Dear Parent/ Carer,
I would like to take this opportunity to let you know what topics Class 2 will be covering throughout the Summer Term 2019.
Literacy: This term we will be doing an author study on Roald Dahl. We are making our own in-class library of his books, so if you have any you would like to bring in please feel free to do so. Remember to name the books so they find their way back home.
Numeracy: The children will be learning about different units of measure and learning properties of 2d and 3d shape. They will also be using the four operations for problem solving.
Science: This term the children will learn about local habitats and learn about mini-beasts. They will continue their investigation of plants, looking specifically at deciduous and evergreen trees.

In art we will be looking at patterns in nature, making a collage using natural materials and looking at the work of the artist Matisse. In cookery they will be making a fruit salad to complement their science learning about plants.
