Welcome back, Foxes!
Welcome back, Foxes! I hope you and all of your families have had a restful half-term break and are ready to get back learning!
Our Autumn 2 topic is ‘After Dark'. We will be reading The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark by Jill Tomlinson and our writing will focus on persuasiveness as a theme, including letter writing as a genre. In Maths, we will consolidate Autumn 1's learning on Place Value, Addition and Subtraction, and begin to look at Money as our measurement unit, and Multiplication and Division. In Topic, this half-term will include opportunities in Science to consolidate habitats and things that are living and non-living, as well as introduce food chains and partake in some exciting practical investigations. In RE we will explore the question: Why does Christmas matter to Christians?
All Year 2 children successfully settled back in to school life brilliantly in Autumn 1. this half-term is still very much about consolidating this and making sure their health and wellbeing is of paramount importance. Therefore, we may still revisit many areas of the Year 1 and 2 curriculum's as part of our Phoenix curriculum to make sure we are all 'Stronger, Smarter and More Powerful' in our life and learning.
