Spring 1
Towers, Tunnels and Turrets
We are excited to introduce our new topic.
See the castle ahead? Get ready to invade its mighty walls. Shoot a projectile with an archer’s aim. Head across the drawbridge, over the moat and up to the top of the tower. Meet Rapunzel who lives in a tall, tall tower. Let’s build a brand new one. Whose is the tallest? Can you measure it? Then dig deep, deep down, making burrows and tunnels, just like the animals who live underground. What’s that sound? I hear little hooves going trip, trap, trip, trap, over the rickety bridge. Watch out for the angry troll underneath. He likes to gobble up little girls and boys. Make sure your bridge is sturdy enough to take our weight and get us safely to the other side. And finally, meet three little pigs who need your help to build a strong fortress. Inside its strong walls, they’ll be safe from the big, bad wolf. No huffing and puffing will blow your fortress down.
Our first exciting topic, Movers and Shakers, will teach the children about a range of historically significant people who have had a major impact on the world. The companion project, Still Life, will teach the children about the work of significant still life artists and their work. The children will learn about colour and composition.
To support your child with their reading and writing it is important they spend some time each week learning the Year 2 Common Exception words.
