Year 2W 2023 - 2024
Miss Wilkinson
Welcome back to the second half of the Spring term! We have many exciting events planned for the children so keep your eyes peeled.
Maths
In maths, we will start the term by focussing on multiplication, division and fractions. We will also re-cap and improve our knowledge on time. As always, we will be encouraging the practise and use of times tables – 2s, 5s and 10s.
We will also be doing a weekly 'MAD MINUTES' sessions, where the children are timed whilst completing their times tables. Ready, steady, get practising!
English
In English, we will be looking at instructions and creating our own set of instructions to look after a pet. We are also focussing on the book 'Hansel and Gretel’ by Anthony Browne. The children will be making predictions, exploring unfamiliar words, ordering the events of the story and answering comprehension questions.
History
In History, our topic is 'What was Rochdale's Role in the Industrial Revolution?’ Throughout this topic, we will be exploring what the industrial revolution is and its importance to modern society. We shall also investigate the local area.
Science
Our Science topic is 'Living Things and their Habitats'. We will look at how to identify whether something is living, dead or never been alive using MRS GREN. Can you remember what this stands for?
RE
In RE, we will be focussing on the topic 'Easter Symbols'. Our learning will be focussed around many ‘Big Questions’ and we will be discussing the many symbols you will see around Easter time and explore what they represent.
Important reminders
· PE kits must be in school every day
· Book bags must be in school every day
· Spelling and mad minutes should be practised everyday
· Try to read with your child everyday and ask them questions about the book they have read
· Homework is given out on a Friday and handed in every Thursday
Many thanks,
Year 2 team.
Miss Wilkinson.
