Year 2
Summer 1
Welcome back after Easter. We hope you have had a lovely holiday and are feeling refreshed and exited to be back at school. We have an exciting half-term ahead!
In our English lessons we will be reading The Dragon Machine by Helen Ward and The Cloud by The Fan Brothers. These texts will inspire us for our own writing, including explanations, guide books, instruction texts and our own fantasy stories. In Maths we continue our work on measures and then moving onto fractions. In Geography we will be learning about Oceans and Coasts and in Science our learning will be linked with Forest School as we learn about animals and plants that live in different habitats. Our curriculum map below outlines what we will be learning in more detail.
Please use it to refer to and to support your child.
PE and Forest School
PE will be on Wednesdays and Forest School on Thursdays. Please can children come to school in PE kit on Wednesday and bring Forest School clothes with them on Thursday.
Reading homework will continue this half term. For those on the phonic scheme, Little Wandle books will continue to be given out on a Friday and returned on Mondays, where possible. Sharing books can be changed whenever needed so please encourage your child to do so when you have finished one together. Children who are free readers can also change their books as needed each morning in class.
Please read with your child and record in their reading records as much as possible. Research shows it is a fantastic way parents can support their children at home.
Water and Snacks
Although KS1 children are provided with a fruit or vegetable snack, the children can bring their own in from home if they would prefer. Their water bottle should only have water in but the children can have another drink at lunchtime.
Best wishes,
Mrs Barber, Mrs Mundford, Mrs Mathews, Mrs Snape and Mrs Ladbrooke
As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact us via the class email or speak to
us at the beginning or end of the school day.
Best wishes,
Mrs Barber and Mrs Mundford
