Welcome to Year 2

It is  summer and the weather is picking up with lots of warm, sunny days to come. Year 2 is full of beautiful, happy children who are eager to work and learn! 

This term we are going to be busy learning about Florence Nightingale and after the Whit holidays we will be looking at seaside locations.

This will include work all about the hospitals and nurses now and then , making paper lanterns, looking at hpw seaside holidays have changed over the years and what it would be like to live on the coast..  We will be looking at maps of the UK and the coast;ine.

We will also be using Google maps and drawing our own maps linked to stories.

We will be reading some exciting stories in English including, Lila and the secret of the rain, Once upon a wild wood as well as information texts about Florence Nightingale.

Our Maths has got off to a good start and we will continue to lok at times tables as well as fractions, shapes and money and time.

In Science we will be looking at Minibeasts and  plants.  This includes growing plants, labelling parts oof a pplant and looking at how plants grow and change outside.  We will be searching for and observing minibeasts outside and are hoping to have some butterflies of our own in the classroom so we can look at life cycles.

We have a super busy and exciting term ahead.
