Welcome back to the Summer Term! This term we will be enhancing the children's learning through the exciting theme of ‘Where the Wild Things Are’.
To find out more about the work your child will undertake this term please find key documents in the ‘files to download’ section of this page. Here you will find our Summer Termly Overview, Summer letter and key documents relating to our learning in Year 2.
English
Narrative: using the story ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ the children will write stories with imaginary settings. With a focus on the character Max and the use of his imagination to escape from reality. We will then compare this story to other stories with imaginary settings.
Non-Fiction: the children will revise instruction writing. After reading ‘Owl Babies’ and ‘The Owl who was Afraid of the Dark’ the children will write non-chronological reports about owls.
Poetry: the children will write nonsense and humorous poems, including those that use pattern and rhyme using ‘The Owl and the Pussycat’ by Edward Lear as a stimulus.
Mathematics
- Number: four operations, problem solving
- Measurement: mass, capacity, temperature
- Geometry: position and direction.
In maths the children will participate in a range of activities that will include solving mischievous maths problems set by the King of the Wild Things to test their knowledge on the four number operations; describe the position, direction and movement of the Wild Things as they play ‘dirt wars’ at the wild rumpus; and get the children to use their measuring skills to support them in planning and preparing for the wild rumpus. Please find in the 'files to download' section a document highlighting the calculation methods we use in Year 2.
P.E will take place on Wednesdays and Fridays. Please ensure your child has their PE kits available on these days, short-sleeved t-shirt and shorts for indoor P.E. Warm trousers and t-shirt with pumps or trainers for outside P.E. They will also need to ensure earrings are removed and hair is tied back.
