Year 2

Weekly Update - Friday 20th June 2025

A Summary of our learning:

The children enjoyed their second transition morning this week in the sun. In English, the children were writing their own voyage and return story. They loved learning about more stories that fit this genre (such as Snail and the Whale and Stickman) and incorporated these ideas in their own stories. In maths, the children learnt more about volume. They learnt that volume is measured in litres and millilitres. They learnt to read scales and compared amounts in different containers. In science, the children did a longer piece of writing about the lifecycle of a butterfly.

Our learning after half term:

Maths	The children will learn how to answer word problems linked to volume.
English	The children will learn a new talk story based on The Great Kapok Tree by Lynne Cherry.
Spelling	Stencil, nostril, pupil, pencil, fossil, evil, sail, soil
Spelling (Mrs H’s group)	Revision of phase 5 sounds
Science	The children will be comparing the lifecycles of different animals by answering the question- “are all lifecycles the same?”
