Year 2 – Holly Class
What We’ve Been Up To This Term
Perspectives
We will be conducting cross-curricular learning linked to Perspectives. We will be identifying how each persons perspective is different. Our topic question is ‘Can we see things differently if they are the same?’
Books your child could read at home:
- I am Rosa Parks by Brad Meltzer
- Willy and Hugh by Anthony Browne
- Willy the Wizard by Anthony Browne
- I am Amelia Earhart by Brad Meltzer
What are we doing at the moment?
In Year 2 we have been learning about our topic of trees. The class has created art work using water colours, tree rubbing and collage. We have also been developing our sketching skills to draw trees in our school grounds. In PSHE we have been discussing how we can be a good friend and make positive friendships. We created a jigsaw about all of the important things about us and our friends. This week in science we have been learning about different types of trees and the seeds they produce. We planted acorns and concurs in soil and will watch them shoot over the coming months. In previous lesson we went out and measured the trees to work out how old they are.
Autumn Term 1 – Holly Class
They will also listen to Christian stories and infer information about what is God like. They will have the opportunity to think, talk and reflect on the lessons.
Autumn Term 2 – Holly Class
The children will be able to give a clear, simple account of the story of Jesus’ birth and why Jesus is important for Christians.
The children will recognise that stories of Jesus’ life come from the Gospels. They will be able to give examples of ways in which
Christians use the story of the nativity to guide their beliefs and actions at Christmas. The children will decide what they personally have to be thankful for at Christmas time.
