Term 2
Welcome back to Term 2!
We hope you all had a lovely half term. Our topic for this term is, ‘Home Sweet Home’ which focuses on children being able to name and locate counties and cities of the UK, geographical regions and their identifying human and physical characteristics. We will continue our science focus looking at how water exists in all three states of matter. We will learn about the water cycle and the children will look at the effects of evaporation, condensation and precipitation through experiments and observations.
In other areas of the curriculum, the children will be exploring Electrical Systems and creating a torch! We will be exploring relationships with family and friends in PSHE and covering The Trinity in RE. In PE, children will be learning about dance and fitness skills.
More detail about the curriculum lessons covered, including teaching covered by specialist teachers in Music, Computing and French, is accessible on our Year B curriculum overview on the school website.
In English this term, we will be basing our learning around the book, ‘Flooded’. By the end of the unit, children will have completed a narrative retell where they have innovated their own ending. While in reading, we will be practicing comprehension skills based on the book, ‘Rhythm of the Rain’.
Finally, in Maths, we will be completing more work consolidating place value, addition and subtraction. This will involve focusing on column methods, estimation and using the inverse amongst other strategies and visiting word problems. After this, we will move on to geometry where we will be identifying and drawing 2D and 3D shapes before moving onto area, perimeter and angles
