Autumn 1 2020
In Neptune class this half term we have a lovely topic to start off the year – Toys. The children will be listening to the story Dogger in English; this is about a little boy who loses his favourite toy. We will also be looking at the history of toys, which toys are new and which are old. The children will think about why toys are made out of different materials. This links nicely to our science topic of materials too. In science, the children are identifying different types of materials and their properties.
In maths, we will be focusing on place value, addition and subtraction.
Spring 2020
This half term Neptune Class we will be focusing on multiplication and division in maths. We will be using finger printing to help us with our arrays in multiplication. We might even share out some sweets to help us with our division! In science, we are looking at ‘Living things and their habitats’. The children will be thinking about why a polar bear or a penguin would not make a good pet! As a focus for geography we will be thinking about why a meercat could not live in the North Pole. We will also be drawing some of the polar animals during our art lessons. I wonder if the children know where polar animals come from?
Autumn 2 2019
During this half term we will be focusing on addition and subtraction in maths. Year 2 will begin to use the column method to answer questions. In science, we are looking at different types of materials and describing their properties. The children will carry out investigations on the materials. There might even be some chocolate involved! Our DT lessons this half term will be looking at how to make moving pictures. The children will test a variety of moving pictures and learn what type of movement they make. The final product will be to make their very own moving picture. I wonder what they will make? As we lead up to Christmas, Neptune class will be looking at Christmas traditions in history lessons and why light is important at Christmas time in RE.
Autumn 1 2019
During Autumn 1st half term, Neptune Class will be focusing on Neil Armstrong and Christopher Columbus in History. We will be learning lots of interesting facts about both of these men and finding out why they are famous. You will receive a copy of the topic Knowledge Organiser which will share with you and your child lots of facts that you can read together at home.
Keeping on the theme of space, we will be reading Aliens Love Underpants and Beegu during literacy and the children will be writing some super space stories. We will also be designing some of our own aliens who can be characters in our story. I wonder what all the aliens will look like?
