Welcome to Year 2. 

We are Beech Class!

The adults in Beech Class are Miss Shoukat and Mrs Ali (Monday morning).

What are we learning about in Spring 1?

In Maths, we will be learning how to multiply and divide. Alongside this, we will continue practicing the 2 times table. 

In Englishwe will be reading the story 'Inside The Villains'. Our learning journey will lead us to writing a character description about one of the villains from the book. 

In Science, we will be exploring the question ‘How do we decide what things are made of?’. We will be investigating different objects, materials, and their properties. 

In Geography, our big question is ‘Why is Bradford an exciting place to live?’. We will be exploring the physical features and human features of Bradford. We will be using maps to help us locate these features. We will also be explaining the differences between towns, villages and cities. 

In RE, our overall question is ‘What is the good news Jesus brings?’. We will be looking at the different kinds of peace there are. We will also be thinking about how to forgive and be part of a community. In order to support our learning, we will be visiting Shipley Baptist Church.

In PSHE, we will be thinking about what jobs people do. We will be exploring the different jobs people may have and the personal qualities required for these jobs. We will think about the digital devices people will need to use in each job. To support our understanding of different jobs, we will have visits from people in different jobs. For example, from the local fire service. 

Our big question in Computing is ‘How we can stay safe online?’. We will be learning about the various ways we can protect ourselves when we are online. 

Our question in DT is ‘Can we make a fruit salad that will help young children to eat healthily?’. We will develop our understanding of the Eatwell plate. We will look at how food is sourced and prepared.  Using this information, we will be designing and making our own fruit salads.

In PE we will be working on our ball skills and begin to play some target games. 

In Music, the song we will be working on is ‘I wanna play in a band’.
