Year 2
Yellow Class
Teacher: Miss Skues
Knowledge Organisers
Each term, we produce a knowledge organiser to explain the key areas of the topic we will be focusing on. A knowledge organiser is a document that contains key facts and information that children need to have a basic knowledge and understanding of a topic.
Most knowledge organisers will include:
- the essential facts about the topic, usually laid out in easily digestible chunks
- key vocabulary or technical terms and their meaning
This term, our question is geography-based: 'Does everyone in the world have the same lifestyle?' and we will compare life in the UK with life in villages and cities in Kenya. Our Key Text, 'Lila and the Secret of Rain' by David Conway will help us understand everyday life in Kenyan villages and the importance of rain and water to all living things. In Science, we will be investigating materials and their properties as well as exploring why different materials are used for different purposes. For our RE sessions, we will be looking at 'Who is Muslim and how do they live?' and identifying some of the key beliefs and practices of Islam.
Year 2 PE takes place on THURSDAY afternoons.
Homework
Please remember to hear your child read daily – it makes such a difference to your child’s reading.
You can also come into the Year 2 class at the end of every day to read with your child.
