Year 2: Term 2 Week 2

TOPIC: Roots and Routes
We will be covering the following work in Numeracy, Literacy, Science and Social Studies.
Numeracy

This week is the first week we are

learning about time. Some Maths groups
will start off with fractions and move on
to half past and quarter past/to. All groups
will learn oclock.
Maths homework will be sent out on
Sunday. Children are expected to bring it
back on Thursday. Encourage them to
complete it over the week, not on one
day.
These are some useful websites you can
use to support your child at home:

Literacy

Children will go to their new RWInc

teachers this week. The names of their
new teachers are in their diaries. Our
classes are now streamed with Year 1
classes. Therefore some children have
RWInc lessons with Year 1 teachers.
Spelling words will be sent out on
Sundays. Children will have the spelling
test on Thursdays. Please encourage them
to practise spelling words and sentences
every day of the week.
These are some useful reading and
comprehension websites you can use at

Science

Social Studies

We are still learning about Plants. This

week the children will look at the stages
of plants growth (how plants develop
from seeds to flowers). They will also talk
about how and why plants are important
for humans.

This week children will learn how to read

Weather forecast. They will be
encouraged to use different symbols to
show different types of weather (e.g. sun
for sunny, cloud for cloudy etc.). We will
also learn what it means when we say
partly cloudy/sunny.
There will be Social Studies homework
sent out on Monday. Children will have to
complete page 23 in the book that will be
sent home. They need to observe the
weather over the week and record it by
using different symbols. This homework
needs to be completed by next Sunday.
