Summer 1
25.4.25
What a fantastic first week back we’ve had in Y2 – it's been full of exciting learning!
Writing: the children have started exploring our new key text Rabbit and Bear. They've been working hard on writing both statement and question sentences, and we’ve had lots of fun discovering fascinating facts about bears in preparation for our upcoming non-fiction writing next week. Ask your child what they’ve learned – you might be surprised by their bear knowledge!
Maths: we’ve continued our focus on length, solving a range of addition and subtraction problems using measurements. To support your child at home, it would be really helpful to practise adding and subtracting two-digit numbers using a number line. This will help reinforce their understanding and build confidence.
History: we’ve started learning about World War I. The children have shown a great interest in understanding why wars are significant historical events and how they impact people's lives.
Science: we’ve started a new topic: Living Things and Their Habitats. This week, we focused on identifying things that are living, dead, or have never been alive. The children enjoyed exploring and sorting different objects, and asked some brilliant questions along the way!
In PE with Mr. Tanner, the children have been working on their athletics skills as we prepare for Sports Day.
Well done to all our learners for such a positive and productive first week back – we’re looking forward to building on everything we’ve started. As always, thank you for your continued support at home.
