Year 2 Summer News | Brookside Academy

Welcome back. We hope you all managed to have a fantastic break and avoid the showers that the gardens needed so greatly.

We cannot believe we are already entering Summer B – where has the time gone?

Talking of time, this is what we will be looking at In maths this term, alongside using specific vocabulary to state where items are and provide precise directions to get from A to B. Of course we will be continuing to solidify our amazing calculating skills and consolidate our understanding of fractions.

We wonder if you could show someone at home how to work out 3/4 of 20?

Can you remember what 2/4 is the same as? Explain how you know.

In English, we revisit the wonderful story of Jack and the beanstalk before we embark upon a curious adventure with the incredible Mr Penguin!

In Science we will be planting and observing peas as well as looking at a healthy, balanced diet before creating our own healthy, delicious snack in DT!

Geography takes us on an adventure to a different continent, Africa! We look at human and physical features before zooming into Zambia and a small village. Comparing our life to that of a child in Mugurameno is truly fascinating!

History takes us whirling back in time to look at a historic event that happened in our capital city and the amazing impact this has had on they way we live now!

What an adventure we will have!
