Class 6 with Mrs Williams
Welcome to Year 2!
Welcome back! We hope you enjoyed a relaxing half term. What an exciting term we have in store! We can’t wait to share with you our Christmas nativity ‘A twinkly nativity’ which will be performed on our new stage. We will also be celebrating with Christmas parties and Christmas art. Before all that fun though we have lots of exciting work to get through!
Autumn 2 2024
English
In English we will be writing poems using onomatopoeia based around Bonfire Night. We will then be looking at an alternative version of ‘The three little pigs’ and the children will be writing a story based on this. We will then look at the instructions of how to build a house.
Maths
In maths the children will be focusing on the addition and subtraction of numbers and finding the most efficient way to do this. We will then be starting to look at the 2, 5 and 10 times tables! Time to get practising on Times Tables Rockstars!
Geography
In Geography we will be answering the question ‘What is it like to live in Brazil?’ We will bridge back to the names of the seven continents and five oceans and look at the physical and human features that can be seen in Brazil. The children will decide where they would prefer to live. Rio or Wilmslow!
Science
In Science we will be looking materials. The children will be finding different materials around the school and finding the properties of these materials. We will also look at the suitability of materials for their purpose.
Art
In Art we will be looking at the artist David Hockney and seeing how technology can be used to create a piece of art. The children will use shapes and different tools to design a Christmas card.
RE
Pupils will learn the importance of the Christmas story to Christians and the different way it is celebrated.
Music
In music the children will learn that dynamic is used to describe the volume of their singing voice. They will also learn how to sing loudly or quietly to be able to perform the Christmas show songs.
Computing
In computing we will learn to use a paint program and how they can use clip art and different tools to create variety. This will link to our lessons where children will make a Christmas card.
P.S.H.E
We will be using ‘My happy Mind’ to look at how our brains work. They will see how team HAP can help them to make the right choices. We will also be looking at the importance of friends and family in our lives.

We will be working on agility, balance and coordination skills.
