Our aim for this term is to encourage the children to learn through exploration and playing with words, numbers and skills. We will continue to focus on ways in which we can be Guardians of Gods Gift and Stewards of the Earth through looking at ways we can care for our school, each other and the wider community.
In History, we will be learning about Mary Seacole and her greatest achievements; children will discover why she is an important historical figure who is still remembered today.
Art lessons will link to this History topic as we will learn about the artist Augusta Savage, taking inspiration from her work to make our own sculptures of important people in out lives.
In our English lessons, we will use a variety of texts to inspire us in our own writing, such as Meerkat Mail and The Troll. You may have noticed there is an animal theme in our English texts; this links well to our topic in Science: ‘Animals, including humans’. We will learn about the basic needs of animals and humans.
We will also learn about how to look after our bodies by keeping clean, exercising and eating the right foods. In Maths, we will continue to problem-solve, reason and develop our Mathematical fluency. Our Maths topics for this term will be Multiplication and Division, Money, Length and Height, Mass, Capacity and Temperature and Shape.
In our Geography lessons, we will learn about the weather, seasons and the impacts of climate change.
In DT, Year 2 will be designing and making hand puppets based on book characters, which will link to our first Come and See topic of ‘Books’.
When we are in the Computing Lab, we will be developing our coding knowledge. The children will also practise their typing skills.
In PE lessons, we will focus on developing our athletic skills and we will be doing Gymnastics.
