Believe and Achieve
Welcome to Year 2
We have a very exciting and busy term ahead of us with a class assembly, Key Stage One Christmas show and a visit to our local synagogue.
In English, we will be studying a selection of narratives and poetry. We will be building our sentence structure, vocabulary and punctuation and continuing to work on our phonics skills.
Reading is very important and it would be greatly appreciated if you could please support your child at home to read regularly. Please ask questions about the text to help build their comprehension skills.
In Maths, we are building our knowledge of place value and using resources to 'understand' a number. We will also secure our knowledge of addition and subtraction as well as applying these skills in context.
In Science, our topic is 'Materials'. We will be exploring different materials, objects and their properties.
In Geography, we are learning about 'Continents and Oceans'. We will find out where we are in the world, identify the seven continents and the five oceans. We will begin to identify physical and human features and locate these on a world map.
We also have exciting trips and experience days ahead of us which we will share in detail shortly.
At Meryfield, we have an open door policy so if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to speak with us.
