Class 5 with Mrs Church
Welcome to Year 2!
We have an exciting half term ahead of us. We're going on another school trip! We have chosen to go to the Peak Wildlife park where the children will be able to observe animals in their habitats. Our favourite part is watching the penguins get fed!
Summer 1 2024
English
In English, we will continue to practise using capital letters and the correct punctuation correctly. We will also be focussing on improving our writing by using adjectives, adverbs and similes. We will be continuing to learn different spelling rules and using these words in our writing. The genres we will be looking at are traditional tales and writing a recount of our school trip.
Maths
In maths, we will be looking at splitting numbers and shapes into fractions. The fractions we are looking at will be halves, quarters, thirds and three quarters. We will be continuing to learn our 2, 5 and 10 times tables. We will also be looking at adding and subtracting 2 2-digit numbers.
Geography
Our Geography lessons will be ‘Why do people go on holiday to the beaches in Blackpool?’ We will revisit the different countries of the UK and look at the differences between coastal towns and Wilmslow. We will also be looking at the human and physical features of the coast.
Science
In Science we will be looking at the lifecycles of different animals and plants.
Art
There will be excitement in Art when we learn how to join pieces of material together by sewing and trying to create a wallet or a bag.
RE
In RE the children will be looking at what a community is and why it is important to different religions.
Music
In Music the children will continue to develop their ability to recognise how sounds and instruments can be used expressively and combined to create music in response to a stimulus.

In Computing we will be learning how to safely find information online and to tell an adult if something worrying or unexpected happens online.
S.M.S.C and P.S.H.E
We will be continuing with my happy mind and learning how we can use our brain to make the right choices and celebrate and appreciate other people.
