Writing

This half term we will be using the book ‘The Last Wolf’ by Mini Grey to inspire our writing. It is an environmental, modern reimagining of Little Red Riding Hood where a brave Little Red sets out to find the last wolf, discovering that the Last Wolf, Bear and Lynx are living in a tree, struggling with habitat loss.

Children will write a letter including the following features:

  • Use subordination (if, that)

  • Add -er and -est to adjectives

  • Use homophones and near homophones

  • Use punctuation correctly - apostrophes for contracted forms

Maths

This term in Maths, Year 2 will be exploring time. Children will develop their understanding of time by comparing and sequencing intervals, telling and writing the time to the nearest five minutes (including quarter past and quarter to), and drawing the hands on a clock face to match given times. They also learn key time facts, including the number of minutes in an hour and hours in a day.

RE

We will be starting our new unit ‘To The Ends of The Earth’. We will be focusing on the development of the early Church following the Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus. We primarily explore the Pentecost, the role of the Holy Spirit in empowering the apostles, and the mission of the Church to share the Gospel worldwide

In History, we will be learning about Seaside Holidays in the past and linking this to New Brighton’s local history.

In Science, we will be looking at Life Cycles of humans and different animals.

In DT, we will be creating our own felt hand puppets.

In PE, children will be doing Athletics focusing on jumping, running, throwing, agility, teamwork and communication.

Things to remember

Our PE days will be on a Monday and Friday. Children need to come into school wearing their correct PE uniform.

Please make sure your child brings their book bag in each day so their book can be changed. We will be reading with your child throughout the week.

Children need to bring a labelled water bottle in each day.
