Year 2 Project

 

How would we survive the Great Fire of London now? 

 

 

In English

This term we will be exploring traditional tales with a twist. The text we will focus on is ‘The Wolf’s Story’ written by Toby Forward. We will also look at the book ‘Vlad and the Great Fire of London’ by Kate Cunningham.

 

In Maths

We will be continuing with addition and subtraction before moving on to Shape. Children will be identifying, recognising and sort 2D and 3D shapes.

 

In History

We will be studying the Great Fire of London and will learn how and why it happened. We will also research Samuel Pepys and how he is associated with the Great Fire.

 

In Science

We will be identifying and comparing a variety of everyday materials. We will experiment with and classify materials to determine which are most suitable for specific purposes.

 

In RE

This term we will be answering the question- What is the good news Christians believe Jesus shared with Christians?

 

In DT

In DT we will create moving cards for our Christmas fair. We will also be designing, making and evaluating our own fruit kebabs.

Medium Term Plans

 

Medium term plan Autumn A - Why is it marvellous to be me?

Medium Term plan Autumn B - How would we survive the Great Fire of London now? 

PE

Children have PE every Monday. They will have an indoor PE lesson and an outdoor PE lesson. Please ensure that your child comes to school on Mondays wearing their  PE kit. School PE kit is a plain white t-shirt, black leggings or jogging bottoms (shorts can be worn in the Summer) and plain black trainers. A zipped up hoodie can also be worn in the colder months to keep the children warm. 

 

Homework

Children are expected to practise reading their reading book for ten minutes every day. A parent or carer will need to sign their reading record once they have listened to their child read. Children will be given weekly spellings each Friday and they will need to learn these spellings for their spelling test which will take place the following Friday. Children will also be given Maths tasks to complete on the internet. 

 

Reading

Reading is a life skill, so it is so important that your child reads on a daily basis. Please make sure that your child reads every single night. Encourage them to read a variety of different books. Record how they read in their reading records.

*Ask your child questions about the book e.g.

-Can you predict what will happen next?

-Can you describe how the character might be feeling?

-Can you summarise the key points in the story?

-Is this fiction or non-fiction? How do you know?

 Reading books must be in school every day so that their progress can be monitored and their name moved up the class reading tree, the children will also need to read during the day. 

 

Maths

-Encourage your child to practice times tables at home.

-Ask your child mental maths questions as often as possible e.g. when you are sitting in the car/ walking to school/ sitting  together at home. You could ask them additions, subtractions, doubles etc.

-Ask any siblings if they can remember a maths game that they played in school and encourage them to play together to make maths fun.
