Term 1

This term, Year 2 enjoyed their session in the Explorer Dome learning all about which habitats are most suitable for different animals around the world. We have also explored microhabitats in the school forest.

Term 3
All our learning has been around how animals stay healthy, answering our question – What keeps animals and people going? We recapped what animals need to survive then moved onto nutrition, exercise and hygiene. In literacy, we wrote our own ‘Little Red’ traditional tales and wrote a recount. In maths, we have been working hard on learning our 2, 5 and 10 times tables. In computing, children enjoyed using programming floor robots and making predictions. 

We ended the term with a day focused around being safe online and also learned to prepare fruits smoothies! 

Term 2
This term, our geography topic question was ‘How can we find out about continents and oceans?’. We learned the names of the 7 continents and 5 oceans. We also looked at the United Kingdom and some of its features. In literacy, we used the book ‘Rough-Face Girl’ to inspire our writing and we looked at similarities between this story and ‘Cinderella’. In maths, we have been working on adding and subtracting through ten with numbers up to 100. We also become experts at taking photographs in computing. Finally, we learned how to sew using a running and over stitch!
