Year 2 Parent Knowledge Organiser Pack 2024 2025
Year 2 enjoyed teepee building using knot tying and square lashing. Then used team work to play tarp flipping and pass the hula hoop around the circle. Finally they were asked to investigate how to make a paper ball hard enough to knock a stack of tin cans over.
'Animal Kingdom' homework project ideas
Mya came dressed as a character from her own book (that she authored last half term).
She came as a unicorn from her book 'The Jealous Creatures'.
She received a Headteacher sticker from Mr Churchill and a book from the vending machine from Mrs Lloyd- Christie.
Well done Mya!
Year 2 have become incredible authors, and their books are now officially published at Rossmore Library! Come and see their amazing work— grab their own copy and take it home to enjoy!
'Animal Kingdom' quiz - due in 10.2.25
Year 2 have now been given the responsibility of borrowing books from our KS1 Library! They are very excited about the fact there is a scanner and they can do it themselves. Happy reading Year 2!
This week in Year 2 English, we had a fabulous time writing our autobiographies! The children learned to use contractions and we explored the works of Julia Donaldson, discussing her life and work to inspire our own.
They have also been having great fun learning about equal groups and arrays in maths to support their times table knowledge.

On Friday, Year 2 had a brilliant adventure walking to the library! They were thrilled to learn they’ll be authors, with their own books getting published there! The children had a blast exploring the library and even joined in a treasure hunt. Now, everyone’s eager to get their very own library card. What a fun day!
Year 2 had great fun creating polar scene dioramas! Using cotton wool for snow, recycled materials for icy landscapes and tiny animal figures, they bought the Arctic and Antarctic to life. They also used their art skills to design the northern lights in the background.
Home learning project ideas - Poles Apart Autumn 2024
This month we have had an excellent time designing, making and evaluating our sandwiches. We used this experience to create a set of instructions for others to make their designs. For this we have learned about imperative verbs, adverbs, adjectives and time connectives and how to include them in our writing.
In Maths, we have been starting to add one-digit numbers with a two-digit number to get a total using a range of methods such as bridging to 10 and using a number line.
We have also learned about Rosa Parks in History and her importance and why what she did is still important today.
This weeks homework is a quiz to consolidate what the children have been learning about in their topics at school. Quizzes are due in on the 14th October. They do not necessarily need to be printed, but the answers do need to be written down and handed in to the teachers.
Our Wonderful Maths Ambassador, Eden, announced our new maths home learning challenges this morning in assembly. Eden would like entries back to her by Friday 18th October.
