Year 2 Theme: Great Fire of London |
Week beginning: 30th November |
|
English |
We are reading Traction Man by Mini Grey. We will be sequencing part of the story and predicting the next scene. For our writing task, we will be writing a sequel to Traction Man! |
|
Maths |
We will be continuing our money topic! We will be working on making the same total with different coins and comparing amounts. |
|
Topic |
We are learning about the Great of Fire London. We will be asking, ‘How Do We Know About the Great Fire?’ We will look at Samuel Pepys and his eye-witness account of the fire through his diary. |
|
Homework |
Please complete the ordering money sheet to support our topic in school. If possible, give children the responsibility of counting the coins and paying in a shop (where possible in COVID times!) Using and talking about money in real life contexts would support children’s learning in school. Please complete the handwriting sheet with the children’s weekly spellings on. Please also learn these spellings for the Friday quiz. Knowledge Organisers •Every half term we will send home knowledge organisers for foundation subjects. These are to help with your child’s retrieval of knowledge e.g specific dates and key words. By learning the key facts at home and in school, the knowledge will become part of your child’s long term memory. •The knowledge organisers contain core knowledge which is essential for progress in each subject area. •Students are required to learn the key parts of the knowledge organiser and they will have a fun quiz at the end of the half term to see how much knowledge they have retained! •Please use the knowledge organisers to have discussions with your child about their topics and also to help them remember the information. One helpful method could be ‘look, cover, write, check’. You will show your child one small part of the knowledge organiser, discuss it, memorise it, cover it, they will practise recording it and then you can check the answer together! |
