Welcome back everybody!
The Year Two children have settled in well and have made an excellent start to their Year Two learning journey.
Our main theme for this term is South America with a particular focus on Peru. If there are any South American experts or you have any photos or artefacts we would love to hear about them!

MathsThis term we will be working on;
The children will participate in a weekly problem solving activity ( The Big Solve) and will also enjoy a daily fun Magic Maths activity. |
LiteracyReading
The children are regularly assessed against a National Benchmark and from this they are directed to select a book of their choice from their appropriate level. The children are expected to read at home five times a week and are rewarded for doing so. When your child has read at home they should have their reading record for your comments, questions or concerns. This is checked daily by a teacher or LSA. Writing and Phonics The children spend 15-20 minutes everyday on phonics. Each phonic session is fast, fun and multisensory and specific to their individual learning needs. In their Literacy lessons and across the curriculum they will be learning to write lists, explanation texts, information texts and extended stories. There are weekly handwriting sessions and the children are encouraged to try to join their letters in their independent writing. Speaking and Listening We will encourage the children to develop their speaking and listening skills with a weekly discussion box that will be taken home by a different child each week. |
ScienceWe will be learning about forces and movement by investigating different kinds of vehicles.
To support our Science and DT work, we would be extremely grateful for a voluntary conribution of £2.50 |
Foundation SubjectsThrough our topic of South America and Peru we will be comparing and contrasting our own locality, exploring the people and traditions of Peru and even trying to learn a few Spanish words and phrases!
