Science

We are studying the topic of ‘Everyday Materials’ in science this half term. This will include identifying and naming everyday materials, carrying out simple investigations to decide which material is best suited to different jobs, and applying their knowledge of everyday materials to sort objects by their properties.

Geography

In Geography topic ‘Our School’, Class 2 will learn about the world, starting with their immediate environment. Children will explore their school environment using first-hand observation and experience to enhance their awareness alongside map skills and fieldwork.

ICT

This unit introduces children to the principles of coding, using the age-appropriate ScratchJr software.

Art
Our 'Nature Sculptures' unit will engage children in drawing natural forms such as flowers, leaves, and woodland creatures. 

PSHE

Class 2 will explore health and well-being this term.

RE

Class 2 will explore what it means to be part of a community in RE this term. This will consider what communities children belong to both inside and outside school and explore why this can be important to people.

PE

Our PE days are Wednesdays with Mrs Spencer and Friday with Bee Active coaches. This half term we are focusing on throwing and catching with Mrs Spencer and our fantastic Bee Active Coaches.

Music

We are looking at a range of music through the Charanga Music Scheme. All the learning is focused around two songs: Rhythm In The Way We Walk (Reggae style) and Banana Rap (Hip Hop style). Children will listen and discuss other styles of music, and continue to embed the interrelated dimensions of music through games and singing.
