    Term 6 Week 7

    We can’t believe that this is our last week in Year 2! It has been such a wonderful year and we have some fantastic activities planned for our final week as a class.

    We have got some wonderful art projects planned that link in with our ‘At Home and Abroad’ topic. We are going to design blue and white ceramic tiles which can be copied and laid in groups of 6. We are going to sketch traditional Vietnamese scenes using pencil. We are going to head into the school garden, whittle twigs, light fires and make our own charcoal. Finally, we are going to use this home-made charcoal to add detail and shading to our Vietnamese sketches.

    We will also find time to have a small in-class celebration and we will even make some homemade popcorn and watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

    What an exciting final week of Year 2!

    P.S. Don’t forget to join us for the PTFA Picnics in the Park event on Wednesday at 4:30!

    Term 6 Week 6

    This week, we are going to write a recount of our fantastic trip to the park. We have already planned out our writing using subheadings, pictures and adverbial phrases. We will now use this plan to create a complete piece of writing. If you are interested in finding our more about the specific skills we are using, please look at the colour coded success criteria in this week’s English Home Learning.

    In Maths, we are going to continue to explore measurement.

    In Science, we are going to further develop our understanding of food chains, food webs and the interdependence of living things living in the same habitat. We will also explore how we can use a Yes/No diagram to categorise animals that live in our local woodland habitat.

    We will also complete P.E., R.E., and Art and Design activities.

    Term 6 Week 3

    In the week beginning 28th June, Year 2 pupils will complete their end of Key Stage 1 SATs. While these assessments are not being administered across the country as they would be under normal circumstances, we have decided that we are still going to administer them in Year 2 this year.

    Therefore, we will spend some time this week ensuring that pupils are familiar with the test papers so they know exactly what to expect next week.

    If you have any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to contact us via the class email address.  

    In English this week, we are going to complete one final piece of narrative writing. We are going to create a storyboard and a shared piece of writing. Next, pupils will use all the narrative writing skills we have focussed on this term to create their own piece of narrative writing. In Maths, we will complete our final preparations for our Year 2 SATs. We will focus on solving division and fractions problems in both arithmetic and reasoning contexts.

    In Science, we will turn our attention towards green plants. We will learn to name the different parts of plants and explore what plants need to grow successfully.

    We will also complete R.E, P.E, and Design and Art activities.
