Year 2
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.

P.E
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/Home Reading
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.
All homework should be completed and returned by Tuesday. Homework set on Google Classroom should be handwritten and completed in the homework books provided.

What are Year 2 learning this week?
English
Using their imaginations, the children wrote their own story of a child’s journey in a floating bubble.
Maths
The children have been applying their understanding of data and have made tally charts linked to the European Football Championships. Some children independently decided to create tally charts for the General Election too!
Science
In Science, the children have been observing seeds and plants. They have carried out investigations and know what conditions are needed for seed to germinate. They have learnt about the structure of a pea seed.
RE
During RE, the children have learnt about the message within the story of ‘The Good Samaritan’. They created their own role-plays to show how they could show empathy and care for others, using the story as a stimulus.
Art
We have been busy learning about print this term. We had the chance to explore print through Japanese culture and got the chance to see and wear kimonos for ourselves. We also went to the Young V&A and also had the chance to learn about forms of print such as 3D print and find out how we all have individual finger prints.
Computing
In Computing, we have learnt about some of the things you can do with spreadsheets and have also been making music on the computer.
