We will be researching the life and work of Mary Seacole and writing factual sentences about this significant historical figure. We will be focussing on using all the tools we have learnt so far in Year 1, including capital letters, full stops, finger spaces and using the conjunction ‘and’ in our writing.
In phonics we will be ‘growing the code’ using all of the new sounds (alternative spellings) we have learnt this term:
igh ie i i-e
ai ay a a-e
oa o o-e
ee e ie ea e-e
ew u ue u-e
We will also be revising all of the tricky words we have learnt in Year 1 so far.
Have a look below to see some examples of the types of ‘real’ or ‘alien/fake’ words they may have to read. More information about the Phonics Screening Check will be given to you later in the year.

Don’t forget to review the sounds and tricky words in the front of the reading records whenever you read with your child.

In science we will be thinking about the importance of personal hygiene for humans and linking this to the work we have completed about Florence Nightingale.
In history we will be learning about Mary Seacole and starting to compare her to Florence Nightingale.
In R.E. We will be learning about the importance of churches for Christians and investigating how a Christian community comes together at Christmas.
