Autumn Term

This Autumn Term, we will be settling back into school and thinking about the year ahead, setting short-term, medium-term and long-term targets. How exciting to be starting our Year 2 journey together.

We start off with an art focus, looking in detail at the famous French artist, Paul Cézanne. We’ll be looking at shading and how we can use this skill to create 3D effects.

Following art, we move on to history, looking at the construction of Shaldon Bridge back in 1930. In October we also celebrate Black History Month and we’ll be writing biographies about Rosa Parks and enjoying looking at the book, Henry’s Freedom Box by Ellen Levine.

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. And finally, to get us in the Christmas spirit, we’ll be sharing Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol together in class.

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