2H & 2GH

We have reached our final half-term in Year 2! Summer 2 will take the children on a journey around the globe! Our Geography unit of ‘What a Wonderful World’ looks at famous landmarks and the modern Wonders of the World. We will consider the role we play in keeping our world wonderful using a variety of texts and drawing on knowledge from previous topics.

In English, our new text will be ‘Grandad’s Secret Giant’. We aim to give the children the tools they will need to create their own version of the story with a focus on morals and acceptance of others.

Our maths focus will be statistics, looking at ways in which we gather and record data. Children will learn how to draw and interpret tally charts, tables, block diagrams and pictograms.

Our PE days this half-term remain as Monday and Friday – every child will be required to have their PE kits in school in a named bag. These will be kept in school until the end of the half term when they will be sent home for washing. Each child will participate in PE on Monday and 2H will take part in a coach-led session on Friday.

Summer 2 = 2GH - P.E. – Monday and Friday

2H – P.E. - Monday

As part of the UK curriculum objectives we also provide our children with an invaluable Forest School experience that also takes place on a Friday - so ENSURE your child has 'Wellies' and suitable outdoor clothes on - fitting to the weather - a full body rain suit is provided to go over the children's clothes too. 

Summer 2 = 2H - Forest School – Friday

You will see below 'Star Folders' which will provide more detailed information about what we will studying each half term, with the relevant Homework Grid, Knowledge Organiser and Termly Curriculum Overview. Links are also provided to support you and your child to get the most out of their classroom learning whilst at home. 

 If you have any questions or stumble upon any good resources that you use at home, please let us know and we can share them on the class page. 

Enjoy exploring and thank you.
