Year 2 Learning in Spring Unit 4
In In this unit, the children are very excited to be reading a book illustrated by Hannah Shaw, who visited us recently. We have already been faced with The Disgusting Sandwich, written by Gareth Edwards, and composed a product description to entice the badger to eat it ... but it just might be too disgusting! The children will learn to write a set of instructions to make a perfect sandwich, sequence the main events of the story and rewrite it in their own words. In the final part of this unit they will plan and write their own stories about another disgusting food type and read it to their friends in Year 1.
In Maths, we will be exploring fractions, time and money. Children will be learning how to divide objects and numbers into equal parts, tell the time on digital and analogue clocks, and to solve problems involving money. Our scientific investigations into marvellous material will continue; we will be testing and exploring the strongest, stretchiest, and bounciest materials. In D.T. we are learning about mechanisms and will be designing a vehicle to transport visitors around Lickey Hills and can't wait to meet an engineer from Jaguar Land Rover to learn about how cars are made. In Geography, we are 'travelling' far from Lickey to compare the hot climate of Peru with the cold climate of Antarctica. The children will study the geographical features of these places and how people live in these environments.
In other curriculum areas, we will continue learn about Christianity in R.E, focusing on the Easter story; in computing the children will learn about systems and networks; we will discuss what it means to be healthy in P.S.H.E and put some of this into practice in PE. where we are focussing on invasion games (football and basketball) as well as fitness.
We are looking forward to another fun and engaging half term with your children!
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.
