LET'S EXPLORE THE WORLD (LINKED TO MOVERS AND SHAKERS)

This project teaches children about atlases, maps and cardinal compass points. They learn about the characteristics of the four countries of the United Kingdom and find out why there are hot, temperate and cold places around the world. They also compare England to Somalia. Children will carry out fieldwork, collecting primary data in their locality to answer geographical questions.

MOVERS AND SHAKERS 

This project teaches children about historically significant people who have had a major impact on the world. They will learn to use timelines, stories and historical sources to find out about the people featured and use historical models to explore their significance.

 

Home Learning

You can support your child with learning at home by spending time reading with your child and listening to them read. You could always visit the local library to choose some books together! Please see the external links at the bottom of this page.

At Yew Tree Primary, we use Boom Reader to record your child’s reading journey. By downloading the app, you can record the support that your child receives at home so that staff can see and you can see what reading they are completing with teachers whilst at school. 

Boom Reader is free and easy to download and takes minutes to connect to the school and your child’s reading records. If you have more than one child at Yew Tree you can add them through the one app. All your children’s reading records are in one app and you can swap between the children’s records at the touch of button. 

If you need the school code or unique pupil code to connect, please dojo your child’s class teacher. Mrs Mclean is also available to support.

You can also help your child to learn to read and spell the Year 2 common exception words.
