Year 2 Learning in Autumn Unit 1
For Autumn Unit 1 we are going back in time to find out what life was like for children and their families in Victorian times and comparing it with now. We’re so excited to find out what learning was like in a Victorian school amongst other things on our trip to the Black Country Living Museum. We begin the year reading and writing about The Lonely Beast by Chris Judge and consolidating and building on our Y1 knowledge of addition and subtraction. In science we join Darwin on his voyage aboard The Beagle to explore different habitats found on the seven continents of the world. The rest of our curriculum is looking as exciting as ever, including studying still life art art by Fede Galizia and exploring how to create depth with tone and different shading techniques. In PE we are developing our ball skills to control a ball whilst rolling, kicking and dribbling and we will be continuing to extend our knowledge of religion and what is means to be Muslim. Lastly, we will be learning about a Brazilian composer, Heitor Villa-Lobos, and composing our own train ride.
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.
Please make sure children wear their PE kits for our sporting activities: we have Games and PE and on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Tuesdays PE 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.
