Year 2

Welcome to Year 2!

Mrs Harness, Mrs Green, Mrs Liu and Year 2 are excited to welcome you to our class page. You can use the links on the right-hand side of this page to find out more about what we are learning in Year 2.

Reading at home:

  • Please ensure you listen to your child read each night at home and sign their reading record.
  • Reading to an adult is important as it gives children a chance to practise and to improve their reading skills.
  • Your support with reading at home is essential and only by working together can we ensure your child achieves their full potential as a reader.

Geography – Let’s Explore our world!

We begin our first Advent term with a geography based topic called ‘Let’s Explore’. During this topic, the children will be learning how to read atlases, maps and cardinal compass points. They will learn about the equator and discover why different places are hot, temperate or cold as well as comparing them.  

 

Science – Habitats

In this topic, we will learn about habitats and what a habitat needs to provide. The children will explore local habitats to identify and name living things and begin to understand how they depend on one another for food and shelter. We explore ways in which animals can adapt to their habitat and experiment through camouflage and why an animal may be suitable and adapted to one habitat compared to another.
