Welcome to Y2MN. We always try our best in everything that we do. We are proud of work.

Great Fires

Our topic this term is 'Great Fires'. This is a History based topic. We will be looking at the Great Fire of London and the Great Fire of Gateshead/Newcastle. We will look at causes and consquences of each fire and how we have a knowledge today of an event from the past. 

Our next topic will be:

Continents and Oceans

In Maths, we have focused on securing our place value knowledge and investigating different methods to add and subtract 1 and 2 digit numbers. We have been using a Maths Mastery approach to develop the learning and our problem solving skills. Below are some photos and video examples to show one of the methods we used when adding and subtracting numbers, this method is adding/subtracting using a empty number line.  We are using this a mastery approach in Maths to embed and create more depth to our learning. We have used what we have learnt towards reasoning and problem solving challenges.

Other Curriculum Areas:

In Science, we have been learning all about Plants. We have looked at plants and bulbs and what conditions these need to be able to grow.

In PE, we have been working on our Cricket and Multi-skills.

In French, we have learning commands, instructions and greetings.

In Music, we have been practicing a song called Tony Chestnut, all about body parts to the rhythm of Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes.

In Computing, we have been learning how to take photos and discussing what makes a good and bad photograph. We are now moving on to creating our own simple animations.

Our Homework:

Each half term, we ask the children to complete a range of activities from their homework grid. These tasks are a mixture of lots of lessons from throughout the curriculum and work is asked to be submitted through Seesaw.

Each week, children are asked to practice 10 spellings for our weekly quizzes on a Friday, these spellings are based on a range of spelling patterns and common exception words from the Year 2 curriculum.

Please see below our current homework grid for Autumn 1 and the Autumn terms spellings.
