Maths
 
This term the children will be continuing to embed their understanding of Number and Place Value and develop their number facts fluency. They will learn about division and begin to learn the division facts for the 2, 5 and 10 times tables.
 
The children will measure length and height and learn about the properties of shape. They will also start to learn about statistics.
Reading 

It is very important that your child reads every day. Please remember to sign your child’s book when you have listened to them read. Your child will be able to change their reading book weekly, once they have been able to demonstrate that they have understood what they have read. This enables the children the chance to increase their fluency and understanding of what they are reading.

The children can also take home another book of their choice from our new Year 2 Library. Please read this with your child as well.

 

This half term the children will have the opportunity to read and listen to lots of different stories. Below are some of the books they will be reading. Please encourage your child to tell you about these stories or read other books by the same author.
