What are we learning this term:

This term in Year 2, we are exploring some exciting new topics! In Geography, we will be learning all about our local area, undertaking surveys of traffic and shops, and creating our own maps to show important landmarks. In Art, we’ll be inspired by the famous artist William Morris, experimenting with colours, patterns, and textiles to design our own beautiful prints. During PE, we’ll be practising Yoga, helping us to build strength, balance, and calm minds.

In English, we’ll be reading The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark by Jill Tomlinson and exploring explanation texts and letter writing, as well as learning fascinating facts from non-fiction books about owls. We’ll also enjoy reading and performing the much-loved poem The Owl and the Pussycat, and even have a go at writing our own poems!

As we move through the term, we will also be busy rehearsing our KS1 Nativity, ready for our wonderful performances at the end of term. It’s going to be a creative, joyful, and exciting time full of learning and fun!
