What have we got in store for us this half term?
In English this half term we will be exploring the book ‘The Journey Home’. We will be zooming in on the grammar feature of sentence types and trying to incorporate these into our persuasive letter. We will also be working on our beautiful letter formation and presentation.
Our reading lessons will look the same as what they did in Year 1 and we will also be continuing with Accelerated Reader. Throughout our reading sessions, we will also be learning some new reading skills as a whole class.
Phonics and spelling will focus on recapping our phase 5 sounds and introducing phase 6 sounds. In spelling, we will be exploring other Year 2 spelling rules.
In Maths, we will be continuing our learning of place value. We will then be moving on to addition and subtraction. We will be continuing our new arithmetic sessions of counting, place value and addition and subtraction.
