Year 2

Weekly Update - Friday 21st March 2025

A Summary of our learning:

This week has been a lovely week with the sun making a welcome appearance! In maths, the children finished learning about 2D shapes where they learnt how to move shapes using language such as left, right, clockwise, anticlockwise, quarter turn and half turn. They then started learning about 3D shapes; naming them and describing their properties. In English, the children started a new unit on poetry. The children learned a poem, learnt the features of this poem and how to make longer words using the suffixes -ment, -less and -ful. In science, the children learned how to classify things as dead, alive or never alive.

Our learning after half term:

English	The children will write that own poem based on the seasons.
Spelling (whole class)	careful, playful, hopeful, badly, happily, careless
Spelling* (Mrs H’s group)	Phase 5 sounds: ie (ee) aw (or) and reviewing all sounds taught so far
Maths	The children will learn more about 3D shapes. They will learn how 3D shapes can make patterns, models, and how they can be grouped according to their properties.
Science	The children will look at the plants they planted six weeks ago to see how they have grown.
