Class 2 Curriculum letter

Welcome back. I can’t believe that we are halfway through the school year already. The children in Class 2 are still living up to our expectation of them being the best class in school! They are following the school’s new behaviour policy and have become wonderful walkers in legendary lines.  They continue to amaze me with their learning, behaviour and care of each other.

Please find below an overview of learning this term. If you have any questions regarding this or any other aspect of school life, please do not hesitate to contact any of the Class 2 team.

Religious Education

In RE, we will be discussing What do Muslims do to express their beliefs and

which celebrations are important to Muslims?

Science

In science this term, we will be looking at animals and their habitats. The children will identify that most living things live in habitats to which they are suited and describe how different habitats provide for the basic needs of different kinds of animals and plants, and how they depend on each other. They will identify and name a variety of plants and animals in their habitats, including micro-habitats and describe how animals obtain their food from plants and other animals, using the idea of a simple food chain, and identify and name different sources of food.

P.E

PE will be on Tuesday (dance ) and Friday (parachute games). Please ensure children have the correct P.E uniform, all earrings are removed and hair is tied back on P.E days.

History

History this term will be looking at how things have changed since our grandparent’s times with a particular highlight on toys. If you have any older toys that you would not mind the children bringing in to show others, it would be really appreciated. 

Foundation

We will also cover subjects to help develop creativity and emotions- PSHE will be healthy me, music- In the groove. In computing we will be looking at pictograms and D.T will look at food and how it affects our senses
