Welcome to the 2M Class Page ~ Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Maddocks and Mrs. Holmes

Term 1

This is an overview of some of the exciting work Year 2 children will be enjoying in our first term.

Literacy

This term the focus is on three areas:

• Instructions
• Poetry
• Information Text 

Children will continue with their reading books and we will send spellings home on a Monday for your children to practice. Comprehension and reading homework will be sent home each week. It is important to support your child's reading at home, just ten minutes a night can make such a difference. Please speak to the teacher if you have any questions about homework

      Mathematics

This term the focus will be:

• Number work
• Problem solving

Each week on our ‘learning together’ sheet we will provide details of the math work undertaken in class and set weekly homework (this may be a worksheet or maths game).

In Geography we will be learning all about our environment. 

In History we will be learning all about a famous historical event the 'Great Fire of London'.
