Autumn 1 - Let's Explore: Brazil

Year 2 are excited to launch their year by exploring the exciting country of Brazil. Year 2 will become Geographers in exploring Brazil's different landscapes from the exciting city of Rio de Janerio to the Amazon rainforests. In Art we're going to be looking at Brazilian artist Beatriz Milhazes and we will have a go at creating our own master pieces in her eclectic style.

In English we'll be using the story of Little Red Riding Hood by Lari Den to grow our understanding of writing sentences using what we've learnt so far in year one. We'll be developing our understanding of adjectives to include expanded noun phrases in our writing. At the end of our topic we'll be writing warning posters to warn others in our school about an escaped wolf.... Watch out!

In Maths, we'll be building on our learning from year 1 to be able to solve problems using place value. In Science we'll be looking at the scientist Mary Anning to explore habitats and micro habitats. We'll even do some exploring around the school to look at the habitats of insects.
