School Year 2025 - 2026

Autumn Term 2025

Welcome to the Year 2 page. We have a busy term planned with some adventures to support us answer the question: What wonders lie in the Enchanted Woods? Please read the topic web below to find out all of the fun learning opportunities that we have planned. 

English

We are looking at Poetry this term. Looking at riddles and the characters they describe. We saw some clues and we think we know who might have visited our class! It was the Gruffalo.

Maths

In Place Value we are exploring the total a number represents. We will use manipulatives (counters including Base 10) as well as drawings to show our representations.

Music

The children have been learning all about pitch for the past two weeks. They have spoken about high and low pitch looking at how that is different to loud and quiet volume. Year 2 have learnt a song about a cat, adding actions as we went along.  

DT

As we have a Forest School Trip planned this term, we will be taking a healthy sandwich to enjoy whilst we are there. First, we need to find out popular sandwich fillings before we decide which flavour to make. 

Science

What is a plant? We will label and identify their parts as well as be able to explain their purpose and use. We will look around the village to find plants and see if we can name some common plants including trees. 

Geography 

We will explore maps, read maps using a key. From this, we will explore an 'enchanted woods' and show this in a birds-eye view map. 

Art

Andy Goldsworthy is a well-known Artist who creates sculptures using natural materials. We will imitate this style and create a range of autumnal pictures and sculptures with materials we find. 

Phonics
