Welcome to Baker Street - Year 2
Miss Dunlop, Mrs Richardson and Miss Keeble
English
For this term we will be learning about poetry with ocean themes and read Commotion in the Ocean. We will learn to write our own poem. For story writing we will use The Little Red Hen to write our traditional tale based on a journey. Spellings will be sent out on a Monday and be tested on the following Monday. The first test will be on Monday 20th January. Scores will be recorded in the reading diary.
Maths
We will be learning our 2, 3, 5 and 10 times tables. We will learn about odd and even numbers, fractions, properties of shape, grid references on maps and measuring length and height.
Please encourage your child to log into TT Rock Stars to practise their 2 and 10 times tables. Practise the 5 and 3 times tables when your child is ready.
Connected Curriculum
We are all excited to start learning about Oceans, continents, maps, places near and far- the Mersea coast compared to the Australian coast. We will be looking at how plastic pollution is affecting our planet. Our class toy, Winnie the Pooh will be visiting each child to find out about the world we live in.
P.E
We have P.E on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Please remember to have a full kit for these days and no earrings are to be worn. Thank you.

Times Table Rockstars
It is really important for the children to know their times tables. Here at Cherry Tree Academy we have found a fun way to learn our times table. Times Table Rockstars! Children can have their own rockstar name, they can listen to rock music as they learn their tables, even play tournaments! All the children have been given usernames and passwords- if you are unsure please ask the class teacher. Click the link below to start rocking out!!
