Year 2 - What we're learning

Please note, this page will be updated termly, so please keep checking back.

Autumn Term

Our topic this term is 'Fire and Ice.' We will be looking at the seasons, weather patterns and the historical event of The Great Fire of London to delve into this topic. We will be reading the book, ‘Pattan’s Pumpkin’ and 'Lost and Found' in our English lessons. These books are beautifully illustrated to inspire the children.

For reading, your child will have a book to read at home. Please return the book on a Tuesday, so it can be changed and returned for Wednesday.

Do listen to your child read daily please. It makes a huge difference to their reading ability and confidence. Remember, even if your child is not reading, listening to stories exposes them to language that they would otherwise not hear. It is vital that you read to them to support their ability to write.

In Maths, we will be learning about Place Value, Addition and Subtraction. In Place Value, we will be learning to count and write numbers up to 100, and will locate numbers on a number line. We will partition numbers into their values of tens and will learn to count in 2s, 3s, 5s and 10s.

The children will use a variety of resources to help them in their math's lessons, including: base 10, ten frames, numicon, rekenrek and counters.

This term we will be putting on a harvest festival performance for parents to come and watch. Dates and times will be made available later in this half term.
