Year 2 2020 - 2021
Miss Brake
Welcome to year 2!
Miss Brake, Mrs Witter and Mrs Johnson
Superheroes!
Who’s your favourite superhero? Spiderman? Wonder Woman? Maybe your heroes are ordinary people who’ve achieved great things. Or is it those people who save lives in our emergency services that you admire most?
Superheroes have super senses. Use yours to identify mystery items by their smell, taste, sound and touch. What do true superheroes eat to keep their senses and special powers sharp? Can we stop the dastardly plans of Professor Slime? He’s dropping his villainous instructions around town. We must stop people following them, but can we make it in time? Is that phone box free? Please excuse me – I have to save the world.
Maths
For children in year 2 it is really important that they can recall their number bonds to 10, 20 and 100. This is a really great website for practising these and for times tables later in the year.

Literacy
This half term we will be exploring the book The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark by Jill Tomlinson. We will also be using our research skills to find out about owls and other interesting animals. The children will be writing a non-chronological report all about owls.
