Welcome to Year 2 - Pine

Mrs Willer

Year 2 have started a new book in Literacy. We have been reading The Water Protectors. The class have been using conjunctions to extend their sentences. They have been writing facts about sea creatures and the tribe from the text.

In Maths, we have been looking at shapes. The children have been identifying 2D and 3D shapes and exploring their properties. They have counted vertices and sides of 2D shapes and then faces of 3D shapes. The children have enjoyed building shapes with lollipop sticks and peg boards. They have also been looking at lines of symmetry and completing shapes based on vertical lines of symmetry.

In Geography, the class have been developing map skills. We have completed map work using a compass. The class have had to find cities using directions. They have also used a map key to identify features on a map.

In Science, we have been researching animals and what they eat. We have used this information to build food chains.

Over the next couple of weeks, we will be learning:

• Literacy: Water Protectors – editing our writing
• Maths: Sorting 2D and 3D shapes
• Geography: Collecting data
• Science: Identifying plants and animals in a habitat
