Spring Term message from Miss Grove:

Welcome back and Happy New Year! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas break and are feeling refreshed for the Spring Term in Year 2.

This term, Year 2 have lots of exciting learning to look forward to across the curriculum. In Geography, we will be exploring coastal regions and their features.  In Science, we will be looking at different uses of materials, specifically looking at what makes them suitable for certain purposes.

Reading remains a key focus in Year 2, and we will continue to build confidence, fluency and comprehension through shared texts, guided reading and daily practice. We will also enjoy exploring a range of stories and non-fiction books together.

In Maths, we will be developing our understanding of multiplication and division, whilst building fluency with calculations and continuing to practise number facts regularly. Our English lessons will be based around engaging texts that will inspire the children’s writing and creativity.

You will find our Knowledge Organisers linked below, which outline the key learning for the Spring Term across subjects including Geography, Science, Music, RE and PE.

I’m really looking forward to another positive and productive term of learning together in Year 2! 

Thank you for your support,

Miss Grove

Planting in the Polytunnel

Posted: Mar 22, 2024 by: K Warburton (K.Warburton) on: Year 2 Blog

 

It was wonderful to have lots of our parents and carers with us for Wonderful Wednesday this week to celebrate Science in Year 2! We spent the afternoon being 'green fingered' and planted two types of seedling. Our investigation was all about finding out what plants need to grow and survive. We placed our seedlings in four different environments: in the dark with no water, in the dark with water, in light with no water and in light with water. The children will observe which conditions the seedlings grow most healthily in. We can't wait to see them in bloom!
