Year 2 2024 - 2025

Welcome to the Summer Term 2025

Miss Hadfield - Robin Class. Mrs Dean will teach Robin Class on a Thursday afternoon.

Mrs Heywood - Sparrow Class. Miss Frith will teach Sparrow Class on a Thursday morning. 

Mrs Goode, Mrs Martin, Mrs Buckley and Mrs Drake also work and support in Year 2.

Our topic for this term is 'Our World'.

This term in Year 2, our exciting topic is Our World! We’ll be exploring the amazing variety of life on Earth, discovering different places around the globe, and making connections across our learning.

In Science, we’ll be learning all about plants and living things. We'll explore different habitats, finding out how animals and plants are suited to the places they live. We'll also be investigating what plants need to grow and thrive.

Our English work will be closely linked to our topic through the book ‘The Last Wolf’. We’ll use this story to inspire our writing, exploring themes of the environment, nature, and the importance of looking after our world. 

In Geography, we’ll take a journey around the world! We’ll be learning to name and locate the seven continents and five oceans, and we’ll be finding out more about Mauritius, comparing it to our local area of Hartford. We’ll look at similarities and differences in weather, landscapes, and daily life.

In Maths, we’ll be diving into fractions, learning to recognise and find halves, quarters, and thirds. We’ll also be developing our time-telling skills, learning to read the time to the hour, half hour, and beyond.

It’s going to be a fun-filled, fascinating term as we discover more about Our World together! 🌎✨

Please see our Curriculum Overview on the website for more detail on all subjects.  

Homework

Our priority for homework is reading in Year 2. We ask you to ensure your child reads at least three times a week. Your child will also continue to receive weekly spelling homework.

Every child has access to a Numbots and TTRS login which they can access from home. We also suggest using the ‘1-minute maths’ app (White Rose Maths). Both of these will help your child further develop their number fluency. The 'Maths Frame' website is also useful for exciting games to encourage practising addition and subtraction.  https://whiterosemaths.com/1-minute-maths.    https://mathsframe.co.uk/

PE Days

Robin Class - Thursdays and Fridays.

Sparrow Class - Mondays and Fridays.

Please come to school in PE kits on those days. Please ensure your child comes appropriately dressed for these lessons, particularly in the winter as outdoor sessions still take place. We request that no jewellery is worn in school and on PE days we ask that your child has any earrings covered or taken out.

Celebration Assemblies

Celebration assemblies will be on Fridays at 9am, every third week. You will get a message from school if your child is receiving an award in assembly.
