TERM 3
Our topic this term is Superheroes!
Our topic this term is Superheroes! This is an exciting topic which the children have already started exploring. We are hoping that, through the term, we will be able to learn more about different superheroes, as well as thinking about some real life heroes too!
In Literacy we will be reading a superhero story and writing a narrative. We will also be reading ‘The Giant Jam Sandwich’ and using the story to explore and write instructions.
In Maths this term we will be covering shape, money and time. We will be looking at the properties of various 2D and 3D shapes, learning to add money, combine amounts and understand change as well as learning to tell the time to the nearest quarter and 5 minutes.
In Topic we will be learning about the lives of Florence Nightingale, Amy Johnson and creating our own superheroes inspired by the artwork of Jackson Pollock.

PE
Year 2 have PE lessons twice per week. PE will always be on a Thursday and will vary on other days, from week to week. PE kits (House PE shirt, shorts and trainers or plimsolls) should therefore be in school each day. Children can also bring a tracksuit for colder conditions.
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
Toys
Just a reminder that toys should not be brought into school and should be left at home.
Fruit
In Year 2, children will continue to be provided with a piece of fruit at break time.
Stationery
The Year 2 classrooms are fully equipped with the stationery that the children will need in order to learn. However, if children wish to bring in their own pencil cases they are welcome to, they will be allowed to keep these in their book bags. We encourage children not to bring in anything to school that is valuable to them, as we cannot account for things going missing.
