Year 2 Term 1

Autumn Term 2025
Science this Term
 
In Year Two we love all things Science! We have been exploring the big question 'How Are Materials Chosen in Design?' We have carried out a number of investigations, exploring how difficult materials can be reused or recycled. We tested the stretchiness of different materials to see which would be best for a sock to pull over a plaster cast. 
Geography This Term
 
In Geography we have been exploring the big question 'How can we describe India and Australia?' We learnt about the human features of India, such as the desert and the River Ganges. We looked at human features and famous landmarks such as the Taj Mahal. The children created weather reports about India and worked in groups to produce posters about Indian Animals. During the second half of this term we will do the same about Australia and then compare the two. 
P4C Homework Task
 
This term our P4C question was 'Why are pirates and other criminals such popular characters in stories?' 
 
The children prepared super responses ranging from poster, power-points and even a video from the seaside. The opinions varied but general consensus was that these characters added mystery, adventure and an opportunity to learn about morals and values. What do you think?
