About Lapwings (Year 2)

Welcome to Year 2!

We have some exciting Topic sessions coming up this half term in Geography, History and Design Technology. We will be learning about what a biome and vegetation belt are, why Mary Anning and David Attenborough are significant individuals as well as tasting a range of fresh produce in order to create a healthy wrap... YUM!

In R.E, we will be finding out what the five pillars of Islam are and where Muslims go to pray before creating our own watercolour of a mosque.

In English, we will be focusing on a range of genres and grammar principles. We will begin by looking at the features of an information text including: title, headings, paragraphs, captions, diagrmas and photographs. We will learn to read and summarise key information about the rainforest biome and research the plants and animals found there before publishing our reports. We will also be looking at repetition, rhymes and similies in poetry before creating our own poems about the journey of a seed.

In Maths, our focus early in the half term will be on telling the time to o'clock, half past, quarter to and quarter past the hour alongside recapping all arithmetic and reasoning skills learnt so far ahead of the SATs. We will also be looking at units of measurement including reading a scale and measuring in grams.
