Grammar and punctuation

In Year 2, children are developing simple sentences into more complex ones. They use expanded noun phrases to extend their descriptions and begin to explore more imaginative vocabulary. They use an increasing range of punctuation including possessive apostrophes, commas in a list, exclamation and question marks. As the year progresses, they begin to proof-read and edit their sentences to check that they make sense and are punctuated correctly as well as editing to improve their work. They expand on their writing by using conjunctions such as “but”, “so”, “if”, “when”, “because” and “and”. They read their writing aloud in a clear voice with appropriate intonation to make meaning clear.

Science

Uses of Everyday Materials

Scientist – John Dunlop

Can I identify different materials? What are different materials used for? Why are some materials used for certain things? How can we change the shape of some materials? Who is John Dunlop?

Working scientifically:

-I can perform simple tests to find things out.

-I can use my observations and ideas to suggest answers to questions.

-I can gather and record data (information) to help in answering questions.

-I can identify and classify (sort) living and non-living things.

Living things and their habitats

Can I identify living, dead and things that haven’t been alive?

What is a habitat? Are all habitats the same? Can I name some habitats and plants and animals that live there?

What is a food chain? Can I give an example of a food chain? What is a predator? What is prey?

What do living things need to survive and grow?

Working scientifically:

-I can recognise that questions can be answered in different ways.

-I can observe closely, using simple equipment (like magnifying glasses).

-I can use my observations and ideas to suggest answers to questions.

-I can gather and record data (information) to help in answering questions.

-I can identify and classify (sort) living and non-living things.

Animals including Humans

Working scientifically:

-I can recognise that questions can be answered in different ways.

-I can perform simple tests to find things out.

-I can use my observations and ideas to suggest answers to questions.

Plants

How do seeds and grow into mature plants? What do plants need to grow and stay healthy?

Working scientifically:

-I can recognise that questions can be answered in different ways.

-I can perform simple tests to find things out.

-I can observe closely, using simple equipment (like magnifying glasses).

-I can gather and record data (information) to help in answering questions.

Pupils should use the local environment throughout the year to observe how different plants grow. Pupils should be introduced to the requirements of plants for germination, growth and survival, as well as to the processes of reproduction and growth in plants. Note: Seeds and bulbs need water to grow but most do not need light; seeds and bulbs have a store of food inside them. Pupils might work scientifically by: observing and recording, with some accuracy, the growth of a variety of plants as they change over time from a seed or bulb, or observing similar plants at different stages of growth; setting up a comparative test to show that plants need light and water to stay healthy.
