths Mastery curriculum and lessons have six parts! We use ‘Star Words’ in every lesson to help understand important Mathematical vocabulary. We cover a wide range of Curriculum subjects. The Spring Term is full of learning. In Science, we have learnt about Habitats and made our own creative food chains. In the next few months, we will also be learning about seas and coasts, Florence Nightingale and Giuseppe Arcimboldo. In RE, we are studying Judaism (including meeting a lovely Jewish visitor), exploring the meaning of Easter and in Computing we will continue to follow our Switched On Computing scheme. One of our favourite projects this term is in DT where we will plan, make and evaluate a vehicle. Watch out for our exciting creations!
