Welcome to Year 2
 |

 |
In the first term, our subject topic has an English focus. We will be fully immersing ourselves in the fiction book, ‘The Day The Crayons Quit’ by Drew Daywalt and Oliver Jeffers, which contains a series of letters from some very irate crayons. The children will develop their letter writing skills and will be writing humorous letters from the perspectives of classroom objects. The children will also be accessing a range of letters and postcards during Guided Reading sessions to develop their understanding further.
As the children are returning from the long summer break, we will be integrating revision activities of prior learning and mindfulness, as well as introducing new learning.
Our Big Idea this term is Freedom of Speech - we will be using stories to exemplify this and talk about why this is important and how we encourage this at school.
The subject topics (TBC) for the rest of the year are:
- As If By Magic!
- Lego
- Fire Fire!
- Vicious Vikings
- Habitats of the World
