Welcome to the Frozen North!

This half term, Year 2 will journey to the Frozen North, exploring different places around the world and comparing our local area with Tromsø, Norway. Through their Geography learning, children will discover how people live in different environments and develop their understanding of the wider world.

In English, pupils will write stories inspired by other cultures, explore friendship through poetry and create descriptive writing based on The Dog that Saved Christmas. They will also investigate seasonal changes in Science and continue developing their skills in addition, subtraction and shape in Maths. 

Creative learning includes collage artwork, digital photography, cooking a healthy savoury dish in DT, and exploring orchestral instruments in Music. Children will also learn about online safety, discover the Jewish festival of Sukkot and create a class heritage book celebrating the uniqueness of their families. 

Highlights of the term include a local village study linked to Geography and preparations for the KS1 Nativity performance. We look forward to a half term full of exploration, creativity and discovery.
