Year 2
For the Spring term, our topic is: Inventors!
Maths
In Year 2, we have been learning about money. We have been learning how to recognise different coins and notes, how to make amounts in different ways and we have used our knowledge to answer two step questions. We have used money to buy items in our St George's shop, using money and so also working out change when we needed.
Key texts for the Spring term:
Science
Science will also link with our Inventors theme as we will be looking at different inventors from the past. Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison researching these important inventors and then moving on to create and evaluate our own inventions deciding if they will be suitable for the Victorian times.
Art
In Year 2, we have been looking at the artist Maria Bartuszovά. We have looked at the different sculptures she created and discussed words we would use to describe them. We then started to create our own structures using balloons and paper mâché. We looked at different materials that we could use to layer up on our sculptures and have begun to add these materials on.
Computing
Each half term we begin with a unit on Online Safety. This half term we have been looking at information being used on the internet and who our trusted adults are. We then move onto using ICT, going step by step though procedures used to create a stop motion activity, to then be able to make our own video.
