Our Curriculum

Our Topic

This term our topic is Chocolate. In English we will be writing a non-chronological report about where chocolate comes from and how it is made. We will learn to write a riddle and will also be writing an adventure story based on The Great Dragon Bake Off. In Maths we will be learning about multiplication and division, followed by shape and addition and subtraction of 2-digit numbers. In Science we will be learning about living things and their habitats, including exploring local habitats, micro habitats and world habitats. We will also learn about food chains, life cycles and animal babies. In History we will be learning about the history of chocolate and placing these events on a timeline. We will also learn about John Cadbury and why he is significant. In Geography we will name the world's continents and oceans, discuss features and climates and plan a journey across the world. In DT we will be designing, making and evaluating a moving vehicle.

Information for Parents

Everyday we start at 8:45am  We leave at 3:15pm

Our PE days are on Tuesday and Friday - You will need to bring your PE kit to school on those days.

Homework

Reading - Please read at least 3 times at home each week.  We are also counting how many times we read at home to get our Bronze (50 reads), Silver (100 reads) and Gold (200 reads) awards. 

Spelling - Practise spelling patterns and words you find tricky each week. Children will complete a 20 word quiz each half term based on some of the spelling patterns we have been learning.

Here are our Spring Term spelling patterns

  Try and practise writing spelling words in a sentence too as this will help you learn them. Keep practising these spellings and spelling patterns so they can be used confidently when you are writing. 

Maths - Maths homework will be set every Friday on Purple Mash. Children's log in information is in their reading diaries and you will find the homework under '2Dos'.  

Practise times tables for the 2, 5 and 10 tables. From January children will have a log in to TT Rock Stars. The link to TT Rock Stars to help you is here TT Rock Stars link

Phonics

We use the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised to plan and provide daily engaging phonics lessons.

In phonics, we teach children that the letters of the alphabet represent a different sound, that these can be used in a variety of combinations and are put together to make words. The children learn to recognise all of the different sounds and combinations that they might see when they are reading or writing.

Click here to see the list of sounds that we are consolidating.

Click here for access to phonicsplay. This is a useful website for fun phonics games.

 We teach phonics and spellings daily in Year 2. Click here to see the overview of spelling patterns for the year.

We need to spell lots of words by the end of Year 2. Click here to see them and keep practising them until you can spell them correctly in your work.

The children  have been practising applying  sounds in phonics lessons and have been reading real and alien words.  Practise sounding out these words. Click on the links below:
