Phonics

Our phonics scheme is Little Wandle. We will be learning and recapping our phase 5 sounds this term. Here are some of the phonics mats that we will be using in class. Support your child to practice their sounds and use them to help with their reading.

We welcome you to the Year 2 Information Page!

Throughout the Autumn Term we will be looking at a new context called    'Who Cares?'

Within this context we will learn about the range of people that care for us. This will include our families and friends and professions that can care for us. We will learn about what it means to be a good friend and which qualities will be needed. Our learning will be a journey through how we can care for others as well as ourselves. In History we will study the Great Fire of London and the plague. Our DT and Art learning will be centered around healthy eating and famous artists who have used fruits and vegetables within their work. Our Science focus will be on exercise as well as animals and their habitats. In RE we will study a range of religions, exploring how we are special. This will be such an exciting term of learning :)

PE 

Year 2 PE days are a Wednesday and Thursday.

Please send your child in, in their PE kit. 

A friendly reminder of what your child's PE kit should look like:

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!
