Parrots and Woodpeckers - Yr 2

WELCOME TO YEAR 2!!

Woodpeckers and Parrots

We welcome you to the Year 2 Information Page!

This Spring Term we will be looking at the context 'Opposites Attract'

Within this context we will explore a variety of topics including comparing the Arctic and the Sahara, different materials, the artists Mondrain and Ashavak and animals habitats. 

Trips in Year 2 

On Thursday 23rd January we went up to the Bridget Riley exhibition which was held at the Hayward Gallery. 

We were so lucky as we got to look around the exhibition at her lovely paintings and had a workshop with an artist. 

Our next trip will be on the 11th March to Tillgate park. 

We will be taking part in an interactive workshop and learning all about how animals adapt to their habitats. 

Homework

Each week the children will receive spellings and times tables appropriate to their level. These will be in the children's homework books each week.

SPELLINGS: Your children will be given individualised Phonics group spellings. These will be stuck onto the homework sheet every week. If you require an additional copy of these, please speak to your class teacher.

The children must also participate in 30 minutes of online tasks via Reading Eggs or RM EasiMaths. 

Please click on the links to reach both of these sites.

Additional learning at home

 You can always carry on your learning, even when at home!  Make sure you read for 10 minutes each day and then record it in your yellow reading record books to show your teachers!

Maths is also all around you!  Can you count the steps in your house?  Add together door numbers?  Measure and weigh food/items when cooking?

Always practise your 2,5, and 10 times tables too!
