English

Our core text this half-term is Man on the Moon (a day in the life of Bob), by Simon Bartram.

We will use the text to write character and setting descriptions, write recounts in the role of Bob, and to inspire our own stories based on the plot.

Science
 

This half term we will be learning about plants. We will start our topic by revisiting what we learnt in Year 1, showing what we already know about plants. We will plant seeds and observe how they grow and change over time, testing how plants grow depending on variable conditions. We will then learn more about the different parts of plants and their functions.

We also went on a minibeast hunt in forest school to look for different micro-habitats. We collected data and recorded what we found. We talked about the features of different micro-habitats and why different minibeasts are suited to them.

D.T
 

In D.T we will design and make a moving vehicle. We will start by looking at vehicles and investigate how they move. Using construction kits we will then create a product that moves. We will problem solve when we are building. Then we will explore wheels, axles and axle holders.  This will help us create a design for our Moon Buggy. We will then create our design and evaluate our finished product.

We will explore how the different parts of a church are used during worship, and design and built our own church models. 
We will look at the different communities that we belong to and discuss why they matter to us.
