Lent 2 Term- what will we learn?
Wind and the Willows
Hello Families,
Welcome to Year 2’s class page. I am so excited to be back form maternity leave and teaching in Year 2 alongside Mrs Pyatt. Mrs Brown will be teaching Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and Mrs Pyatt will be teaching the class on Thursday and Friday.
Please read below for an overview of what the children will be learning about this first Pentecost half term:
Our topic this term is called ‘Wind and the Willows’.
In English we are focusing on creating an adventure story based on ‘The Wind in the Willows’. Following this, the children will write letters written in role as one of the animals from ‘The Wind in the Willows’, recounting a key event or sequence of events. Finally, to end the term, the children will innovate a classic poem.
In Maths we will be learning about fractions followed by time.
In RE during the Pentecost Term, we will explore the topic ‘To the ends of the Earth’.
The other subjects we will be learning as part of Wind in the Willows topic are Science, Geography and Design and Technology.
Our Science topic this term focuses on Living Things and their Habitats. We will be exploring and comparing the habitats of plants and animals including minibeasts from local areas and less familiar habitats.
In Design and Technology, we will use the Disciplinary Skills of a good Designer to create a Puppet using textiles to re-tell a story.
Our Geography lessons will focus on learning about seasonal and daily weather patterns in the United Kingdom. The children will observe and record weather conditions and start to consider how these affect human activity. We will be focusing on using our Disciplinary Skills of a good Geographer to think about what happens during the season of summer, what the weather is like in summer including what happens to the length of the day, and what happens to plants and animals.
In Relationship and Sex Education (RSE) we will be learning about Living in the wider community.
In PE, the children will be doing games, focusing on striking and fielding.
You will see below our timetable for this next half term along with the knowledge organiser for this terms subjects.
During this term, the Year 2 children will be completing their SATs. Please work with your child to complete the CGP revision books to support them in preparation for the tests in May.
Look out for up-to-date messages and homework on Class Dojo.
Many thanks,
Mrs Brown, Mrs Pyatt and Mrs Heald.
