Welcome to Year 2!
Hello and welcome to Year 2!
We have a fun and busy year ahead of us where we will continue to build upon everything we have learnt so far. In addition, we will have many opportunities that will help us to grow and become more confident. We will enjoy learning new topics and learning the Year 2 Curriculum in preparation for the KS1 Assessments in May.
The following information and resources are to support you and to keep you updated on our learning journey in Year 2.

Year 2 have their PE lessons on a Tuesday and a Friday. On PE days it is expected that children come to school in their PE kit. This is a plain white t-shirt, plain blue tracksuit bottoms or shorts and plain black/white trainers or plimsolls. Children should also ensure that they do not wear earrings on PE days for health and safety reasons.

Homework is set on Google Classroom every Thursday. Maths homework is generally set on the My Maths website. Practice of the 2x, 3x, 5x and 10x tables can be done on the Times Table Rock Stars website.
Each week children will be provided with a reading and library book to support their reading at home. It is recommended that children read for at least ten minutes/day.

What are Year 2 learning this week?
This term has been full of engaging and enriching learning experiences for the children. We enjoyed a variety of activities, from visiting the local fire station to preparing for our Nativity performance.
English
The children explored the text Toby and the Great Fire of London. They developed a range of reading and writing skills and produced their own diary entries inspired by the story. As part of our learning, we also visited the Edmonton Fire Station to deepen our understanding of the historical context.
RE
Our focus this term was on prophecy and the role of a prophet. The children learned what a prophet does and reflected on key messages from Scripture. In addition, we spent significant time preparing for our Nativity, which was a wonderful success.
Maths
We worked on addition and subtraction using both one- and two-digit numbers, with and without exchange. The children have made great progress in building their confidence with these methods.
ICT
Year 2 was learning how to code with blocks on Code.org course A and B.
