School Year 2020 - 2021
We are so looking forward to the year ahead.
We hope everyone is safe and well and looking forward to an action packed year! We cant wait to see the children grow in confidence and ability throughout the year whilst learning about our new exciting topics.
Summer 1
We hope you all had a lovely and restful Easter break. This half term we will be travelling to Space to find out what life is like in the Solar System. This is always one of our most popular topics in Year 2.
Our PE days are now on Thursday and Friday so children will need to come into school wearing their PE kits.

Spring 2
Save the Rainforest
Our Topic this half term is about ‘Saving the Rainforest’. We will become global detectives and scientists as we learn about the issues surrounding the rainforests all around the world. We will learn about plants, animals and their habitats.
These will be our texts for this half term as the children learn to write in the style of the author Micheal Rosen
Look at some of our wonderful pieces of topic work from our remote learners.
Autumn 1
Titanic
This half term we will be travelling back in time to April 1912 to find out what happened to the 'Unsinkable Ship of dreams' The Titanic. The children will be writing using both fiction and non fiction genres as they think about what they would hear, see and feel if they were a passenger on board.
The children received this special message from Captain Edward Smith to launch our new topic...
