Year 2B 2024 - 2025

Welcome to 2B

Welcome back to the Spring term of Year 2!

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

We have lots of exciting things planned this term!

Welcome back to the second half of the Spring term! We have many exciting events planned for the children so keep your eyes peeled. 

In Maths, we will start the term by focusing 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.

In English, we will be looking at instructions and creating our own set of instructions to look after a pet. We are also focusing on the story 'Hansel and Gretel’. The children will be making predictions, exploring unfamiliar words, ordering the events of the story and answering comprehension questions.

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.

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? 

In RE, we will be focussing on the topic 'Why does Easter matter to Christians?' Our learning will be focused around many ‘Big Questions’. We will also be exploring Holy week and the stories that tell us about this week within the Bible. We will look at how Christians celebrate this festival and why it is important to them.

Reminders:

• Homework will be sent home on Fridays and needs to be completed by the following Thursday.
• Children need a full PE kit in school including PE pumps/ black trainers and appropriate clothing for both indoor and outdoor PE lessons.
• Please remember to check our class page on the school website for reminders and any recent work that we are proud of!

Let’s begin our learning Year Two!

Thank you for your continued support,

Mrs Bradley and the Year 2 Team!
