Class 2 2024 - 2025
Miss Roxanne Lundbeck
Welcome to Class 2
Autumn Term
Our topic this half term is ‘Senses and Sound’. In our English and Communication Sessions we are looking at several stories. The first one we will be looking at is ‘Peace at Last’ by Jill Murphy.
Our topic in Maths is weight and number. We will be learning about heavy and light and exploring them in greater detail. We will also learn how to use balancing scales effectively.
In PSHE we will be learning about changing and growing. We will be focusing on the different stages of life and we will make a link to our own families - who is special to us. This leads on from our topic last term 'what makes us special'.
In computing we will be learning about different ways you can capture photos. We will be using an iPad initially and then using the images to create a poster on PowerPoint or word.
Every day we will continue to work on our individual targets and enjoy lots of fun and exciting ways to learn.
Spring Term
This half term our topic is ‘Toys and Dinosaurs’. During this topic, the children will be exploring old and new toys and learning all about dinosaurs.
During our daily English and Communication Sessions. Our Stories this term will be 'The Magic Toy Box' and 'Wish I had a Dinosaur'. The children will complete a range of activities linked to each of the stories.
During our daily Maths Sessions, the children will be learning about time. They will learn the key components of a clock; including the hour and minute hand. We will be using the song ‘hickory dickory clock’ – the children will take on the role of the characters whilst sharing what time it is. Also, some children will be working on sequencing key daily events.
In PSHE, the children will be learning about feelings and different emotions and how these make them feel. They will think about things that make them feel happy and sad and look at things that they can do when they are feeling this way.
Science - we are looking at the topic ‘push and pull.
Music and DT – Exploring music linked to dinosaurs and creating some instruments to perform with.
Our Topic in Spring 2 will be 'Journeys'. During this topic, the children will learn about different modes of transport and where they might travel on each of them. As we read out class stories 'The Journey Home From Grandpa's House' and 'Whatever Next’, the children will go on two very different adventures and will complete a range of activities linked to the stories.
During our daily Maths Sessions, the children will be learning about position and direction. The children will learn how to move in different directions including forwards, backwards, left and right. They will then have the opportunity to program different toys to direct them around their very own obstacle course. The children will also be learning about different positions including in, out, under, on and next to.
In PSHE, we will be learning and thinking about the world we live in. The children will learn about the different types of jobs that people do and people who help us.
Every day we will continue to work on our individual targets and enjoy lots of fun and exciting ways to learn!
