Year 2 (Honeygold) 2024 - 2025
Mr Anwar
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Welcome to the Year 2 class page.
I hope you're all well! As we move into the autumn term in, I'd like to share what we will be focusing on in class.
Maths: This term, we will be learning about place value, as well as the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division). These are key concepts that will build a strong foundation in maths for the children.
Reading and Writing: In literacy, we will be exploring a variety of books and texts to help the children gain a better understanding of different genres and writing styles. This will help develop their comprehension and writing skills.
Science: In science, the children will be learning about the human life cycle, exploring the stages of growth and development. We will also focus on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle, discussing important topics such as nutrition, exercise, and overall well-being.
History: Our history lessons will be focused on learning about Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks, discussing the significant changes they brought to society and their lasting impact.
Design and Technology (DT): The children will also have a chance to practice their cooking skills as we work towards making sandwiches in DT. This hands-on activity is always a fun and engaging way for them to learn.
PE: PE will take place on Tuesday and Thursday and will include a range of sports and physical activities. Please ensure your child wears their PE kit on these days.
Homework: Homework will be handed out every Friday and is expected to be returned by Tuesday. Additionally, daily reading at home will be hugely beneficial to your child’s progress.
Handwriting: Handwriting is a key focus for us this year. I would greatly appreciate it if you could encourage and support your child in practicing their handwriting at home.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
What makes our class unique:
- We have a warm and welcoming environment where children feel safe and supported to learn.
- We use a variety of teaching methods to keep children engaged and motivated.
- We offer a variety of enrichment activities to help children explore their interests and talents.
We are looking for children who are:
- eager to learn
- curious and ask questions
- willing to work hard
- kind and respectful of others
We believe that all children can learn, and we are committed to providing each child with the best possible education. We are excited to work with your child and help them reach their full potential.
