Year 2 2023 - 2024

Miss Hadfield

Mrs Martin-Rhind

Welcome to the Spring Term 2023

Sparrow Class - Miss Hadfield (Tuesday-Friday) and Mrs Heywood (Monday) 

Robin Class - Mrs Martin-Rhind (Monday-Wednesday) and Mrs Pomroy (Thursday-Friday)

Our topic for this term is 'Fire, Fire'.

This term we will be learning about the Great Fire of London and what life was like in 1666 compared to the present day. 

In English, we will be linking our history work with the book 'Vlad and the Great Fire of London'.  

In science, we will be learning and creating experiments around materials. We will be investigating different types of materials and what they are used for. We will look into how sustainable some materials are and how some materials are recycled. 

In maths, the children will be mainly learning about multiplication and division. We will be focusing on our 2, 5 and 10 times tables.

Please see our Curriculum Overview on the website for more detail on all subjects.  

Homework:

Our priority for homework is reading in Year 2. We ask you to ensure your child reads at least three times a week.

Every child has access to a Numbots login which they can access from home. We also suggest using the ‘1-minute maths’ app (White Rose Maths). Both of these will help your child further develop their number fluency. The 'Maths Frame' website is also useful for exciting games to encourage practising addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.  https://whiterosemaths.com/1-minute-maths.    https://mathsframe.co.uk/

PE Days:

For both classes we will have PE on a Tuesday and a Thursday each week.

Please come to school in PE kits on those days. Please ensure your child comes appropriately dressed for these lessons, particularly in the winter as outdoor sessions still take place. We request that no jewellery is worn in school and on PE days we ask that your child has any earrings covered or taken out.

Celebration assemblies will be on Fridays at 9am, every third week. You will get a message from school if your child is receiving an award in assembly.
