Week beginning 17th June

We will be writing our own police reports before moving onto our new key text: The Fisherman and His Wife. Thank you for reading this with your children over the half term; it will really benefit our learning.

Maths

We will be recapping money (finding different combinations to make the same amount and problem solving), recapping time and problem solving with fractions.

Art

We are hoping to link our work on hot and cold colours to geography and will be looking at hot and cold countries in relation to the equator.

Geography / science

We will be consolidating our understanding of habitats around the world using maps with different animals on them. For example, your children should now know that a polar bear cannot live in a desert habitat and why.

Science

We will be exploring the Arctic habitat. We will also be looking at how humans can keep healthy e.g diet, hygiene and exercise.

PE

We are going to be making the most of the good weather this term. We will be doing ball skills with tennis/ basketball and skipping.

Important information

There will be a special visitor in Year 2 on Friday. Please check the blog again next week for more information!
