Autumn 1:
It will be an exciting first half-term of learning for Year 2!
In English, we will look at traditional tales. As part of this, we will study an alternate version of The Three Little Pigs called 'The True Story of The Three Little Pigs' by Jon Sciezcka. We will write character descriptions and our own endings to the story, focussing on our basic writing skills.
In Maths, we start off looking at place value and deepening our understanding of number patterns. As part of this, we will be partitioning and then moving onto learning about addition and subtraction.
In Science, we are learning all about the different habitats of living things. We will learn what they need to survive and how some clever animals have adapted to live in hostile environments like the desert.
For History, we will begin by comparing two monarchs: Queen Victoria and our very own King Richard III. We will plot some key events on our timeline, learn about how they influenced society and discover how you become a king or a queen!
In DT, we are going to be making pull-along toys for our friends in the Nursery Classes. To do that we will explore how wheels and axles work, and which shapes make the best wheels.
In Computing, we are beginning to improve our typing skills and learning how to edit and change text on a word processor.
Our PE lessons this half-term will focus on the core skills needed to take part in different sports and games, such as movement, catching and throwing.
In PSHE, our focus will be on relationships with each other including how to be a good friend and how to resolve arguments.
For more information on what we are learning this term, please look at our topic overview below or follow the link to our Curriculum page, where you will find information on each subject in more detail.
