Year 2 Current Learning

Summer term: Has Stoke Bishop Changed for the better?

For the whole of the Summer term we will be answering the question ‘Has Stoke Bishop Changed for the better?’

 Throughout this learning we will be able to do the following:

· Use aerial photos and maps.

· Use locational and directional language

· Identify similarities and differences between life in different periods.

· Use compass directions

· Make a map with a key

We are also looking forward to our local area trips in term 5 and our Wild Place trip in Term 6.

English

We will be reading and exploring Martha Maps out by Leigh Hodgkinson  and The Big Orange Splot by Daniel Manus Pinkwater. We will write our own narratives, focusing on using a range of different types of punctuation, new vocabulary and different sentence types to make our writing more interesting. We will also continue to develop our skills to edit and improve our own writing. We will also be exploring and creating our own non-fiction writing.

Maths

In Maths this term, we will consulate our work on multiplication and division. We will also be discovering 2D and 3D shape, money and looking at different types of measurement.
