In English we will be reading A Bog Baby by Jeanne Willis. The children will begin by using conjunctions and a range of vocabulary in their writing. They will be writing their own stories and instructions.

Maths

In Maths, we are learning about money, multiplication and division, length and height and mass and capacity.

In History, our question is 'Why should we remember the Great Fire of London?'  Year 2 will be identifying how the fire started, how it spread and how it has impacted fire safety in the present day. 

Art

In Art, we will be doing work around African sculptures and textiles. We will be looking at patterns and symbols that they use and creating our own interpretations. 

PE

PE is on a Monday and a Friday. Please make sure your child is wearing appropriate PE kit for the weather. 

Homework

In the front of your child's reading record there is a list of words that children in year 2 must be able to read and spell. Please practice reading and spelling these with your child. 

In your child's reading record, you will also find their log in details for TTRockstars. 

Your child will be sent home with phonetically decodable reading books, which will be changed on a Monday and a Friday. When they read 5 times at home they move up the reading rainbow. Once your child reaches the top of the reading rainbow they will receive a certificate.
