Autumn Term 2026

WC: 14.09.26 - Monday - Wednesday - Mrs Barratt

Another week has flown by! We have been working so hard in Year 2. 

In Maths, we practised using a place value chart to support our understanding knowing the value of numbers. We then used this knowledge to partition numbers and show these values using base 10.

In English, we used adjectives to describe nouns from the rainforest and talked about how some adjectives don't work. We also worked on writing commands; a command is a 'bossy verb' telling someone what to do.

In Geography, we used the atlases to label the United Kingdom countries, their capital cities and the seas surrounding the UK. 

In PE on Monday, we used footballs to travel. We moved in different ways with a football and then worked on targets. We tried to throw, roll and kick the ball towards a target.

On Wednesday, we had Art with Mrs Freeman and PE with Miss Sewards.

Wow, what a start the Year 2's have had. They have taken on the challenge of Year 2 in their stride and are showing how amazing they are.

We have started our Maths unit of work - Place Value - this week and worked on counting numbers to 20 and counting objects to 100 by making 10s. Year 2 are really enjoying Maths.

In English, we have been looking at the rainforest. We have been writing sentences about what we may find in the rainforest making sure we remember our capital letters and full stops. We then used the conjunction 'and' to join our sentences together. 

In PE, we started our Games unit and how we move with the ball. We started with a tennis ball this week and moved around in different ways e.g., kicking, rolling, throwing etc.

In Geography, we started to look at the United Kingdom. We know that there are 4 countries within the UK and used an atlas to find and locate them on a map.

On Wednesday, we had Art with Mrs Freeman and PE (Gymnastics) with Miss Sewards.
