Year 2
Week Beginning: 9th November 2026
What a truly super week we have had in Year 2! Starting with our fantastic Superhero Day on Monday, the children have returned to school full of enthusiasm and ready to learn. We have had an amazing first week back, packed with exciting activities, brilliant learning and lots of smiles. We are so proud of the positive attitude and effort that all of the children have shown throughout the week!
Our new Project Overview and Home Learning Sheet were sent home earlier this week and can also be found at the bottom of this page. We are looking forward to seeing the wonderful learning and creative activities the children complete at home, and we can't wait to celebrate their efforts in school!
Learning this week:
English- We will be innovating our own superhero narratives based on our model text, Supertato written by Sue Hendra.
Maths- We will continue our work on adding and subtracting through and over a 10.
Phonics- We will be learning alternative graphemes for the phonemes /ch/ and /ar/.
Science- The children will be exploring the properties of different materials in order to answer our key question: What material would be best for a superhero cape?
Art- We will be exploring positive and negative space in art by creating a superhero silhouette.
PSHE- We will be exploring families and how they have different traditions.
