Year 2
Welcome to Year 2!
Our Classes
Hi Year 2!
Our current topic is:
During History lessons, we will be finding out about the Titanic. We will have a Titanic themed day at the beginning of term to launch our topic! We will learn about moving pictures in Design Technology and then design and make our own moving pictures based on our Titanic topic. In Science, we will be looking at materials, focusing on floating, sinking and waterproof materials. We will be reading Samson's Titanic Journey in English. We will then write our own diaries as though we are passengers on the Titanic, we will also create posters advertising the Titanic.
Titanic Day
As our hook in to learning about Titanic, we spent the day dressed as Crew or passengers from the Titanic. We learnt about the similarities and differences between first and third class for passengers. We also did some role play of being passengers aboard the Titanic.
For World Nursery Rhyme Week, we chose one of the 5 nursery rhymes to learn and sing using actions.
