Term 3

Class: Year 2 Year: 2019-20

In the summer term we begin ‘Down in the Jungle’ – hoping that the weather will be as warm as it is in the jungle!

We begin by learning how to write jungle animal riddles and move on to find out all about Steve Irwin who raised awareness for conservation and respecting animals.

After the half term we move on to ‘Is there life on Mars?’ – A topic all about the wonder of space.

We look at the first journeys into space by Yuri Gagarin and Neil Armstrong as well as a focus on the Mars Rover and what it’s life on Mars is like and why it is there.

We also have a think about what life in space might be like, looking at the experiences of Chris Hadfield on the ISS and even make a space sandwich!

This year we have been lucky enough to have a potato-growing competition between Year 1 and Year 2 – we have been tending to ours very carefully and hope to get the most potatoes!
