In literacy we will be reading a story called 'The Magic Tree House: Adventures on the Amazon' and we will be writing our own adventure story based on this text. We will also be writing jungle poems based on 'Rumble in the jungle' and also writing jungle fact files!
In maths this term we will be covering addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, money and shape. We will be working on using mental methods to solve problems involving the four operations.
In topic the children begin to develop their understanding of the jungle and the rainforest. They will begin to identify the different layers in the rainforest, the different animals that call it home as well as learning about what we can do to protect it for future generations.

PE
Year 2 PE days are on Wednesday and Friday and children are expected to bring their PE Kit (House PE shirt, shorts and trainers or plimsolls) into school on those days and should also bring a tracksuit for colder conditions.
Swimming
If it is your child's turn to go swimming on Wednesdays, please make sure your child has their swimming kit in school on these days.
Water Bottles
In order to keep children in class as much as possible, we would encourage pupils to bring in a clear bottle of water should they want a drink during the school day. This should be named and can be kept in the classroom
