English

This half term, we will be consolidating all the knowledge we have gained in Year 1. We will be writing stories, descriptions, instructions, information and persuasive texts. We will also be learning poetry off by heart so we can perform it to others and inventing our own poems based on models.

Maths

As Mathematicians, we are learning to recognise and know the value of money, learning to measure by ordering three objects by mass or capacity, describing position and direction including whole, half, quarter and three-quarter turns, as well as 'clockwise' and 'anti-clockwise'. To help your child at home, please encourage them to look at the price of things in shops and talk about the different coins and notes needed to buy items.

Science

As Scientists, we will draw together our knowledge of what we have observed throughout the seasons and describe what we have found out.

We will also be taking part in the Stemterprise Project, applying our knowledge from Engineering to make a healthy dish- keep looking at this page to find out what it is.

History

As Historians we will develop an understanding of events, people and changes through historical enquiry. We will investigate how toys have changed and communicate our findings in a variety of ways. You could help your child by sharing with them what toys you liked to play with at their age.

R.E

As Theologians we will be answering the question 'What do Hindus believe about God?' We will listen to stories shared by Hindus and express our understanding of the meanings to some of the pictures and statues used in worship.

Learning outside the classroom
