Year 2
Welcome to Year Two!
This half term we will be journeying to Antarctica! We will be learning about some of the explorers who have tried to lead expeditions across the continent and what happened to them. We will be using what we find out about Antarctica to write non-chronological reports and persuasive arguments. Our Maths learning this half term will be focusing on developing our understanding of the four operations of number and the strategies we can use to solve a range of number problems.
To support your child's learning in Maths at home:
- The 2, 5, 10 and 3 times tables and related division facts

Please read with them every night, taking time to discuss what the story was about. Books from the library, other story books, picture books, newspapers, magazines and comics are all excellent reading materials and also provide children with the opportunity to experience different ways of writing and sharing information and also provides an alternative to their school reading book.

Titanic Passengers
We used the Chatterpix app to record some of our ideas about how we thought our passenger would be feeling about travelling on the Titanic,
