New term information for Spring 2
This term our class text will be Oliver Twist! We will be reading this in class with the children.
During the first week back, we will be completing some assessments with the children, these are nothing to worry about and are just a guide to help us find some of the areas of learning that may need revisiting from the year so far!
English - We will be writing our own 'faction' texts about the Keyworth Ridgeback Dragon! Children will learn how to lay out information texts and how to report on the 'facts' about their own dragon creations.
Maths - We will be continuing to learn about multiplication and division so keep practicing your 2, 5 and 10 times tables! We will also be moving on to look at different types of measurement, such as cm and m, as well as measuring mass, volume and temperature!
History - We are learning all about the Victorians!
Science - We will be learning about different materials and how they can change.
Art - We are learning about L.S Lowry and using our painting, sketching and drawing skills to create matchstick men cityscapes.
PE - This term we are learning to play basketball. Our PE days will be WEDNESDAY and FRIDAY. Please make sure children have got the correct kit in school on these days. See Miss Robinson's PE kit blog post if you are unsure of what items your child needs.
RE - We are learning about churches, visiting a church and all about Easter!
Computing - We will be learning about how to use software to create publications.
JIGSAW - We will be looking at 'healthy me' - learning about how we can keep our minds and bodied healthy!
Please remember homework expectations for Year 2 are to read 3 x per week and record this in home school diaries, as well as keeping in the green zone for Doodle Maths and Doodle Spell!
Our spelling rules will be taught in school and assigned on Doodle Spell each week for children to practice, but we do not complete a formal 'test' each week. Below are attached the rules and some of the words we will be learning each week.
