Belgravia - Year 2 2024 - 2025

Miss Zee Dempsey

Welcome to Belgravia Class; the home of Year 2! 

Our topic this term will be London’s Burning. We will be learning all about ‘The Great Fire of London’ and its effect on Britain and its population. 

In science we will observe changes across the four seasons and link to learning relating to living things and their habitats, plants and animals, including humans. We will also explore and investigate uses of everyday materials. 

In Religious Education this term we will be exploring the questions; “Why is the bible such a special book?” And “Do people of all world faiths have holy books?” 

 

Belgravia PE Sessions

This term PE will be on a Monday and Tuesday afternoon. 

 

Belgravia Outdoor Learning Session

This year Belgravia's outdoor learning will be on a Thursday. Please remember to bring your base layers to school and ensure you have wellies and waterproofs (labelled) in a separate bag. 

 

Belgravia Home Learning

Each week there will be spellings to learn and daily reading. Spellings will be available each week on your child’s EdShed. We will have a spelling test and a 10 in 10 test each Friday.

Children are expected to read every night with an adult. Children's books will be changed on a Monday when they have finished reading their current books. Each child can choose up to 4 books to take home at one time and they will be given a phonietically decodable book (if required) by their teacher.  The decodeable book should be read multiple times to help develop fluency and expression. 

If, over the course of the week, your child reads all 5 books, their reading should be supplemented with books from home. For some children reading longer books, the expectation isn't to read all 5 books and should change just those which have been completed.

Reading Records will be monitored regularly and they remain a very good way to communicate messages from home. 

Each child has access to EdShed, Bug Club and Times Tables Rockstars. Children should access one of these digital resources every day in addition to reading.
