Welcome to Year 2!
Our Learning This Term
- Writing: We will be using ‘The Last Wolf’ by Mini Grey for our writing this half-term. The book follows Little Red who sets off into the woods to hunt a wolf, but instead finds the last wolf living with other endangered animals. She discovers how their forest home has disappeared and decides to take action. The book shares a hopeful message about protecting wildlife and restoring nature.
- Maths: Our focus will be on consolidating the four operations and fractions.
- History: Our topic this half-term is ‘The Victorian Seaside – Southport Pier’. We will be interpreting evidence to help answer the question, ‘How did people in Victorian Britain experience the seaside and how is it different from today?’.
- Science: Our topic is ‘Changing Materials’. We will learn about how squashing, stretching, twisting etc. can change different materials and how this can make them suitable for different purposes.
For more details, please see the Year 2 curriculum overview.
Reminders
- A named water bottle must be brought in every day and taken home for washing.
- PE kits should be in school on Wednesdays.
- All uniforms must be clearly labelled.
Reading
Reading regularly at home is proven to increase your child’s confidence, fluency and accuracy and expand their vocabulary. Please ensure you are listening to your child read at least 5 times per week. It is very important to discuss the book with your children to ensure they understand what they are reading.
Important Information
- Book bags must be brought in daily. Even just a few pages at home each day helps build fluency.
- Children receive fruit and milk at morning break, but they may bring in their own healthy snack (no nuts).
- School starts promptly at 8:50 am (gates open 8:45 am). Arriving late can make children feel unsettled and impact their learning.
If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to ask!
Miss. Adamson and Mrs. Wright.
