Autumn Term message from Miss Grove:

A Warm Welcome to Year 2!

Hello and a big welcome back after the summer holidays! I hope you all had a wonderful rest and are ready for an exciting Autumn Term in Year 2.

This term, Year 2 have some fascinating topics ahead of them. In History, we’ll be learning out about significant people from the past and how they have shaped the world we live in today. In Science, we’ll begin by exploring Habitats and the amazing places where animals live.

Reading is a really important part of Year 2 and central to children’s learning. We’ll continue to build on the skills developed in Year 1 and enjoy a wide variety of books together.

In Maths, we’ll focus on Place Value, and practice number facts daily. Our English lessons will take us on exciting adventures with two fantastic texts: Wolves and Jim and the Beanstalk.

You’ll also find our Knowledge Organisers linked below. These give an overview of the key learning for this term in subjects including History, Science, Art, RE and PE.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch—I’m always happy to help.

Here’s to a brilliant year of learning, exploring and growing together in Year 2!

Thank you for your support,

Miss Grove

A Royal Afternoon

Posted: Jul 14, 2024 by: year2 teacher (K.Warburton) on: Year 2 Blog

Year 2 had lots of royalty in their classroom this week! The children all dressed up as Kings and Queens, ready for our visit from our local Historian. He visited Y2 to teach us all about monarchs. The children learned so many facts about King Henry VIII, Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II. Did you know, King Henry VIII's favourite sport was jousting? Did you know that when Queen Elizabeth II was coronated, people in London used periscopes to peer over the crowds so they could see the Queen passing by? The children were lucky enough to look at and handle lots of these artefacts made by Mr Worrell, including a periscope, old wooden football boots and a jousting game. What an exciting afternoon we had!
