Year 2 2025
Welcome to Year 2
Mrs Morley and Miss Akhtar make up the Year 2 team
Autumn Term 2026
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 calculations within 20 as well as addition and subtraction of two digit numbers. We will then look at introducing multiplication. In the second half of the Autumn term we will further explore this aspect by recognising repeated addition and representing them with their multiplication equations.
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. In the second half of the term we will be looking at Emmeline Pankhurst in our history work.
Science
In the first half of the term we will be looking at Living things and their habitats. We will then turn to look at living things and microhabitats.
