Spring Term 2

Welcome to Year 2.  Our Topic for Spring 2 is all about The Great Fire of London.  The children will read a selection of books relating to this topic this term.  We will be delving into poetry and role play to stimulate children's learning.  The Great Fire of London interlinks with our history focus for Spring 2 which is all about events beyond living memory.  Children will have the opportunity to sequence and compare events on a timeline as well as using primary and secondary sources to ask and answer questions relating to The Great Fire of London.

In Maths we will be covering a range of topics this term including fractions, time and money.  We will use different mathematical manipulatives to support children's learning.  This will involve the use of various representations such as bar models, part-part whole models and the use of physical clocks to help children as they progress with their knowledge and understanding.

In Science, children will learn about the use of everyday materials.  They will begin to understand that different materials have different properties and why these are important when creating objects.  Similarly, children will be exploring how shapes of solid objects are made from some materials through squashing, bending, twisting and stretching.

There will be lots of educational visits and special events and more information will be sent home about these.  In the meantime, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact one of the Year 2 team.  Thank you!

If you would like more information about the curriculum SPSM follows, please ask your child's class teacher.  Thank you.
