Year 2 Maths Shape and Space A powerpoint showing how to make 3d shapes using the faces of 2d shapes. There a vast array of resources including tables to identify properties of shapes to making a net of regular 3d shapes. Be creative and see if you can make a cube net using some of these resources; spaghetti and marsh mellows or straws and blu tac ,or using construction toys Children in year 1 should identify how many 2d shape faces they can find on a 3d shape. They should locate shapes in the environment and label them. In year 2 children will be identifying properties of 3d shapes such as vertices, edges, right faces, number of 2d shapes needed for a net etc. They should also compare one 3d shape with another one and discuss what is same and different.

Year 2 Maths - Numebr with a focus on Division Learning to divide and share . children solve dividing equally by 2,5, 3, 4, and 10. They use the step count method to help them solve the missing number. This strategy relies on children being good at counting in steps of the above numbers mentioned. They understand how to solve division quickly using this method and can move onto applying it to division with remainders. The powerpoint has clear explanations as to how this method can be used. Very useful in a year 2 setting for all abilities. Children working at greater depth show their reasoning by using the inverse. An excellent resource to show challenge for all.

Year 2 Division. This is a bundle of resources to teach division with missing numbers. It is suitable after children are secure at step counting to divide or after sharing equally into groups. Once they are secure, they can solve missing numbers.

The next step function machine is an excellent plenary to solve another missing number that is presented differently. It is excellent for children working at greater depth. This resource is fab and fun for exploring and investigating number in mixed ability groups. Please enjoy and remember to review the resource. Thank you.

This lesson has been used as evidence for the science quality mark.

Year 2 Science Plants Unit Teach and model to children how to set up a fair test to find out how seeds germinate the fastest. The first question is do seeds need light? Children then go on to ask their own enquiry questions about seed germination and follow this through. Some examples are , do they need warmth? do they need air? do they need nutrients? do they need water? do they need air? This planning and PowerPoint has excellent examples of how to follow the lead of the children. It demonstrates how each group could be setting up their own enquiry and then feed back to the rest of the class. They compare each others fair test and think of follow up questions. Suitable for the new year 2 science curriculum and used to receive a quality mark.

Use plants concept map to assess children’s prior learning. Can also be used at the end of the unit. it is useful to generate enquiry questions for children to then sort which ones they will pursue by observing, researching, observing over time, comparative testing or fair testing. The assessment task is to be used at the end of the unit as a means of assessing children’s scientific knowledge and understanding. Please visit the shop to access all plants lessons and resources. Suitable for the year 2 plants curriculum.

Year 2 open ended challenge. Can also be used for Year 1 HAPs children to show application of number bonds to 20. Good group work activity and allows for children to demonstrate their reasoning skills. Teachers will be able to use AFL during the activity to see which children are confident with their bonds to 10,20 and 50. Can be easily differentiated by using counters for less confident children and changing some of the rules, e.g you can use any number more than once. Great for group work or individual assessment task. Encourages working systematically and talking about maths to show thinking.

Year 2 English Writing Unit This is a unit of work based on Monsters and a short clip. There are two weeks of English Fiction planning that incorporates immersion activities, imagination ideas, and opportunities for children to write simple poetry about feelings of fear. The unit then moves on to watching the short clip and planning ideas for a narrative. Children describe the monster, where it has come from and write their own adventure story. ‘The day I found monster under my bed.’ The resources includes ideas of how to use the monster theme for topic work including DT and making a pesky monster punch drink, and thinking of ideas about how to trap a monster. Please also additional linked resources called ‘How to trap a wild thing.’ in the shop for Instructions only.

This document is to support teachers with feedback and marking. There is an example Powerpoint of good quality feedback and the pedagogy behind it - with children's work, next step marking, self assessment ideas and positive feedback language. There is also a bank of 'Next Step Marking' ideas that have been created to support teachers in their feedback to children that allow independence in revising their work. If marking is over explicit, then parts of the writing may be disqualified. It is highly recommended not to over mark and train children to understand teacher feedback e.g. Use varied sentences for effect on the reader/audience (means that the child has to use questions, commands, statements and exclamatory sentences). The detail in brackets is displayed in the classroom and given as verbal feedback to child. They then go away and improve their writing accordingly. This documents will give you more open bank of statements to use in your next steps (so moderators can't say the feedback was too explicit), and not use that piece of work as evidence for the child meeting the expected criteria (or above greater depth). Suitable for KS1, but can be easily adapted to Year 3 also. Hope you find it useful for your teams and use it to promote independent editing, revising and improvement of work.
