Year 2 Spellings
October update
Another busy month in Year 2 and despite having the half term break we’ve managed to cram lots of learning into October.
In maths we continued to learn addition and subtraction strategies. We learnt how to deal with unfriendly numbers and rename if necessary when subtracting to get the correct answer supported by our jottings. We’ve also had a lot of fun beginning some work looking at gathering, handing and presenting statistics.
Here’s a link to a fabulous online tool which really clearly shows tallies, pictograms and block charts in action.

In literacy we have continued the ‘Super Shropshire’ theme
Our focus has been looking at the physical and human features of Ironbridge. We will be writing a setting description, once we have been on our learning walk to use our field work and observational skills.
This terms planned spelling units are units 3 and 4.
Unit 3_4 spellings for October update
In science we have completed our learning for this year on ‘Living things and their habitats’ Examining how and why animals are adapted to where they live and food chains within these habitats and microhabitats.
In computing we have learnt how to use all parts of the ‘chrome music lab’ and we are now experts in creating digital music.
If you want to have a go yourself here’s a link to the music lab;

In music we have been thinking back to our year one learning, what do we know and remember about how to play the recorder. It’s only taken a short while to refresh our memories and we have been playing along to a backing track to show off our skills playing the notes B, A and C.
In PE we have moved onto a unit of ‘sending and receiving’ in outdoor PE working on refining our ball skills. Inside on a Tuesday we have started a new dance unit using our gestures and expression to communicate our ideas through movement.
In personal development we’ve completed our work on keeping safe, thinking about who keeps us safe in school, who to go to if we feel unsafe, online safety and safety in the community.
Year 2 Autumn term overview
Welcome back and to Year 2.

This is the Year 2 spelling program for the first 2 units of work as well as the common exception words for Year 2.
Year 2 – What we are learning about this week. W/C 1st Feb
This week in literacy we turn our attention to study a different historical event – The Plague. We will spend the week researching and finding out as much as we can. This often reveals gruesome and horrid facts, the children love this aspect of the learning! In maths we continue to look at measure, this week measuring capacity. We will also end the week on Friday with a whole day focussing on our mental health and wellbeing. So very important at this present time. Please see class dojo for more detail.
