Welcome to Year 2 – Autumn
Welcome to Year 2 and welcome to SPACE! In this explosively exciting half-term, we’ll be travelling TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!
We’ll be meeting some very special alien friends and finding out all about their home planet of Woolie Gazoo, as well as soaring through our own Solar System and using all of our space knowledge to create out-of-this-world planet fact files. We’ll be reading The Way Back Home by Oliver Jeffers and using what we’ve learned to write our own incredible space adventure stories.
We’ll use colour mixing techniques to create our own planets in Art & Design and, in Design & Technology, we will be designing and building transportation to carry our aliens home across the harsh terrain of extra-terrestrial worlds.
In History we will be learning about the space adventures of Mae Jemison, Neil Armstrong, Bernard Harris Jnr and Tim Peake and what makes each of them significant.
In Maths, we will be deepening our understanding of the number system and place value and learning about the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction.
Our Computing unit will help us to develop an understanding of different programs such as Powerpoint and everyday uses of technology.
