Year 2 - Spring 2 - Week 1

Date: 25th Feb 2026 @ 10:19am

What a wonderful first week back for you and me!

In Maths this week, we focused on measurement. We looked at measuring the height and length of objects, to the nearest cm or m, in and out the classroom. After, we compared different lengths, focusing on using the mathematical language of longer, taller and shorter. Next week, we will focus on mass measuring the weight of various items.

In English, we did some work around old toys in preparation for our new book ‘Major Glad and Major Dizzy’. We started the week by exploring a range of toys from the past and deciding who they might belong to and how they might link to our story using the front cover as support. After, we used our own toys as props, using a range of adjectives and conjunctions to describe them. Next week, we will continue to look at conjunctions and adjectives and how they can make our work more interesting.

This week, we started our Read Write Inc Spelling Practice. Here, children will complete a series of activities in class and will take home a log and learn book. In here, they will have chosen their own words to practise based on the work completed in class. A message with more information will be sent at the start of next week.

In RE we focused on our new topic, The Easter Story. We started my looking at the start of the Easter story and how Jesus entered Jerusalem. We developed this story through role play – the children were excellent – as always!

In History, we started our new topic on the Three Queens. Here we focused on identifying the three queens and where they fit into the timeline of events and in relation to each other. The children were great history detectives here, and were able to place them in the correct order whilst identifying key historical events from each era.

Thank you, Year 2 for making my first week back so magical!
