PE is on a Tuesday and a Thursday. Please send your child to school with suitable PE clothes in a bag on this day (joggers, t-shirt, jumper and trainers). The children will need to get changed in school. Their PE kit can stay in school and will be brought home on a Thursday for washing.
Our Curriculum:
Autumn Term 1:
Over the next few weeks we are going to be learning lots of very exciting things! Here are some of the main topics which we will be focusing on:
English: In English we are going to be looking at characters and writing character descriptions using descriptive language. We will be looking at how stories are written and writing our own stories. We will look at writing letters and postcards. We will be basing our writing on the story 'Man on the Moon: A Day in the Life of Bob’ by Simon Bartram.
Maths: We are going to be looking at numbers and place value. We will be working on addition and subtraction.
Science: We will be learning about animals including humans, where they live and what they need to stay alive. We will be finding out what an experiment is and how we can conduct one.
History: We will be learning about Florence Nightingale and why she was important.
Geography: We will be learning to name and locate the world’s seven continents and five oceans. We will be looking at maps and atlases.
In addition to all these exciting things we will be doing PE, Music, PSHE, RE and Art!
Please see our Long-Term Plan for Year 2 for more information.
