Value in Everyone
Year 2
September
Welcome to a brand new year in Year 2 at Jarrow Cross. We are very pleased to welcome you all to this year group. We have had an excellent start to the new year and are looking forward to lots of lovely activities this month, as well as our trip to the zoo next month.
Our topic this term is called Amazing Africa and we have begun our English lessons with a story called Handa's Surprise. We have been using adjectives to describe the delicious fruits in this story.
In maths, we always start the year off with looking at place value. We will use a variety of different equipment to help partition and compare numbers numbers to 100.
In RE we are learning about why Moses is special to Jewish people. In our science lessons we are looking at living things and their habitats. Geography will cover learning about the continents, the North and South Poles and whether we'd like to live in a hot or cold climate. Mrs Watson will be teaching dance in PE and Miss Glen will be teaching Computing - Looking at IT around us.
We have introduced Peer Massage to the children. We do this after lunch time as an aid to help with transition from the play ground to the classroom before we start work in the afternoon. The children are really enjoying this and look forward to the chill time. We ask permission before placing our hands on each other's shoulders and carry out some massage techniques on the head, shoulders and back. Some of the children have already said they have been giving massages at home, we hope you have enjoyed it!
