Class 2

Shining Together, We Reach for the Stars.

 

To begin the summer term in class 2, we will explore the topic of 'Rotten Romans'. We will look into the Roman Empire and learn about how this was ruled. Then  we will explore some key figures of the time, including Julius Caesar, as well as the beliefs of people during the Roman rule. After half term, we will be having a Roman day, where we get an insight into what life would have been like during these times. We will learn about what people ate, what jobs and hobbies they would have had, as well as some jobs people had to earn a living. We will also explore some important buildings of the time, and features within these such as mosaics. 

Our Science topic this term is 'Life on Earth'. We will learn about a range of living things, which includes both plants and animals. The children will learn that all living things experience the 7 important life processes of movement, respiration, sensitivity, growth, reproduction, excretion and nutrition. After learning about some animals, we will create shoebox habitats for them, and be able to explain why the chosen animal is best suited for survival in this habitat. 

In English, our text this term is 'Fantastic Mr Fox'. The children will get hooked on this text and enjoy creating wanted posters to help the farmers find Mr Fox. After this, the children will write a newspaper report, retelling the events of a gripping part of the story. We will also have opportunities for drama within our English lessons, which many of the children really enjoy taking part in, and it helps them retell the plot of the story too. 

We look forward to another fun and exciting term together!
