Year 2 Learning in Spring Unit 1
For Spring, unit 3, year 2 are becoming explorers. In history we are studying the lives of significant historical figures (Mary Anning and Neil Armstrong) to determine what they did and the impact it had. This is complemented by our two English texts, Amelia Earhart by Maria Vegara and Look Up! By Nathan Bryon, which will inspire our writing to inform (a recount of Amelia’s life) and writing to entertain with character descriptions of Rocket, a space-crazed chatterbox!
In science we are exploring everyday materials through experimentation to determine their useful properties and to discover which materials can change shape by squashing, bending, stretching and twisting. Our ‘hands on’ learning continues in maths where we are measuring length, height and mass using rulers and scales. The rest of our curriculum is looking as exciting as ever, in art we are looking at the Renaissance and will be recreating Leonardo da Vinci’s famous portrait. In P.E. children will be building strength, flexibility coordination and balance through yoga and we will be continuing to extend our knowledge of religion and the good news of forgiveness, peace and love that Christians believe Jesus brings. Lastly, we will be learning about another pioneer, a Mediaeval composer, Hildegard of Bingen.
We’re looking forward to all the exciting learning and adventures ahead!
Spellings will be sent out on Mondays to practice at home before the tests on the following Monday. Current spellings can be found online on the link to the right. Maths fluency questions are set on Wednesday and due back by the following Monday. On a Wednesday evening your child will be sent home with both their spelling test book and their maths home learning book so you can see how your child is progressing. We also strongly encourage the children to read at least three times a week at home and reading books will be changed every Thursday.
Please make sure children wear their PE kits for our sporting activities: we have Games on Tuesdays and PE on Wednesdays. Tuesdays Games lessons will be outdoors (weather permitting) and you may wish to consider your child having a tracksuit for the day. This must be PLAIN navy please. Please make sure all earrings are removed or covered with tape before school on these days.
