Welcome to Year 2!

This half term in year 2, we will be reading the fictional text 'Einstein the Penguin’ By Iona Rangely. We will also be reading non-fiction texts 'Living Underground' and Safari. As well as exploring poetry. 

In English we are going to be writing a setting description for the alternative traditional tale 'Goldilocks and just one bear' by Leigh Hodgkinson and a recount of the story. We will also be writing the story of 'The Bear and the Piano'. In our writing we will be using exclamation sentences and a variety of conjunctions and suffixes to expand our knowledge of sentence structure. 

In science, we will be learning about living things and their habitats. The children will learn to explore and compare the differences between things that are living, dead and things that have never been alive. We will also identify that most living things live in habitats to which they are suited and describe how different habitats provide the basic needs of different kinds of animals and plans and how they depend of eachother. We will be exploring this by taking part in a habitat workshop at the Lion Salt Works Museum on Tuesday 13th May.
