Class 2 2023 - 2024

Mrs Edwards

 

Welcome to Class 2

 

This half-term our topic is 'Modern Monarchs'.

This half-term, Class 2 will be learning about Modern Monarchs for their History topic. Children will find out who our current monarch is and learn facts about the British Royal Family. They will learn about Queen Elizabeth II and find out about key events in her historic reign.

What can I do to support my child at home?

Talk to your child(ren) about the British Royal Family. Have you ever visited a royal residence or maybe you have met a member of the Royal Family?

Watch a documentary about King Charles:

King Charles the Coronation Year (BBC) is great.

English

All children are grouped for Phonics and for Guided Reading. Class 2 children have recently been assessed by our English Subject Leader, Mrs Adams. 

Our new book to support writing this half-term is ...

As we are learning more about The Dragon Machine every day, please resist reading ahead - even if you have a copy - as it can be difficult for children to keep their extra knowledge to themselves.

What can I do to support my child at home?

Encourage your child to read to you regularly. Your child's books should be returned every Thursday so that they can be changed and ready to come home again on Friday.

Remind your child to return their signed reading record every day to get a star for reading at home.

 

Maths

Children in Y1 and Y2 will use their mental calculation skills during Early Morning Maths as soon as they arrive at school. Y1 will calculate answers to + and - problems. Y2 will calculate answers to +, -, x and ÷ problems.

During the daily maths lesson this half term, Y1 will be learning about addition and subtraction whilst Y2 will be learning about multiplication and division.

What can I do to support my child at home?

Encourage your child to access Sumdog each week.

Y1 and Y2 will enjoy exploring number lines using this great free APP:

Y1 and Y2 love to explore the 100 square and to identify the missing numbers:

Science

We will be learning about 'Animals, including humans' this half-term. We will be finding out:

What happens to our bodies when we exercise?

What are the different food groups that humans need to eat?

What is hygiene and how can we be hygienic?

What can I do to support my child at home?

Discuss the above questions. Could your talk about the different foods that you eat - and why you eat them?
