Year 2
Spring 2
In science we have been enjoying learning about the life cycle of plants and what plants need to grow. We have planted broad beans and are observing how they grow in different conditions.
We also made the most of the recent sunshine and drew labelled diagrams on the playground to show what we have learned.
Hopefully everyone has had a restful half term and feeling well and ready to return to school!
Our new school timetable and curriculum map can be found below. They outline what we will be learning in year 2 this half term. Please use them to refer to and to support your child. In history, we are learning about Castles, Kings and Queens - we are looking forward to our Castle trip on the 9th March! In science, we will be learning about Plants and what they need to grow.
PE days will continue to be Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Some useful websites to support the children for this half term:
Maths
English
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,
