Foundation Subjects
Science
As scientists, we are getting ready to explore movement and nutrition! We’ll be building on everything we learnt in Key Stage 1 and finding out how our bodies move and what they need to stay healthy and strong. We’ll learn all about how our muscles and skeletons work together like a brilliant team to help us run, jump, stretch, and play every day. We’ll also be discovering what our bodies need to keep going. We’ll explore nutrition and learn about different food groups, why we need a balanced diet, and how food gives us the energy to move. We’ll find out which foods help our muscles grow, keep our bones strong, and fuel our brains for learning.
Geography
As geographers, we are getting ready to explore and compare the United Kingdom and North America! We’ll be discovering where both places are on the map, what the landscapes look like, and how the climates can be completely different. We’ll find out about mountains, rivers, cities, and famous landmarks. From the rolling hills of the UK to the enormous Rocky Mountains and bustling cities of North America.
Design and Technology
As designers, we are getting ready to explore the exciting world of alarms! We’ll be investigating how different alarms work, what they are used for, and why they are so important in keeping people safe. We’ll look closely at simple electrical circuits, switches, and buzzers to understand how alarms make sound when something happens. We’ll be designing and creating our very own alarm systems! We’ll learn how to plan our ideas, choose materials, and build a working product that solves a real problem. We can’t wait to experiment, test our circuits, and see how changing parts can make our alarms louder, quicker, or more effective.
French
As French learners, we are getting ready to talk all about the activities we do. We’ll be learning how to say things like I am able to dance, cook, ice skate, and sing. We’ll even be able to say that we enjoy speaking French, all by using simple French sentences. We’ll practise our new words through games, songs, and speaking activities that help us remember them and say them confidently.
Computing
As digital learners, we are getting ready to explore how to use email safely and responsibly! We’ll be learning what email is used for, how to create and send messages, and how to open and respond to emails carefully. We’ll find out why it’s important to use clear subject lines and polite language. We can’t wait to practise sending emails in a safe classroom environment and discover how digital communication helps people connect all over the world!
PSHE
This term we’re finding out all about rights and respect. We’ll be finding out what our rights are, why they matter, and how they help everyone feel safe, included, and valued. We’ll also learn about the responsibilities that go alongside our rights, like being kind, listening to others, and treating people with fairness. Through discussions, stories, and teamwork, we’ll discover how our actions can show respect at school, at home, and in the wider community.
