Class 6 – Year 2

Welcome to the learning journey for year 2.

In Maths our year will start by revising place value. The children will need to read, write and order numbers up to one thousand or ten thousand in year 2. After, place value we will concentrate on the 4 operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division). Once we have secured this we will then move onto learning about fractions, time, shape and different measurements. Throughout each Maths topic the children will complete challenge work to secure and further their knowledge.

In English, we will cover a variety of genres including recounts, reports, explanations, persuasion and narrative. We will link these genres to a hook which could be through our topic, guided reading, a class novel or a video extract. Within each unit we will cover a range of punctuation and grammar needed for the year group.

In our Geography lessons we will start by looking at the continents and oceans, before focussing on the Geography of the United Kingdom. We will develop our map skills by identifying capital cities and key landmarks. This will lead us into an in depth look at the UK’s coastlines, where we will learn about erosion and how different coastal features are formed. In the Summer term we will be investigating UK rivers, learning about the formation of a river and its journey. We will finish our Geography this year with an in depth study of one of England’s busiest cities, Liverpool.
