Year 2

Weekly Update - Friday 31st January 2025

 

A Summary of our learning:

 

 

This week has been another busy week of learning. The children started a new learning journey in English. This unit focuses on diary writing and this week has seen them learning extract from Samuel Pepys’ diary (adapted by Mrs Harding!). In maths, the children have been applying their knowledge of addition and subtraction to word problems. In science, the children started a new unit which focuses on habitats. They learned that a habitat is a place where animals or plants live and it gives them everything they need to survive. They also looked closely at polar habitats, the animals and plants that live there and how they have adapted to survive.
