Welcome to Year 2
Summer Term in Year 2
The inspirational texts on our bookshelf will inspire our learning across the curriculum.
We will develop our understanding of our character traits through our new bookshelf texts. During our English lessons, we will continue to develop our story writing skills and consider the narrative the stories follow. We will also write a detailed recount of our school trip to Staircase House using descriptive language and historical accuracy.
Our Science will focus on ‘Growing’ where we will be exploring what animals go through when they grow. We will have our very own Butterfly Kingdom where the children will watch the caterpillars grow and change into butterflies throughout the term.
Our Maths learning this term will focus on developing our understanding of fractions, measurement and time. We will also continue to revisit strategies for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and practise these through arithmetic and problem-solving questions.
