Birch Class (Year 2)
Welcome to Year 2
You have all worked so hard in Year 2 since starting, and I am very proud of you all.
We have practised counting to and from 100 in Maths, worked on our phonic sounds and written lots of ideas for our animal poem based on the story of Rumble in the Jungle.
Reminders
Your PE days are Tuesday and Wednesday. Please wear kit on these days.
Home Learning will be set on Google classroom every Friday. Please take a look and complete the tasks.
I can’t wait for another fabulous week next week!
Well done everyone.

Year 2 so far...... Sept 2025
Year 2 have been working amazingly hard in all lessons.
This is what we have been learning:
Maths - counting numbers to and from 100, partitioning numbers into tens and ones e.g. 4 tens and 3 ones = 43, placing numbers on a number line and comparing numbers.
English - we have written poems, looked at using our senses relating to the seasons, wrote a non-chronological report about The Seasons and we have worked very hard on our reading, writing, handwriting skills and spellings.
Science - we have very much enjoyed looking at materials, their properties and which ones were best to use for certain purposes and why. We then created an investigation, made our own boats out of junk and we are soon to test these. We will then conclude our investigation to see what we found to be the best materials.
This is just a snippet of the many things we learn in Year 2.
Keep up the great work everyone!

Year 2 have been working very hard this week to learn about Significant Women in English and History. They have also enjoyed counting number bonds to make 20 and 100 in Maths. In Computing, we learnt to log in with our new personalised details, use a mouse carefully, type on a keyword and even how to copy and paste images into a Word document. We had lots of fun with this. Well done for working so hard this week Year 2!

Welcome to Autumn term 2.
This term we'll be working hard to learn our times tables, particularly recapping x 2, 5 and 10. We will be developing our adding and subtracting skills. In English we will create an acrostic Christmas poem for the Palmer's poetry competition, write a description of the north and South Pole and write a narrative on a fabulous story!
This term is all about making a fabulous nativity play and learning songs for our Christmas show. The children have been working very hard of this, well done everyone.
Here are some photos of them in action so far...
Year 2 had a great time making a delicious salad as part of their DT work. They learnt to peel, chop and concoct a delicious salad. Thank you to everyone who joined us.
Well done Year 2!
