Welcome to Year 2!
Hello from Mrs Harness and Mrs Liu
Please find the links to the left that can help you with different information throughout the school year.
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.
We will use this page to keep you up to date with all the exciting things we have been doing in our class!

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.
