We are very excited to welcome our new Year 2 children on Wednesday 4th September. We hope that you have had a lovely Summer holiday with your families and are excited for what this school year has to bring. Our topic this half-term is 'Field to Fork'. We have lots of lovely things planned to support our learning that we know you will enjoy 😊.
Science
Our Science topic this half term is 'Feeding and Exercise'. Through this topic, we will be exploring the importance of exercise for humans, eating the right amounts of different types of food and hygiene. We will learn about the basic needs of animals, including humans, for survival and what humans need to live.
English
In English, our writing will link to our 'Field to Fork' topic. We will be empathising with characters from the story of 'The Little Red Hen' and 'The Windmill Farmer'. We will also be exploring the features of instructions and learning how to write instructions to follow a recipe.
Maths
In Maths this half term, we will focus on place value. We will build on our existing number knowledge. We will also be exploring ways to represent numbers to 100 using a variety of concrete materials such as bead strings and Base 10 equipment. We will also be recalling and using addition and subtraction facts fluently, using related facts up to 100.
Physical Education
Our PE day this term will be on a Tuesday morning, with Action Ants. Please ensure that your child brings their full PE kits (black shorts/tracksuit bottoms, PE t-shirt, trainers or black plimsols, all with names on each item) in a bag at the beginning of term. PE kits should remain in school and will be sent home at the end of each half term. We also use our track to do the daily mile.
Snack and milk
Children can bring a piece of fresh fruit to school each day for their morning snack, if they wish. If packaging is required, please send it in a reusable box with your child's name on. All children will also be offered a piece of fruit every afternoon and those who pay for milk using the online service will continue to receive this each morning.
It is important that all children have their own water bottle in school every day (water only please, no juice 😀). Please ensure your child has suncream applied before school on warmer days and brings a (named) sun hat to school if possible.

Reading:📖
We read every day in Year 2 and will change our reading books in school each week. Children are heard read individually through guided reading sessions once a week. Being heard read and being read to at home is equally as important, to help develop children's vocabulary and aid their comprehension skills. So, try to read a bedtime story every night too when you can 📚🦉.
Maths:
Children will be given their Doodle logins this half term, which will be stuck into inside the front cover of their reading journals. Try to use Doodle as often as you can manage at home. Little and often is best. If you need a reminder of your login details, please speak to us or contact us through the school office.
Homework:
At Robert Ferguson we encourage the skills of independence, creative thinking, planning and presentation skills. Each half term, we will send home a homework grid with a choice of activities linked to our topic for your child to complete. If you need any help with homework or have any questions you can email us or speak to your teacher. When your homework is complete, bring it into school so we can celebrate your amazing work and effort! Homework can also be emailed to the school office.
