Year 2 - Term 6

24/5/2019

 
​This term our unit of inquiry is ‘Families’ histories can enable people to discover cultural origins.’ We will be following different lines of inquiry to help us discover:
What is the role of the Royal family?
How are different cultures connected?
How can we find out about our family’s history?
This term, we will be using our own family trees to ask questions about our heritage, as well as looking at the Royal family and their history. Our unit of inquiry will lead onto learning about our country and finding out more about what it means to be British. We will look at our own culture, as well as looking at the range of other cultures that make up our school community.  We will also learn to identify capital cities around the world and will compare cultural traditions.

In English our primary text for the term will be ‘Katie in London’ by James Mayhew.  To begin, we will use what we have read in the book to write a character description of Katie.  We will practise using expanded noun phrases and conjunctions to describe Katie’s appearance and personality.  Leading on from this, we will be retelling and writing a newspaper report about Katie’s adventure.  We will up level our writing in these by varying our sentence openers, for example, by using ‘ly words.  After exploring British culture in unit of inquiry, we will also create a set of instructions on how to make tasty British treats.

​In maths this term, we are beginning by using mathematical vocabulary to describe position, direction and movement.  This will include movement in a straight line and distinguishing between rotation as a turn.  We will be using the words ‘clockwise’ and ‘anti-clockwise’ to describe the direction of quarter, half and three-quarter turns.  We will also revise telling the time to o’clock and half past before learning how to read quarter past and quarter to times.  We will apply this knowledge to find and compare durations of time.  Towards the end of the term, we will have a unit on ‘measurement’ where we will learn how to measure and compare mass in grams and kilograms, capacity in millilitres and litres and temperature in degrees.  We will be solving a range of problems involving measurement.
For the first week of this term, the timetable will run slightly differently due to Healthy Living Week. We have got some exciting workshops planned and the lessons to go with these will all revolve around living a healthy life style.
