Welcome to Year 2! Our two classes are 2H and 2WH. The children in 2H are taught by Mrs Houghton, Mrs Nowacki, Mrs Kane and Mr Haden. The children in 2WH are taught by Mrs Huston, Mrs Williams and Mrs Breakwell.
In Year 2, we love learning and discovering new things. During our day, we enjoy sharing stories, working as a team and exploring and expanding our learning.
As the oldest children in KS1, we know how important it is to model good behaviour to all.
In English, we will be exploring ‘Meerkat Mail’ by Emily Gravett and ‘The Snail and the Whale’ by Julia Donaldson. We will be expanding our skills around retelling stories as well as developing our ability to write to inform. During Reading lessons we are working on The Great Paper Caper by Oliver Jeffers and Traction Man and Turbodog by Minnie Grey.
Maths
In Maths we are working hard on the 2. 5 and 10x tables and division facts. We are learning about fractions this term, including a half, a quarter and a third of shapes, amounts and numbers.
