Welcome to Year 2
We hope you all had a lovely half term. We have lots of new exciting topics this half term.
English
We will begin our half term by reading some books about Paddington Bear. Children will look at about Paddington’s new experiences and what he has learnt on each new adventure. The children will then write their own adventure for Paddington to go on. We will also look at poetry writing, and write their own Paddington poem.
Maths
We will begin by looking at fractions of 2D shapes and numbers. We will focus on quarters, halves and thirds. We will move on to look at measuring weight, length and capacity. We will finally be looking at reading and showing time on a clock.
History
What was life like in 1953?
We will look in detail at the coronation celebration of Queen Elizabeth II. We will consider how life has changed in terms of fashion, food and games. We will imagine what life is like for the Queen and write memoirs and diary entries.
R.E
Why is the Torah special?
We will learn about aspects of the Jewish faith, and consider the important role books play in Judaism. We will reflect on books that are special to us and create a list of ways to preserve and protect special books.
DT
We will be tasting a range of sandwiches for our Design Technology this term. We will be designing and making a healthy balanced alternative for Paddington Bear using our knowledge and understanding from our Science lessons.
PSHE
Healthy Me
We will be discussing ways to look after our mental and physical health.
