Mr Ahmed's update
12 Sep 2025
Welcome back! The children have settled into year 2 really well and we are excited for the year ahead!
English
This week we have started a new book called Little People, Big Dreams: Neil Armstrong. The children have been learning to identify features of a diary. We first focused on using first-person perspective and chronological order, We also learnt to write sentences to show thoughts and feelings.
Maths
This week the children have been continuing to learn numbers within 100. They have been learning to partition numbers up to 100, and read and write them in numerals and digits. Below are some interactive games that can consolidate your child's understanding of numbers up to 100. If your child was still working towards the expected standard in Maths at the end of Year 1, you may want to focus on numbers up to 50 until they are confident.

Topic
In History this week, the children have been learning about what makes a person significant in history. We learned about 4 significant figures and the things they did that made them memorable - for good reasons and sometimes not so good reasons! In Science, the children have been introduced to their first topic which is Animals including Humans. The children will be learning about life cycles and what living creatures need to survive.
