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 Spring Term we will be looking at a new context called    'Opposites Attract'

Within this context we will learn all about polar and desert regions. We will look at the animals that live their and how they are adapted to suit their environments. In Science, we are learning about materials and their properties. We will then use our knowledge to better understand why certain materials are used for different objects. Our art learning will be focussed around harmonious and contrasting colours as well as learning about Mondrian and his style of painting. 

PE 

Year 2 PE days are a Wednesday and Friday.

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!
