We’re excited to begin the summer term with our exciting curriculum in Year 2!
PE
Year 2 will have PE on Friday mornings. Please send your child to school in their PE kit and ensure they bring their school uniform in a separate bag to change into afterwards.
English
We’re diving into more fabulous books this term! Our English lessons begin with a biography from the inspiring ‘Little People, BIG DREAMS’ series, where we’ll explore the remarkable life of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing.
Next, we’ll enjoy the humorous children’s classic ‘The Diary of a Killer Cat’, giving Year 2 a chance to discover their comedic voices through reading and writing.
Maths
This term, we’ll focus on learning to tell the time. Help your child get ready by talking about the timings of their daily routines. Can they tell the time to the nearest 5 minutes? You could ask questions like, “If you’re on Mathletics for 20 minutes, what time will you finish?”
History
In History, we’ll be learning about three remarkable women who transformed modern nursing: Florence Nightingale, Mary Seacole, and Edith Cavell. Their stories will help us understand courage, compassion, and resilience.
Art
We’ll be getting creative by designing and making headdresses inspired by Takaya Hanayuishi, known for his stunning floral headpiece art.
Science
Our Science topic this term is Materials. Keep an eye on our website and newsletter to see the exciting experiments and discoveries Year 2 will be making!
Music
Music lessons with Ms Pryce continue every Tuesday afternoon, bringing rhythm and melody to our week.
We are so proud of how far the children have come and are thrilled to be guiding them through this final, special full term of Key Stage 1. Thank you for your continued support—we’re looking forward to a fantastic term ahead!
