Focus on Learning

Stage 2 - Miss Meg Humphrey

Welcome back to Term 2! Stage 2 has had a fantastic start to the term, and we are looking forward to what this term has to offer.

Mathematics

We are starting a new topic all about 2D shapes. Think of circles, squares, triangles, rectangles, trapeziums and more – we will be learning what makes them special and how to spot them. This will be a nice change and a bit of a break after working hard on subtraction for the last few weeks.

English/ Science and Technology

So far this term, our writing lessons have taken us on an exciting journey to Space! We are learning all about our solar system – the Sun, the planets, and even the Moon. This is exciting because it connects directly to our Science and Technology lessons, where we are looking in-depth at the relationship between the Earth and the Sun. 

We have been reading interesting facts and writing about what we discover. In our paragraphs, we are focusing on writing using a burger structure (Topic sentence - Top Bun, Supporting Sentences - Filling, Concluding sentence - Bottom Bun). I was impressed with the information your children wrote last week during our "Big Write" time. They put in great effort!
