Welcome to Year 2's Class Page!
Each half-term, this class page will be updated with information regarding our learning in school.
English
In English this half-term we will begin by using 'Toys Then and Now' by The Literacy Company. Through this non-fiction text, we will write instructions and letters.

We will then read 'Major Glad, Major Dizzy' by Jan Oke and use this text to inspire our own letters and diary entries.

Maths
In Maths, we will continue to use Maths No Problem, White Rose Maths and NCETM to structure our progress. This half-term, we will focus on 2D and 3D Shapes before moving on to addition and subtraction word problems.
