Year 2

All aboard! This term we are off to the City of London as part of our, 'Bright Lights, Big City' topic. 

We will be starting our learning off by completing a 360 virtual tour of the city from the rooftop of a double decker bus and will hunt for key landmarks and other human and natural features on maps. 

In English, we will be using the story, 'Katie in London' to help us learn more about the city landmarks and we will be practising describing them. We will then begin to plan a new adventure for Katie. 

In Maths, we will be learning all about fractions and exploring halves, quarters and thirds. We will solve fractions problems, answering questions related to shape and number. 

In Science, we will be re-visiting our knowledge and understanding of materials and discussing the best materials for a bag. We will then be using this knowledge to help us design souvenir bags of our own. 

In Art we will be looking at the art work of Paul Catherall and creating prints of our own inspired by the London skyline. 

As the weather is getting warmer, please can all children have hats every day and sunscreen applied before school Please can they still be provided with a light jacket in case it drizzles - we will still be going outside! Many thanks.
