Welcome to Year 2
In Year 2 our teacher is Mrs McIntyre and our Teaching Assistant is Mrs Hayton. We love working together, trying our best and being creative. In Year 2 and across Horndale, we use dojo points to help us celebrate our achievements. Some of us are also lucky enough to be picked for the School Council where we have lots of important jobs to complete in school.
In Year 2 and across Horndale, we celebrate our achievements and publish work via Seesaw. Mrs Oughton will send your child’s code home with them.
This term we will be focusing on Colour where we will look at different artists like Georges Seurat and Piet Mondrian. We will also be looking at materials in Science and how these are suitable to be different objects. We will be looking into using paint tools in Computing and thinking about how we belong in RE. In addition, we will be learning all about the United Kingdom in Geography, the different countries and capital cities and its surrounding seas. Our English texts this term are: The Day the Crayons Quit, Traction Man and the Queen’s Hat. In Maths we will be concentrating on number and place value, including counting forwards and backwards before moving on to addition and subtraction.
In the second half term, we will be looking at life in the Victorian era in History and making our own balanced meals in DT. As well as this, we will be learning what living things need to be healthy. In Maths we will continue looking at number and calculations, including multiplication and division before moving on to shape.
We have all settled back into school really well and we are looking forward to sharing some of our super work with you.
