Incredibles 

 

 

Welcome to the Incredibles! Here you will find all of the fun learning that the Year 2 children are completing.

Let’s meet our “incredible” staff…

Miss Bailey, Miss Grocott, Miss Stubbs and Mrs Lewis

 

This page is intended to help you feel involved and informed of everything that we do.

Please take the time to explore our page where you will find lots of important information about your child's learning.

 

In our class, we encourage the children to be; 

Ready

We are always ready to learn.

We are patient and we pay attention so that we can be super learners!

Respectful 

We look after each other and the school property.

We take care in all that we do.

Safe

We listen carefully so that we are safe at all times.

We use our kind hands and we follow the instructions all of the time.

 

 

For the Spring 1 half term we will be enjoying the topic:

 

 ‘What is our school made out of?'

 

In this topic, we will be super scientists. We will be learning to identify materials, identify which materials objects are made from and why, identify the suitability of different materials, investigating which materials are waterproof, experimenting how materials can be changed and identify the properties of materials and their suitability. 

In English, we will be completing lots of fun learning activities based on the stories of ‘Traction Man’ by Mini Grey and ‘Freddies Teddies’ by Peter Melnyczuk. The children will be retelling and later innovating these stories. They will also use story maps and differentiated texts to help them write these narratives. We will be learning to plan our writing, breaking it up into beginning, middle and end, as well as correctly using their 'just do it' rules! As well as going on a journey into the world of narratives, the children will also write instructions on how to make a cupcake. We can't wait to see what the children achieve!

In Maths, our clever Mathematicians are learning about multiplication and division. The children will learn to use methods such as grouping, sharing, arrays, using a number line, and drawing pictures to help them. If you need any support with helping your child at home, please don’t hesitate to contact your child’s class teacher via Class Dojo.

This half term we will also be learning make a pouch in D&T. The children will develop their design and sewing skills.

We will also be learning about Programming Beebots and Robots. The children will be learning about algorithms and how to instruct a robot to move. They will also learn how to problem solve by debugging.
