Knights and tiaras

 

Castles

 

It’s time to explore castles! We will be learning all about the features of a castle, how and why castles were built and what life was like for those living inside their walls. 

 
 

Marvellous Maths!

Children will complete work on addition and subtraction this half-term.  They will learn several different strategies to add and subtract and apply these to reasoning and problem-solving questions.

 

We will also be exploring the properties of 2D and 3D shape, which will include recognising and naming a range of shapes and sorting them according to their properties.  The children will identify sides, vertices and lines of symmetry of 2D shapes and edges, vertices and faces of 3D shapes.

 

  • 1-minute maths This FREE app is fantastic to develop children's fluency. It follows the 'White Rose' scheme which we use in school and will complement learning perfectly!
  • TT Rockstars Remember to practise your 2,5 and 10 times tables using your TT Rockstars username and password.
  • Nrich challenges If your child needs an extra stretch, try some of these problems aimed at Year 2 children.
  • Topmarks maths games There are lots of maths games here, arranged by topic. Have a go at some of them!

Exciting English!

 

Please use the links below to find guides to Phase 6 phonics that your child will be studying at the moment. There are other helpful links to support reading and comprehension at home.  

Jigsaw - 'Celebrating Difference'

We will understand how to celebrate the differences that exist in our classroom and our school. The children will be exploring stereotypes and standing up for what is right. 

  • Health for Kids This is a wonderful website that is useful for both your child, and for you as a parent. It has games and information about feelings, health, illnesses and sections on body image, mental health and much more. There is also a section for you, the parent, to refer to for information on the school nurse and it shows local Solihull support services.
