Welcome back to Year 2! SUMMER TERM 2024
We are all looking forward to an exciting final term in year 2!
Literacy
During our literacy sessions, we will be looking at the texts The Tunnel, The Twits and a selection of non-fiction texts related to our topics. We will be rehearsing all the skills we have learnt this year such as correct punctuation (capital letters, full stops, question marks and exclamation marks), using a range of conjunctions, using the 4 different sentence types and spelling common exception words correctly.
Numeracy
This term we will be recapping all four operations ( + – x ÷ ). We will have a real focus on problem solving using the different methods we have learnt so far this year in different contexts. We will also be looking at measure, position and direction and statistics. All children should know their 2,5 and 10 x tables and corresponding division facts and number bonds to 10, 20 and 100.
Theme
This term our theme is “The Seaside”. We will look at the seaside in the past and present, identifying how they have changed and what caused these changes. As part of this topic, we will have a seaside day where we bring the seaside to Greenholm. This will take place on the 20th June. Children will need to come to school wearing a Victorian seaside clothing. More information to follow about this nearer the time!
Science
‘Living Things and their habitats’ During this topic we will be looking at animals and their habitats, identifying what living things need to survive and looking at microhabitats on our school site. As part of this topic we will be having a Minibeast Day on 25th April.
P.E and Uniform
Our P.E. day is Tuesday. Please ensure that your child has all the correct PE kit and it is clearly labelled with your child’s name and class.
Home-Work and Home-Readers
Just a reminder that all children need to have their home reader diaries signed with a comment in order for their books to be changed. Everyone has been brilliant with bringing their homework in on the correct days, so let’s keep it up for the final term!
