Dear Parents / Carers and Year 2 children,

We would like to welcome you back to school after the Christmas break. As a team we are really looking forward to another exciting half term.

Please feel free to come and speak with us with any questions, suggestions or concerns- we are always willing to listen and help in any way we can.

All the best,

Miss Madigan, Mrs McGregor, Mrs Sloan and the rest of the Year 2 team.

Our Topic this half term is:

Coastline

Geography

This project teaches children about the physical and human features of coastal regions across the United Kingdom, including a detailed exploration of the coastal town of Whitby, in Yorkshire.

This project teaches children about making and strengthening structures, including different ways of joining materials.

Science

This project teaches children about the growth of plants from seeds and bulbs. They observe the growth of plants firsthand, recording changes over time and identifying what plants need to grow and stay healthy.

In PE the children will be doing a unit called ‘Jump, Shape, Create’ which will develop their ability to use their bodies as creative tools, making shapes both individually and as a group. Children will explore different ways of moving that will involve jumping and landing.

RSHE

In RSHE we will be learning about how to keep safe in different environments, including risk and safety in the home and making an emergency call.

Computing

In this project children will be using a computer to create music and they will listen to a variety of pieces of music and consider how music can make them think and feel. They will also compare creating music digitally and non-digitally.

In RE our focus is ‘Which books and stories are important?’. The children will learn about how the Bible is a special book for Christians, the Torah is a special book for Jewish people, the Guru Granth Sahib is a special book for Sikhs and the Qur’an is a special book for Muslims.

General

We will be using Seesaw as our online learning platform for homework as well as any wow moments we would like to share. We also ask that you, as parents, share things with us too. The children love to share their photos with the class. The log in details will be sent home ASAP. We like to use this site daily so please check regularly for updates of your child’s learning. We usually send a text if there is something exciting to look at.

Please do feel free to say hello and get to know us and we look forward to getting to know yourself and your child over the next few weeks.
