This Autumn Term, we will be settling back into school and thinking about the year ahead. We start off with an art focus, looking at using secondary colours to show tone. Children will practise different shading techniques and experiment with colour mixing to create a realistic still-life drawing of an apple.

​

Following art, we move on to writing, looking at re-telling a traditional tale, Jack and the Beanstalk. Children will be refining their sentences, ensuring they are accurately punctuated and beautifully presented. They will also be thinking creatively, thinking about how they can entertain their readers with interesting characters and exciting vocabulary.

 

We end the half term looking at history and the construction of Shaldon Bridge back in 1930. We will be thinking about what life was like for the local community back then and during times when the bridge was rebuilt. 

​

After half-term, the focus shifts to science, looking at animals. And in the run-in to the Christmas holiday, it’s geography, looking at the area in which we live: Devon.

What an exciting term we have in store in Year 2!
