Welcome to Year 2. The children are in their final year of the Infants School and will be working with more independence as they continue to progress academically.
We follow the Twinkl validated SSP for phonics.

Growing & observing beans
We have been growing and observing beans in Science. We put 4 broad beans in different environments and have been observing the effects that these environments have had on the beans. We have noticed that a broad bean is able to grow in the dark!

Amazing algorithms
We have been using beebots to create and test algorithms! We’ve learned that an algorithm is a sequence of instructions. We programmed our beebots to follow a set of instructions and tried to get it to a particular spot on our map. Then we tested it to see if we were right!

Magic multiplication
We have started learning about multiplication in maths this week. We have been focusing on making equal groups, counting in multiples and linking repeated addition (2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 16) to multiplication (8 x 2 = 16). Using cubes makes this really visual!
