Autumn 1:

Where will they go and what will they see?

Our class learning will be based around pirates exploring the world and the things that they will see! We will be learning about animals and their habitats and all the different continents that pirates might visit as they sail around the world.

Some of the main things that we will be learning about are:

A major focus will be Geography and will include: Maps and atlases
Directions and positional language
Our local area
York and other countries and cities
The 7 continents and 5 oceans
In art, we will be doing some printing
In RE, we will be looking at Judaism
In PE we will be doing both dance and learning game skills
In computing, we will be focusing on learning how to use the iPads and Chromebooks as well as how to use Bug Club and TT Rocks
In Science, we are looking at animals and habitats around the world

What a busy start to Year 2! All the children have settled brilliantly and have been learning lots. We started our Geography topic by learning all about Acomb and York and have explored our local area. The open top river cruise was amazing! We will be finding out all about the continents of the world and we have started learning all about the Polar Regions which we have linked to all the knowledge we learnt in Year 1 about the Arctic.

We have been reading stories about Pirates, who have travelled the 7 continents, and a few of our favourites are bellow. We also loved taking part in Talk like a Pirate day!!!

Night Pirates Our learning will be based around this story for the first few weeks
