Geography – How is the country where I live different to other countries?

Class 2 have been learning all about the UK, and how its human and physical Geography can be similar or different to other parts of the world.

At the beginning of the unit the children brought in lots of maps and globes. They learnt about the 5 continents then used their globes and maps to find these.

The next task was to find the North Pole, South Pole and equator on a globe. The children found out that hot countries are located near the equator, and countries with a colder climate are further away. In the next lesson, Class 2 began to find out about Ecuador. They used their knowledge about the equator to work out whether it was a hot or cold country, and compared human and physical Geography features to the U.K.

  Everyone enjoyed taking part in a scavenger hunt, to find the facts and compare the capital of Ecuador (Quito) to London. Finally, the class used digital maps to identify human and physical Geography features. They particularly enjoyed being able to find their own houses using the maps.

  

  

Art - Colour Splash

We have been looking at mixing colours our Art lessons. We had great fun letting 2 primary colours run into each other to see which secondary colour it would make. We also explored what happens when we mix 2 secondary colours, and when we add black or white to a colour. Next we thought about texture and tried out different tools to create a variety of textures.

  

  

 

Science - Why Are Things Made From Different Materials?

We have been exploring the materials that different objects are made out of and why. We found lots of different materials were used to make things in our classroom and in the buildings around us. We identified the materials used to make different objects and then sorted those materials to feed the box monsters the correct material that they liked to eat.

 

Maths - Place Value

Year 2 have been looking at the value of numbers. We used equipment to split up numbers into tens and ones. We also took our lesson outside and used our equipment to create number lines counting in tens.
