Year 2B 2025 - 2026

Welcome to 2B

Please keep an eye on this page for updates throughout the year.  

Welcome to Year Two! We are all so excited to begin this year with you all. Year Two is a very important year, with lots of things to learn…are you ready? Let’s see what we are learning this half term!

In maths we will be learning more about the place value of numbers, learning new methods for addition and subtraction and carrying out some measuring tasks.

In English we will be diving into the book ‘Prince Cinders’, and reading all about the poor character who is treated badly by his hairy brothers. This is a traditional story with a twist, which we will retell orally and write our own version. We can’t wait to read your stories! We will also look at some non-fiction texts all about ‘The Weather’.

Our geography topic is ‘What are Seasons?’. We will build on our knowledge from Year One learning why we have seasons, and if all countries have the same weather and climate.

In science, we are going to be doing lots of experiments involving materials and their properties. Is cardboard waterproof? What does opaque mean? We will make predictions and learn lots of new vocabulary.

Our RE we will be learning about the big question 'What is the Good News Christians believe Jesus brings?'. In this topic we will be reading stories from the Bible and recognising a link with the concept of ‘Gospel’ or ‘good news’.

Our value this half term is ‘Generosity’. How will you show this value at school?

Important reminders-

• PE kit needs to be in school at all times.
