Hello Year 2
Miss Moran and Mrs Davis are your class teachers and we are lucky to have Mrs Sims and Mrs Conzuelo working with us.
Miss Moran will be teaching Year 2 on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Mrs Davis will be teaching Year 2 on Thursday and Friday.
Welcome to our class page. We’re excited to inform what the class will be learning this half term, as well as showing you all the fun we are having on their learning journey.
This term's value and virtues are intentional and prophetic.
Pupils in a Jesuit school are growing to be intentional in the way they live and prophetic in the example they set.
Our class saint is St George.
Thank you for all your support
Miss Moran and Mrs Davis
RE
The liturgical season this term is Ordinary Time. Year 2 will learn about how we all can Share in the life of Christ. We look at the key people in Jesus’ life and understand how they supported him throughout his journey. In turn, we can learn how to be more like them in our everyday lives. Then we will finish this term with our units on Advent and Christmas, thinking about the incoming arrival of our Saviour, Jesus.
We are focusing on the following prayers in Year 2. Please support your child in praying them at home.
Building the Kingdom
We are very proud to be a part of the Building the Kingdom programme, the aim of which is to embed distinctive Catholic Curriculum design for the transformation of society. As said on their website, ‘through the National School of Formation, a dynamic and challenging approach to teaching and learning in a Catholic School has been developed. This initiative calls for the contextualising of all learning within the beliefs and values of the Gospel and the Catholic tradition, aspiring to reach the highest possible levels of learning. We call it Building the Kingdom…’
Through Building the Kingdom, we explore the big questions of purpose and meaning that arise throughout the Liturgical year, and then create lessons and events which engage students with the skills needed to be agents for a Spirit fuelled transformation of society.
You will find this terms plan for Building the Kingdom at the bottom of the page.
Through our curriculum work this term we will be focusing on
Catholic Social Teaching - Option for the poor
British Value - Individual Liberty
Curriculum
This term our Curriculum is about
Muck, Mess and Mixtures.
Let’s get messy! Muck and mess is good! In fact, it’s marvellous!
Dive in and get your hands all sticky and covered in paint. Play around with liquids, squish some dough and check out the mushiest of foods.
Pour, mix, stir, splat! Don’t worry about the mess, it will always wash.
Science
This term, we are learning about Materials.
The children will be learning about materials this term. They will be able to name different materials, sort these materials according to a criteria and discuss whether the material is suitable for its purpose. Through experiments, the class will explore the different changes that can be made to a material through freezing and melting.
