Welcome to Class 2
Our topic this term is Africa!
In literacy, we will be reading lots of African stories, and having a go at writing our own. We will also be thinking about African animals, which will lead to poetry writing and a discussion text about zoos.
In maths, we are focusing on addition and subtraction, and multiplication and division, using White Rose, as well as lots of practice of times tables, number bonds and doubling/halving!
Our science learning is light and shadow, and in Art we will be looking at African masks, before making our own. In Music, we will be listening to and performing lots of African music and learning all about layering, with different rhythms and chants - we are even going to be using African drums! We will also do lots of singing (as always!).
