This term, we are explorers … adventuring into The Great Fire

Hello and Welcome to Year 2! In Year 2, we will learn lots of interesting and new things but more importantly have lots of fun!

This term our topic is 'The Great Fire of London'! We will be learning all about how the Great Fire of London started and why it spread so quickly. In Science we will be investigating different materials and learning about which materials are more suitable for different things. 

In English, we will be looking at the text 'The River' We will be learning how to use expanded noun phrases, punctuation, read our work back to check it makes sense and much more. 

In Maths, we will be working hard on place value, with a particular focus on tens and ones.
