Welcome to Willow Class. This Class contains Year 2 children only and is part of Key Stage 1.
Please check this page regularly to see updates of what we are learning.

We will teach the skills of reading, writing and spelling throughout our topic of Who am I? We will be developing our writing to include skills expected of Year 2 children including additional description, more sophisticated sentence structure and improved cursive handwriting. We will also be beginning to learn spelling rules through our spelling programme, No Nonsense Spelling.
We will be practising our skills by reading and writing adventure stories, using Talk 4 Writing techniques, as well as exploring traditional poems such as Please Mrs Butler!
Science
We will be focusing on living things and their habitats this half term. We will be learning about where animals live and what they need to live healthy lives. We will be comparing animals, and their habitats as well as how they are suited to live in these places.
Art
We will be using our creative skills to explore, design and make a collage linked to our topic. We will be learning about an artist who created collages of cities and towns, before creating our own version of their work.
Computing
Our topic will be focused on coding, and as always we will be developing our knowledge of e-safety.
Mathematics
In Mathematics, we will be working to secure our understanding of the four operations, developing mental and written methods for completion as well as completing tasks in the area of shape, space, measures, money and fractions. We will also be focusing on learning our 2, 3, 5 and 10 times tables. We will be practising our counting and making sure our place value knowledge is secure.
This half term, we will be focusing on a very special book, the Bible. We will be thinking about why the Bible is so special to Christians and we will be exploring the stories within the Bible, and we will be re-telling these stories in a variety of different ways.
