Today we are going to start our new theme for this half term which we hope that you enjoy. We always love teaching this one so we hope you enjoy it too.

Please use the email: year2@abbeyroadprimary.co.uk to contact the Year 2 team and we will get back to you asap within the next working day.

Let’s find out what we are all up to today.

Guided Reading

Today we are starting a new text and Mrs Horton is asking us to use our VIPERS to predict what the story could be about, where it is set and who the characters might be. Click on the narrated powerpoint  here to find out all about it.

Spelling

Today we are learning about the next spelling pattern when we add a suffix to a root word. Today we are adding the suffix er to words that end in e. Use the ppt  here  to find out all about it.

Maths

Today we are carrying on our work with making equal groups. Mrs Marshall tells us all about it in the narrated powerpoint  here

If you are finding the task today a little bit tricky, use the powerpoint here which explains it a little bit more.

Geography

We hope you have got your passports at the ready because today we start our new topic for the half term which has a geography theme. Remember that geographers are interested in the Earth’s physical features such as mountains, deserts, rivers and oceans. They are also interested in the way that people affect and are affected by the natural world.

Mrs Phillips is going to introduce us to our new topic  here    so listen carefully and hold on tight!
