Jasmine class - Year 2
Welcome to Year 2
Jasmine Class
Teachers: Mr Richards & Mrs Stevens (Wednesdays)
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 every Thursday and Friday. Children will need to bring a PE kit into school on a Thursday.
Reading: Every child will have two reading books to take home.
Reading for pleasure book - This book can be changed at any time and is chosen by your child based on their interests. It may be slightly too easy or too difficult for the children so please read this with them to support.
Little Wandle Phonics Book or Reading Group Book - This book contains the phonic sounds your child has been learning in class, and will have been read in school previously with them. Therefore they should be able to read it independently to you. This book will be given out on a Wednesday and needs to be returned every Friday.
Autumn 1:
Welcome back! We have an exciting start to Year 2!
In English, we are going to be creating character descriptions and changing the endings of familiar stories to make our own versions. Our class book for this term will be The True Story of The Three Little Pigs by Jon Scieszka. Throughout all of our writing, we will be practising the skills we have already learned and working on our handwriting and presentation to make our work even better!
In Maths, our main focus is on understanding the meaning of the digits used to write numbers up to one hundred. We will be learning to represent and partition numbers in different ways, which will help make it easier when we come to do addition calculations with those larger numbers.
In Science, we will be thinking about habitats within the United Kingdom and in other places around the world, and the ways in which animals adapt to living in those habitats.
For History, we will be taking the our understanding of Protest further, looking at the lives and actions of Alice Hawkins and Malala Yousafzai and the impact of their actions to change their communities for the better.
In Geography lessons, we will develop our understanding of where we live, extending beyond the United Kingdom to learn about continents and oceans. We will learn about climate and where the hotter and colder places are on Earth.
In Art, we will be exploring different ways of drawing and mark making. We will be using natural found objects to create Land Art, looking at the work of other Land Artists like Jon Foreman and Andy Goldsworthy.
In Music sessions, we will listen to music from different genres and think about how different styles of music can make us think and feel different things.
E-safety forms a big part of our Computing curriculum this term and we will discuss online bullying and what to do about it, as well as staying safe online and how to protect our privacy and security. We will also begin to learn how we can use a Computer for word processing.
In PSHE we will learn more about how to be a good friend, what it is like to feel lonely and what we can do to make new friends.
In RE, we will be learning about what people believe about God, humanity and the natural world.
In our PE lessons this half-term we will have PE specialist coaches on Thursdays, and we will be working on our Balance and Agility in Friday sessions.
Please see our LTP for Autumn 1 for more information. It will be an exciting end to our school year!
