Welcome to Year 2!
We have lots of exciting topics this term that you can find more information about below.
What are we learning?
Geography – Zambia
During this term, our geography focus will be an investigation and comparison into the country Zambia. We will learn where Zambia is, how to locate it on the map and all the different features and cultural differences. We will then compare what we have learnt to where we live and investigate similarities and differences.
Science – Plants
In science this term we will be discovering plants. We will be learning about the different features of a plant and be able to correctly identify these, as well as learning about the key things that plants need to be able to grow and survive. We will investigate the growth of plants – predicting what we think will happen with a plant growth cycle before observing our own class plants to find out what happens.
Other Subjects:
English – narrative and poems.
Maths – multiplication, division and fractions.
PE – dance and swimming.
Art – animal art and Henri Rousseau
Music – musical me
Computing – online safety and questioning
RE – Holy places: where and how do Christians, Sikhs and Muslims worship?
What are we reading?
This half term we are going to be focusing on animal stories and poems. We will start off by reading The Tiger Child, a folktale from India. Children will then be able to recreate their own version of The Tiger Child. Following on from this, we will then read a variety of animal poems from the book Tiger, Tiger Burning Bright before recreating our own animal poems. Children will also have regular opportunities to read in class and choose books to read for pleasure weekly during school library visits and at the end of the day within class.

The timetable below shows when children will need to bring in specific items during the week. It is the children's responsibility to ensure that they bring the correct equipment and kit on specific days. If any changes are made, parents will be notified via parent pay.
