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 WANTED The Perfect Pet by Fiona Robertson. We will be developing our descriptive writing skills and use them to write persuasive letters. We will also develop our knowledge of non fiction writing within non chronological reports. During our reading lessons we will explore The Bear and Piano text by David Litchfield.
Maths
In Maths we continue to work hard on the 2, 5 and 10 times tables including division facts. The children have developed their understanding of fractions including 1/2, 1/4 and 1/3. We will be learning about equivalent fractions 1/2 = 2/4. We will also start our topic on measurements and further develop our problem solving skills.
