Hello and welcome to the page for Year 2 - Sycamore Class.

You will find out lots of information about our class and what we will be learning about in Year 2.

Our Class Charter

We all came together as a class to make the charter for our class. We discussed what we thought we all needed to do to make our classroom happy and where everyone feels safe and can learn. All the children signed to say they agree.

Class Timetable

Here is our class timetable.

As you can see, we have 2 lessons of PE a week. We currently do PE Mondays and Wednesdays. Please can you ensure that PE kits are in a bag in school for those days. We also need PE kit for outdoors as well as indoor PE.
Children need to have a water bottle in school everyday. Please can ensure it has your child's name on. 

Home Learning

 We send home what words and sounds we have covered in Little Wandle during the week on a Friday. These are to reinforce at home and practise the spellings in any fun way you wish!

We send home Little Wandle reading books on a Wednesday to return on the following Monday. Please ensure you read the book at home with your child and record in the reading record. 

We will send home topic or maths homweork every two weeks. This will be linked to learning they have completed in school. You can be as creative as you like. We love to see the projects from home.

What we will be Learning. 

Autumn 1 Half Term - 'Our Town, Our Village'

Geography:

We will be learning about where we live in relation to the United Kingdom and the rest of the world. We will recap over the four countries of the UK and their capital cities. We will study globes, maps and atlases to explore where places are.

We will find out about villages, towns and cities and geographical features that are associated with them. 

Science: Animals including humans

We will be learning that animals including humans have offspring which grow into adults. We will find out about and describe the basic needs of animals including humans for survival.

We will also describe the importance for humans of exercise, eating the right amounts of different types of food and hygiene.

Maths:

This term in maths, Year 2 will be developing a strong foundation in Place Value, learning to understand and use numbers up to 100. We'll be exploring how to represent numbers in different ways, as well as comparing and ordering them. We'll also be focusing on Addition and Subtraction, building on the skills learned in Year 1 to become more confident and accurate with mental and written calculations.
