Our topic this half-term is called 'The Jolly Postman'. Through this topic, we will be revisiting some of our favourite traditional tales.
Science
Our Science topic this half term is 'Living Things'. We will explore and compare the differences between things that are living, dead and things that have never been alive. We will be learning about animals, including humans, have offspring which grow into adults.
English
In English, we will be writing a letter to a fairy tale character. We will also write a description of our favourite traditional tale characters. We will re-tell a traditional tale and write our own alternative endings.
Maths
In Maths this half term, we will begin to explore fractions. We will recognise, find, name and write simple fractions. We will also tell and write the time to the nearest five minutes.
Physical Education
Our PE day this term will be on a Thursday morning. We will develop basic tactics in simple team games. Please ensure that your child brings their full PE kits (black shorts/tracksuit bottoms, PE t-shirt, trainers or black plimsols, all with names on each item) in a bag at the beginning of term. PE kits should remain in school and will be sent home at the end of each half term. We also use our track to do the daily mile.
Snack and milk
Children can bring a piece of fresh fruit to school each day for their morning snack, if they wish. If packaging is required, please send it in a reusable box with your child's name on. All children will also be offered a piece of fruit every afternoon and those who pay for milk using the online service will continue to receive this each morning.
It is important that all children have their own water bottle in school every day (water only please, no juice 😀). Please ensure your child has suncream applied before school on warmer days and brings a (named) sun hat to school if possible.

Reading:📖
We read every day in Year 2 and will change our reading books in school each week. Children are heard read individually through guided reading sessions once a week. Being heard read and being read to at home is equally as important, to help develop children's vocabulary and aid their comprehension skills. So, try to read a bedtime story every night too when you can 📚🦉.
Maths:
Children have their Doodle logins stuck into inside the front cover of their reading journals. Try to use Doodle as often as you can manage at home. Little and often is best. If you need a reminder of your login details, please send us a message. We will send home login details for Times Table Rockstars this half term. Although will not cover multiplication until the Spring Term, the children are welcome to have a go at practising their 10 times tables on Times Table Rockstars if they wish at home.
Homework:
At Robert Ferguson we encourage the skills of independence, creative thinking, planning and presentation skills. Each half term, we will send home a homework grid with a choice of activities linked to our topic for your child to complete. If you need any help with homework or have any questions you can email us or speak to your teacher. When your homework is complete, bring it into school so we can celebrate your amazing work and effort! Homework can also be emailed to us at year2@rferguson.cumbria.sch.uk.
