Welcome to Year 2!
English
This half term we are primarily looking at retelling stories. We will do this using a variety of different authors and types of books. Things like fairy tales and twisted fairy tales, picture books and some chapter books. Children will practise telling the stories and using lots of new English learning to improve the story.
Maths
This half term we are studying data handling, 2D and 3D shapes and fractions. We will use lots of different resources to access these and will be making giant 3D shapes out of garden canes!
Science
This half term we will be learning about materials. We will study how different materials are used for different purposes. We will also discuss why certain materials are used and how best to recycle them.

Spellings
There will be a spelling test every Friday. The list of words to be learnt will be sent home every Friday along with the results of the previous test.
Reading
As a school we place a high value on reading at home and we have the expectation that parents/carers will read daily with their children at home. Children will bring home their reading records and a book each night but this must come back to school the next day. Due to current covid-restrictions, teachers are not able to write in children's reading records.
Talk Homework
Each week we will send home a short homework for the upcoming maths and English. This is designed to be something you can spend 5 minutes chatting about on the way home, or something you can turn into a longer piece of homework or a project. It will include a simple run-down of what we will learn and some questions for you to discuss or investigate.
