Year 2

We are thrilled to welcome our new Year Two's and look forward to another fabulous year of learning.

We have started our first topics, Owls and Master Makers and the children have been enthusiastically learning about their class owls, their habitats and similarities and differences.

We have been using the text, 'The Three Little Pigs' to help us to learn how stories are organised, their key features and how we can ensure our sentences describe people or places. We will also be using the text, 'The True Story of The Three Little Pigs' to help us us understand that stories can be written from another character's point of view. 

In Maths, we have started learning about place value of digits in two digit numbers and will be exploring different ways of partitioning number, We will be practising counting in 2's, 5's and 10's and learning our number bonds to 10 and 20. 

Over the next few weeks, in Science, we will be learning all about materials and investigating their properties and purposes. 

In Geography, we will be learning about maps symbols, keys and directions.

To support our topic, we will be exploring the sculptures around Woking as part of our school's annual Welly Walk. 

A big thank you to everyone for supporting the children in their early stages of preparing for a new school year. Please support the children by double checking that all uniform is clearly labelled and ensuring that they have a light raincoat in school every day. 

Please also encourage daily reading and record the names of the books that your child reads with you  in their diaries.
