Welcome back! 

The Autumn term in Year 2 is full of fun and excitement as we explore new topics, including habitats, still life and significant figures in history! Already the children are off to a terrific start, gaining new independence as they become role models to the younger children. 

We will be looking at a variety of texts in English this first half-term, including various retellings of the classic fairytale 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears'. This will allow the children to create their own version of the story after exploring the key factors of a fairytale. 

We will be looking at exciting topics such as still life in art, where the children will learn about significant artists whilst exploring colour, pattern, textures and form. 

Our science topic of habitats will allow the children to explore various habitats for plants and animals, looking not only at unknown areas, but also the familiar areas of forest school. 

History will open the children up to significant figures of the past from all respects – activists, explorers, artists and scientists that all had a significant impact on our history. 

There is lots of fun to be had this first half-term in Year 2! I have attached the topic web and family learning below. If you complete any of the family learning activities, please let me know; I would love to see what the children, and you, have created!

If there is anything I can help with, please don't hesitate to contact me or catch me at the door!
