Welcome to Year 2
There are two classes in Year 2: 2KL and 2JT.
2KL is taught by Mrs Kelly (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday) and Mrs Lloyd (Thursday and Friday), and our teaching assistant is Miss Smith.
2JT is taught by Mr Tidy and our teaching assistant is Mrs Zota.
Across the Year we will be applying what we have learnt in Year 1 and we will build upon this.
Spring Term – Around The World + Those Who Came Before
As mathematicians, we will develop our calculations methods further; going from addition and subtraction to multiplication and division. We will also learn about fractions.
We will continue to develop our understanding of place value with numbers to 100.
As writers we will be developing our narrative writing skills which will include a variety of punctuation. We will also explore different writing purposes, including writing to entertain and to inform.
As readers we will continue to develop our Phonics and work towards being more fluent readers. Children who are off the Phonics programme, explore different texts and carry out comprehension activities.
We will use key texts like ‘The Snail and The Whale’, ‘Wanted the Perfect Pet’ and ‘Meerkat Mail’.
In Science, we will be learning about materials and their properties.
P.E
In Year 2, we have P.E on a Monday and Friday.
In Gymnastics we will develop our balancing and co-ordination skills, as well as our agility, and begin to apply these in a range of activities.
In Multi Skills we will continue to develop our ball skills, mainly by kicking, rolling and throwing (sending and aiming techniques).
