Welcome to Year 2
Jasmine Class
Teacher: Mr Richards
Welcome to Jasmine Class!
Here you will find the latest updates of our work in class and any important information that you may need to help support children's learning at home.
Important Notes for Jasmine Class:
PE: This term we will have PE on a Tuesday & Thursday. Children will wear a PE kit to school on these days every week. Most lessons will begin to be held outside so please ensure children have a suitable jumper or sweatshirt, trousers and a pair of trainers.
Reading: Every child will have a reading book to take home.
This book will have been read in school previously with them and therefore they should be able to read it independently to you. This book will be given out on a Friday and needs to be returned the following Friday.
Summer 1:
It will be an exciting half-term of learning for Year 2!
In English, we will finish our study of poetry by creating our own rhyming versions of a Michael Rosen poem. Then we will look at a short film entitled 'A Cloudy Lesson'. As part of this, we will work on improving our vocabulary and retelling skills. We will also innovate our own endings.
In Maths, we start off looking at statistics and how we can collect, record and display data in different ways. This includes learning about tally charts, bar charts and tables. We will also revisit adding and subtracting using columns.
For History, we will learn all about King Richard III and why our school is named after him! Then we will study what happened at the Battle of Bosworth and why it is important in Leicester. As always, we will be developing our historical thinking skills by evaluating sources and comparing monarchs.
In DT, we will learn how to join materials by sewing. We will use running stitches to create pouches that we could store things in.
In Computing, we will continue to look at staying safe online, and how to create strong passwords to help us secure our personal information. Then we will look at how technology can help us create music.
Our PE lessons this half-term will begin by improving our running, jumping and throwing skills as part of our Athletics unit. Then we will move onto net and wall games.
In PSHE, we will learn how to keep safe in different environments and then we will learn about our different body parts and how some parts are private.
