Year 2

Weekly Update - Friday 12th September 2025

A Summary of our learning:

Year 2 have had a great start to the school year. It has been wonderful to see how well the children have settled into their new classes and routines.

This week, we explored a mackerel in Science. We identified its gills, tail, fin and scales.

In English, we learnt our talk story ‘The adventures of Sinbad’ and focused on different sentence types and noun phrases.

In Maths, we have been looking at place value of number up to 100 and comparing those numbers.

Our learning next week:

Maths	We will be exploring adding numbers without renaming and adding tens by recognising the relationship to adding ones.
English	We will be writing our own versions of our adventure narrative “The adventures of Sinbad”. We will be changing the problem and Sinbad’s new home.
Reading	Your children will continue to read with an adult in their reading groups. We will inform you when we start to introduce whole class reading lessons.

Foundation:

In Geography, we will be learning to locate the poles.

In Art, we will be turning our map drawings into 3D artwork.

In Computing, we will be learning about how technology is controlled.

In PSHE, we will be learning about rights and responsibilities.
In RE, we will be recalling parts of a story where Jesus spoke about kindness.

In Science, we will be learning about reptiles and amphibians.

In PE, we will be doing Dance: Secret Garden and Football with the PE Coaches.

Homework:

Maths

Maths homework will be sent home every Friday and can be handed in from the Monday.

Spelling

Please continue to practise the weekly spelling words at home in whichever way your child finds most useful.

Notices & Reminders:

Just a reminder that we encourage the children to not bring any toys into school, as we don’t want these going missing, or distracting our learning. Thank you for your support with this!

We would be grateful for donations of cardboard, newspaper and scrap paper for our Art projects.

Thank you for your continued support,

Mrs Hodgson, Mrs Thornton- Brown, Mrs Harding, Mrs Offer.
