In Maths we have been focusing on place value! We have learnt how to identify tens and ones and have shown these various representations, our favourite has been using the dienes. We enjoyed playing a game called ‘Trash Can’ Maths were we had to focus on making the biggest number possible using a dice. We have just started to look at using number lines and estimating what we think the missing number could be. We are going to be moving on to counting in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s soon!

Autumn term in Year 2
Science
In science we have been using our superhero skills to look at how we can stay healthy. We cover topics such as exercise, hygiene, eating and our basic human needs. Using our powers of prediction and concluding we carry out fair test that relate to our topic.
History
History looks at real life heroes, we are learning about Martin Luther King and The Suffragettes. To many these people were the superheroes of their time and can still be classed as this now. We are learning what they have accomplished through looking at different sources and reflecting in class.
Art
Art’s focus is portraits, we are using different mediums to create portraits and self-portraits. We will be using skills such as shading and cross hatching to create tone and definition in our work. We will be creating a portrait of one of our own heroes.
PSHE
In PSHE we are looking at the broad topic of Being me in my world, this will consist of subjects such as our rights and responsibilities, listening and sharing with others, how we can help to make the classroom a safe place and understanding consequences of our choices through discussion and group work.
RE
The big step question in RE is ‘What do my senses tell me about the world of religion and belief?’ we delve deep into this topic through our discussions, activities and group work looking at three main religions (Christianity, Judaism and Hinduism) and what light means to those religions. Using this knowledge to reflect on what light means to ourselves and our thoughts on the views of these religions.
