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 letters and sounds approach for phonics and use Oxford Reading Tree Scheme for Reading.
Please speak to your child’s class teacher if you would like more information about the curriculum.

Great Fire of London
This week in history we’ve been learning to use sources to ask and answer questions about the past. We looked at a range of sources about the Great Fire of London, including paintings, newspaper articles, eyewitness accounts, maps and artefacts. We really enjoyed being historians!

Wheels and axles
In D&T this half term we’re learning all about wheels and axles. Eventually we’re going to make our own buses! First we have to explore how wheel and axles work and have a go at making them stronger. We also learnt about information technology in the real world and how it can help people. We looked at how supermarkets use barcodes to easily read information and had a go at doing it ourselves!

Place value
We played a game called race to £1. We had to roll the dice, place the 1ps on our tens frame and then regroup ten 1ps for one 10p. It was really fun and great for practising place value!

Wonderful weather
We are learning about Pakistan in Geography this term. This week we learned about what the weather is like in a town called Swabi and we compared it with Watford. We made our own weather symbols so that we could create a weather forecast!
