Year 2 has some brilliant learning to look forward to in Term 3, as well as raising some money for charity in our Enterprise event!
In our English learning this term, we will be starting off the term by looking at ‘How to Catch a Star’ written by Oliver Jeffers. It is a fantastic story to help us write explanation texts. Then, we will be completing some shape poetry, and finally writing a newspaper report describing our enterprise event!
This term, the children are doing Geography and the question this term is ‘Why is our world wonderful?’. Each lesson, we will focus on a different key question, to eventually be able to answer this question. Our other key questions throughout the term will be:
For our Science, we are looking at uses of everyday materials. We will name different materials, recognise that stretching, twisting, bending and squashing can change solid objects to a new shape. We will also be working on our ‘working scientifically skills’ through recording data and using the data to answer simple questions.
We will also be looking at DT this term, where the children will be looking at healthy eating and designing, making and reviewing their own balanced pizza.
This term we will also be doing Jigsaw learning about ‘Healthy Me.’ which goes hand in hand with our DT learning! In PE we will be developing our Dance and Skipping skills. This term we will be learning about Islam in RE, looking at the question ‘How do we know some people have a special connection to God?’ Finally, in Computing we will be learning how to be secure online and how to handle data on a device.
In Term 2, Year 2 have some excellent learning to look forward to!
In our English learning this term, we are going to be looking at a range of different books from the author Julia Donaldson, and will eventually write our own version of ‘The Highway Rat’. Not only that, but we will be discussing what our favourite Julia Donaldson stories are and sharing them with each other. As well as this, we will be exploring poetry through the book ‘Please Mrs Butler.’
This term, the children are doing their first Year 2 History unit and the question this term is ‘How were schools different in the past?. Each lesson, we will focus on a different key question, to eventually be able to answer this question. Our other key questions throughout the term will be:
Last term in Science, we learnt about habitats. This term we are extending our learning to look at microhabitats! We will classify minibeasts, study different microhabitats and also plan and complete a scientific woodlice experiment.
We will also be looking at Art this term, where we will study the artist L.S Lowry, and work on our drawing skills.
This term we will also be doing Jigsaw learning about ‘Dreams and Goals.’. In PE we will be developing our Gymnastics and Games Skills. Finally, in Computing we will be learning how to be alert online, recognising what’s safe and what isn’t, whilst also continuing to improve our information technology skills!
Welcome to Year 2! We are so excited to get started with all of the amazing learning we have planned for this term. To start the year, we will be reminding the children of our learning skills through a variety of fun and challenging activities to encourage the children to:
In our English learning, we will be starting the year by reading the story ‘The Storm Whale’, where we will explore different genres of writing and immerse ourselves in the story! Then, moving to non-fiction, we will be writing Non-chronological reports about different habitats, linking to our science learning.
Our Geography question this term is ‘Would you prefer to live in a hot or cold place?’. Each lesson, we will focus on a different key question, to eventually be able to answer this question. Our other key questions throughout the term will be:
In Science, we are learning all about Habitats! We will look into life processes, identifying different plants and animals in various habitats, recognise how different habitats provide animals and plants the needs to survive and look at different food chains.
We will also be looking at Art this term, where we will study the artist Edward Tingatinga, and put our painting skills to the test.
This term we will also be doing Jigsaw learning about ‘Being me in my world’, in PE we will be developing our Gymnastics and Team Building skills. In Religion & Worldviews, we will be learning about why people across the world give thanks. Finally, in Computing we will be looking at our digital footprints online, and how to keep our information safe, whilst also improving our information technology skills!
