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 all about people that care for us in the community, how to contact them and we will even gets some visits from them!
We will be looking at healthy food, exercise and what affects these have on our bodies. We will also be learning about animals and their babies, as well as learning about how humans change over time.
In History we will be looking at The Plague and The Great Fire of London, how the plague was spread, what symptoms you had if you caught it and how the Great Fire of London helped stop it.
Within Art we will explore the Artist called Arcimboldo who creates artwork using fruit and vegetables.
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!
