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 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 begin by focussing on the properties of numbers and then move onto fractions of amounts. Would you rather have half a cake or a quarter? We will also continue with our weekly 'MAD MINUTES' sessions, where the children are timed whilst completing their times tables. Ready, steady, get practising! 

In English, we are focussing on the book 'The Dragon Machine’ by Helen Ward, which is part of our ‘Fantasy texts’ unit. The children will be making predictions, exploring unfamiliar words, ordering the events of the story and answering comprehension questions. Towards the end of this half term, we will be looking at instructions.

In Geography, our topic is 'Where does our food come from? ‘Throughout this topic, we will be exploring how food is made and the process of how our food gets to the shops from farms. We will also be looking at different parts of the world and the foods that originate from each country.  

Our Science topic is 'Animals including Humans'. We will look at the life cycles of different animals and explore the different organs in our bodies. 

In RE, we will be focussing on the topic ‘Who is Muslim and how do they live?’. Our learning will be focussed around many ‘Big Questions’ and we will be discussing more about Islam. Key beliefs and ways of living for Muslims.

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

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!
