Welcome the Class 2's webpage. Here you can find out what we are up to this term.
Class 2 Summer Term Curriculum
This term is all about getting out and about! We will be discovering what is growing in the garden through observing and growing plants ourselves, learning about the lifecycle of plants and what they need in order to grow. We will also be learning to identify common flowers and trees in the school grounds, gardens and wider environment.
As the weather is becoming warmer we hope to enjoy a lot more outdoor learning in Class 2. Not just in science but in other subjects too. Changing environments often makes learning more exciting and more memorable and I am looking forward to exploring this concept further with the children.
We have several trips booked for this term and one of those is to Hollow Trees on Wednesday 7th June. The children will be exploring how the seasons affect what happens on the farm from crop growth through to animals. They will also learn about the importance of eating seasonal food as well. It looks to be an exciting day out.
Later in the term we will explore the contrasting environment of the sea through the theme ‘how to be a pirate’. We will enjoy learning about islands, creating and using simple maps with coordinates and what it was like to go to the seaside in Victorian times.
Below you will find further details of what is being taught this term in the curriculum summary.
