Literacy

Year 2 will be focusing on refining the basic skills of simple sentence structures. We will do this through the exploration of simple texts that children are familiar with, such as, Traditional/Fairy Tales. We will also explore Non-fiction texts through our additional topics. The children will be expanding their vocabulary by investigating different word types and putting these into their writing. We will be looking at a variety of Fiction (stories) and Non-Fiction (instructions, poetry, non-chronological reports and letters). This year will also continue the application of phonics through our ELS reading scheme. We will review the Year 1 sounds and focus on applying these to our reading and writing. We will have a focus on reinforcing the correct letter formation before progressing onto learning cursive handwriting (joining).

Maths

Our daily Maths lessons will not only teach the children how to master mathematical strategies but also give them opportunities to apply them when solving mathematical problems. We begin the term by investigating the place value of two-digit numbers and then move onto addition and subtraction, shape and multiplication and division. Throughout the term, we will also explore and practise using mental strategies to solve basic number problems involving the mathematical operations addition and subtraction.  We will be continuing to implement our daily maths program ‘Mastering Number’ which should help secure number fluency.
