Spring 2
Reading
Children will have a reading book chosen by themselves appropriate to their reading level. Accompanying these books are their reading diaries, where you can write comments on their reading daily. Your child will also be given many opportunities throughout the week to read a variety of texts. The children also choose a book from our reading corner.
PPA Time
Miss Wilson is out of class on a Monday afternoon.
During this time the children have Religious Education with and PE with Mr Caldecott.
Class Novel
Homework
In Year 2, children will be focusing on reading their reading book at least three times a week. We will be sending some homework books home later in the term.
Spellings
Weekly spellings will be every Friday. You should practise these throughout the week, ready to be tested on these on the following Friday Morning.
As Mathematicians
We will read and measure lengths in cm and m. We will use this understanding to order lengths from greatest to least and apply our knowledge to solving problems. We will build on our skills of adding and subtracting using concrete materials and jottings. We will look at 2D shapes and their lines of symmetry. We will recognize, name and find quarters of objects, lengths and quantities. We will then use our understanding of quarters to describe positional language. Finally we will consolidate telling the time to o’clock, half past and quarter to the hour. We will then begin to tell the time to 5 minute intervals.
.
In English
In English we will continue our work on The Owl who is Afraid of the Dark. We will apply our key skills to write our own innovated chapter. Our non-fiction text will be persuasive writing. We will sue our learning about birds to persuade people to visit a bird wetland centre- Martin Mere.
PE
PE will take place every Monday and
Thursday. PE kits are to remain in school.
SNACK
It is important to note your child can bring a healthy snack at break times such as fruit or vegetables and milk. We also encourage your child to bring water to drink in class throughout the day, but they may bring something else to drink with their packed lunch.
The pupils can bring their own bottle of water each day.

We have been looking at non fiction books all about birds. In particular, we have been learning about birds of prey.

Art
We experimented with a variety of media. We revisited some of the painting skills in year one and created our own multi-media pictures inspired by the work of the artist Yinka Ilora. We used a variety of techniques, inc. weaving, and dyeing, fabric crayons and wax to decorate different materials. We created joyful, colourful and fun art on our own pencil cases.
