Welcome back to the Summer term,
which is the last one in the infants for our Year 2 children!
As the good weather seems to have
arrived (albeit a little later than planned), the children may now wear their
Summer uniform when they return on Tuesday
at 8.45am.
Literacy
This week, we will be completing
our information texts about Dinosaurs, but also starting a new topic of Journey
into Space. We would like the children to start to find out about Space, the
planets, rockets, astronauts etc., in preparation for some fantastic writing
opportunities and role plays that we have planned!
Maths
This
week in Maths we will be learning about place value of numbers.
Year 1
children will begin to partition 2-digit numbers into Tens
and Units; and order numbers to at least 30; say a number lying between two
numbers.
Year 2
children will begin to partition 3-digit
numbers into Hundreds, Tens and Units; and to round numbers less than 100 to
the nearest 10.
It is vital that all children really
understand the concept of place value as it is the basis for many other
important aspects of maths.

Topic
In this session
the children will read, enjoy and learn by heart, The Owl and
the Pussycat by Edward Lear. They will compose poems about space journeys based
on the same pattern, then read a range of poems with the theme of space. Create
imaginary aliens and write a counting poem about them.
