Year 2

Weekly Update - Friday 20th December 2024

 

A Summary of our learning:

 

 

Wow what a week and just like that your children have completed their first term in Year 2. But don't worry- it's not all been Christmas this week and the children have still completed some excellent work. In maths, the children have been learning about mass. They learned that heavy things are weighed in kilograms while lighter objects are measured in grams. In English, the children finished writing their story. In science, the children loved learning about sustainability. They learned about how plastics can be categorised into single-use plastic or multi-use plastic. They learned how plastic can be both helpful and harmful. They also looked at how we can reduce our plastic waste as well as recycling.

 

 

 Our learning next week:

 

 

English

In English, the children will learn a new talk story based on Mrs Armitage’s wheels by Quentin Blake. They will understand the toolkit for cumulative story. They will then learn more about how apostrophes are used (for contractions and for possession).
