Welcome to Smith's Sloths class page!
Our teacher is Mrs Smith and our teaching assistant is Mrs Simcock
This is what we will be getting up to in Year 2 in this first Autumn Term…
English
In English we will be linking our History topic of ‘Castles’ to write a persuasive piece of writing to convince someone to visit our castle that we have designed. We will then move on to writing information about dragons. In our writing we will be learning the differences between nouns, adjectives and verbs and being to use them more in our sentences with super conjunctions too!
Reading
Our Author this term is Cressida Cowell who wrote all the ‘How to train your Dragon’ books! This fits in well with our castle and dragon theme. We always read our class book at the end of the day.
Maths
In maths we will be learning all about number and place value – making sure we look at the tens and ones and whether numbers are odd or even. We will also be making a start on learning our 2 times table’s using flash cards and songs in class. We will then start to look at numbers up to 100 and begin to use them in addition and subtraction sums!
Science
We do our science lessons with Mrs Fenn and this term we will be looking at how humans grow and learning all about the human life cycle. We will also be looking at medicines and how we can stay healthy.
History
In history we will be learning all about castles and how they were used as well as learning all about William the Conqueror.
Art
In art we will be doing painting, layering, printing and collage skills all linked to Autumn!
PE
In PE we will be working on multi-skills with Accrington Stanley – have a look at the photos on our page to see what we've been up to!
Music
In music we will be using ‘Charanga’ and learning songs and recognising and understanding pitch, pulse and rhythm
RE
In RE we are asking the question 'Who made the world and everything in it?' We will be learning all about the creation story and begin understand and write our own Psalms to God.
