MATHEMATICS
Measurement: Money - We will start with recognising coins and notes. Then counting money in pence (p), pounds (£) in coins and notes and then mixed pounds and pence. We will learn to select money to make different amounts and compare amounts. Finally, we will find totals, find the difference and find the change both in simple one step problems and in more complex two-step word problems. Number- Multiplication and Division - We will learn to make equal groups, calculate mathematical statements for multiplication and division within the multiplication tables including 2’s. 5’s and 10’s and write them using the multiplication (x), division (÷) and equals (=) sign. Solve problems involving multiplication and division, using materials, arrays, repeated addition, mental methods and multiplication and division facts, including problems in different contexts. Measurement: Length and height- We will begin by comparing different lengths and heights. Then we will measure in centimetres (cm) and metres (m). We will learn to compare and order different lengths and heights. Finally, we will use the four operations with lengths to solve word problems. Measurement: Mass, capacity and temperature- We will learn to measure mass (kg/g); temperature (°C); capacity (litres/ml) to the nearest appropriate unit, using rulers, scales, thermometers and measuring vessels. Next we will compare and order lengths, mass, volume/capacity and record the results using >, < and =.
SCIENCE We will retrieve our learning from Year 1 about Plants and Animals and living things. We will use this to expand our knowledge by learning about the difference between seeds and bulbs, germination and good conditions for growth. We will then revisit our previous learning about Materials and their properties. We will learn why different objects are made from certain materials, ensuring they are fit for purpose.
ART AND DESIGN
Drawing: We will learn that the surface drawn on will create different effects. We will be able to use a range of mark makers to create a variety of effects which are dependent on the surface on which they are placed. Painting: We will learn that colour and line can be used to show mood, movement and feelings. We will be able to select colours and painting tools and make painted marks to express feelings.
COMPUTING Our main theme will be ‘sequencing, loops and events’. We will learn how to translate movements, how to identify and locate bugs in a program and when a loop can be used to simplify a repetitive movement. We will be using Code.org and Scratch Junior to create a sprite and background, and use coding blocks to animate the character to tell a short story. We will also be developing our use of iPads and technology throughout a range of lessons.
MUSIC Throughout this term, students will have the opportunity to compose music for stories. They will begin by playing instruments to set the scene and will work towards composing music to accompany different stories.
MORAL EDUCATION After reviewing and updating our MELS provision, we have successfully implemented our new Jigsaw scheme of work alongside teaching the School Code of Conduct, School Values, emotional literacy through ‘Little Spot of Emotion’, Restorative Justice and Moral Education. In the second term, the main topics will include: Dreams and Goals (strengths, goals, teamwork) and Healthy Me (healthy eating, relaxation, safety).
PHYSICAL EDUCATION This term, the children will be preparing for their sports day. For their PE lessons, they will be taking part in Athletics and practicing all the events that they will be doing on the day. They will experience a range of running, jumping, and throwing activities. Ball Games will focus on the Children’s throwing and catching skills, working as a team, and developing their ability to pass and move into space. For swimming, the children will continue to focus on their stroke development for freestyle and backstroke.
SPANISH In Term 2, we revise colours and are introduced to animals and the concept of masculine and feminine. All lessons contain games, songs and fun activities. There may even be guest appearances from Bruno the bull, our Spanish assistant.
HELPING HOME You can help your child at home in many ways. By using Seesaw, you will be able to keep up to date with the latest class and Year Group information. Hearing your child read is also very important. In Year 2 we will look in particular at reading comprehension, so please talk to your child about what they have read.
HUMANITIES Our main focus will be a comparison study between London and Abu Dhabi. We will learn about the physical and human features of both and discuss the similarities and differences.
