Spring 1
Art
In art, our focus is collage. The children will be looking at different materials that can be used to create collages. The children will explore the work of a famous artist called David Mach and will look at his most famous pieces.
R.E
Year 2 children will be continuing their RE learning by looking at the key question: What is a Muslim and what do they believe? We will be looking into Islam and learning all about Islamic beliefs.
RSHE
In RSHE this half term children will be learning about what helps them to grow and stay healthy. Within the topic, the children will find out that different things will help their bodies to be healthy, including food and drink, physical activity, sleep and rest.
Science
This term we will be learning about living things and their habitats. During the topic, the children will compare the differences between things that are living, dead or have never been alive. They will find out that most living things live in a habitat that they are suited to and how different habitats provide the basic needs for different kinds of animals and plants. The children will identify a variety of animals within a particular habitat, such as a jungle or ocean. We will be exploring micro-habitats a bit closer to home and we will also look at the importance of food chains and what a food chain in each habitat might look like.
History
In history, we will be learning about a significant person from outside of the UK. Wangari Mathaii will be our focus this half term. The children will learn key facts about her and find out why she’s known as “The Woman of the Trees”.
Design and Technology
We will be making healthy wraps using our knowledge of balanced diets. The children will discover where food comes from. Exciting!
African Drumming
Workshop- As part of our learning about Wangari and Kenya this term, we are very lucky to be participating in a drumming workshop at the end of January.
How lucky are we?
