Welcome to Year 2!
We hope you had a lovely break and are feeling refreshed ready for our Summer Term. We have lots of exciting topics this term that you can find more information about below.
What are we learning?
Geography – Map Makers
During this term, our geography focus will be Map Makers. We will be investigating different types of maps and the different features that you may find on a map. We will have practical experience of map reading and navigating around maps from location to location. Finally, we will then be drawing and creating our own physical and 3D maps.
Science –
Super Scientists
In science this term we will be looking at Super Scientists. This gives us the opportunity to learn about the amazing discoveries of famous scientists and how their work has helped us today. Not only will we learn about the wonderful discoveries made by scientists such as Alexander Fleming and Isaac Newton, but we will also have the opportunity to carry out our own investigations. These investigations will allow us to make predictions and provide opportunities to work scientifically before discussing our findings.
Other Subjects:
English – postcards and letters.
Maths – position and direction, time.
PE – athletics and swimming.
Art – Henri Rousseau and portraits.
Music – British songs and sounds.
Computing – online safety, coding.
RE – Who celebrates what? Celebrations that matter in Sandwell.
What are we reading?
This half term we are going to be reading ‘Flat Stanley’ by Jeff Brown – the story all about Stanley Lambchop who becomes completely flat and has many adventures by sliding under the doors! We will then be writing a postcard based upon this book, depicting one of Stanley’s many adventures. Following that we will be reading the story of ‘Tiddler’ by Julia Donaldson – the smallest fish who tells the tallest tales! We will be then writing letters based upon Tiddler. Alongside this we will be choosing a variety of different stories to read for pleasure and at home time within class.
