Year 2

Welcome to Year 2

Mrs Morley and Miss Shaw make up the Year 2 team

Autumn Term 2024

English

In English we will be focusing on the story Hodgeheg by Dick King- Smith. This links closely to our Science unit on habitats and is a lovely story about a hedgehog who faces the dilemma of how to get to the other side of a busy road to reach the park. Children will write their own stories based on this idea using accurately sequenced sentences punctuated with capital letters and full stops, accurate letter formation and size, and descriptive language to engage the reader.

Maths

In Maths we will be focusing on reading and writing numbers 10 to 100. We will be learning to estimate multiples of ten on a 0-100 number line and applying our known facts from within 0-10 to add and subtract in multiples of ten. The children will also learn to add three addends efficiently by various methods and to calculate the difference between two numbers. We will be using our maths learning in our Geography and Science lessons this term to help us explore our area and local habitats.

Theme

This half term, our Geography focus is on Hyde and what it is like to live there.  We will start by exploring the boroughs that make up Greater Manchester before focusing in on Tameside and then Hyde. We will explore the physical and human features of Hyde and later in the term we will take part in a Geographical field trip to Hyde.
