Our Year 2 Curriculum
Autumn TermDuring the first part of our autumn term, children in Year 2 explore the topic - Wriggle and Crawl. Children explore different kinds of minibeasts and where you may find them. In art, children sketch a range of minibeasts and create their own out of clay. In Geography, children explore where to find particular minibeasts in the both in the UK and other countries. This allows the children to discuss hot and cold habitats, using their prior learning.
In Science, children explore the topic - Animals Including Humans. Children focus on animals and their offspring. They also look at which animals lay eggs and which do not. Children also learn about habitats.
