3. Curriculum English We take a creative, book led approach to Literacy and encourage the children to explore their ideas through lots of speaking and listening and drama activities. Over the year we will cover a wide range of fiction and non fiction text types beginning this term with narrative writing. Guided reading and phonics lessons will continue on a daily basis in Year 2. Maths As in Year 1, there’s still a lot of practical and visual learning in maths, using real- life situations children can relate to. The children are learning to think about the methods they use to solve problems, and to check if they are correct. The way the children will record their work will become more formal. They will start to work with logic problems and solving maths problems mentally. Our theme for this half term is Fire and we have lots of exciting learning planned in all areas of the curriculum.
