Year 2 Weekly Review
06/05/2025
Maths – This week in Maths, we continued our learning from Year One by exploring money and coin values. We used our knowledge of counting in 2s, 5s, and 10s to count sets of coins and find the total of mixed coin sets. We then used coins to practically make different totals.
English – We had a planning week in English, where we considered all our ideas about our characters and the characteristics they possess. We then decided on a few places in London that will feature in our story. Finally, we chose the skills we will use (e.g. conjunctions, noun phrases, fronted adverbials). We brought all of this together to create a robust plan that we will refer to during independent writing time next week.
PSHE – We learnt how to keep our teeth healthy by understanding the effects of food and drink on dental hygiene and practising good brushing habits. Then we explored the importance of a balanced diet by identifying food groups and making informed choices about what we eat.
