We will be testing a variety of games using the ‘Scratch’ program, working out the rules that apply to each game then testing our ideas. We will also be taking the role of researchers and learn how to locate information safely, as well as developing our use of iPads and technology throughout a range of lessons.

The children will learn about percussion instruments (both tuned and untuned, e.g. drums and glockenspiels). There will be a focus on dynamics, pitch and duration as well as the opportunity to compose their own music.
MORAL EDUCATION We have reviewed and updated our MELS provision and planning this year. In addition to teaching the School Code of Conduct, School Values, emotional literacy through ‘Little Spot of Emotion’, Restorative Justice and the topic of ‘Relationships’ on the BSAK Wellbeing Wheel, we will be teaching the Moral Education themes alongside the sequential topics from our new Jigsaw PHSE programme. In the first term, these topics will include: Being Me in My World (who am I and how do I fit?), Celebrating Difference (respect for similarity and difference, anti-bullying and being unique), and Character and Morality.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION Gymnastics this term will focus on mat work. Children will experience and learn a selection of balances, jumps and rolls, then look to link the skills together while building a gymnastics sequence. Fundamental Movement Skills this term will focus on the transferable skills such as running, skipping, jumping and dodging. Children will then look to apply them to small sided games. Swimming this term will focus on water confidence and stroke development.
SPANISH In the first term, we are introduced to the Spanish flag and the Hispanic world. We learn how to greet people and ask how they are feeling. We will also learn the numbers 1-10, how to spell them and some cultural knowledge about Spanish names. All lessons contain games, songs and fun activities. There may even be guest appearances from Bruno the bull, our Spanish assistant.
HELPING HOME You can help your child at home in many ways. By using Seesaw, you will be able to keep up to date with the latest class and Year Group information. Hearing your child read is also very important. In Year 2 we will look in particular at reading comprehension, so please talk to your child about what they have read.
HUMANITIES Our main focus will be developing our research skills through an in depth study of the Great Fire of London. Investigating the causes and how it impacted on the city and its residents.
