What are we learning this term:

This term in Year 2, we have an exciting range of learning across the curriculum. In English, we will be writing character descriptions inspired by Horrid Henry and creating explanation texts about bees, linked to the text The Flight of the Honey Bee. In History, we will learn about Mary Seacole and Florence Nightingale and explore how they helped to shape modern nursing. In Design and Technology, the children will become vehicle designers as they design and build their own miniature go-karts. Our Science lessons will focus on growing plants and seeds, where we will investigate germination and what plants need to grow. In Computing, pupils will explore how to create music digitally using a computer, developing both creativity and technical skills.
