Moomin Year 2 Class
Welcome to Year 2! What an exciting year we have ahead!
I hope you’re just as excited about the year ahead as I am!
In Moomin Class, we encourage a can-do attitude. We value kindness, teamwork, and becoming confident, inquisitive learners.
Throughout the year, there will be a strong focus on Reading, Writing, and Maths, with these subjects usually taught in the morning. In the afternoons, we’ll explore our topic-based learning, as well as enjoy weekly Art/DT, PSHE, RE, Computing, and Music lessons.
We have many exciting topics to look forward to!
- In History, we’ll begin with The Story of the High Street, discovering how Harpenden has changed over time.
- In Geography, we’ll explore Our Local Area, which ties in perfectly with our history learning.
- Moving into the Spring term, we’ll learn all about Walter Tull and why he was such a significant figure during WW2. In Geography, we’ll study the people and places of Australia.
- By the Summer term, our History topic will be Changes in Living Memory, where we’ll look at inventions through time. In Geography, we’ll take a closer look at the vibrant city of Hong Kong.
In Key Stage 1, we’re also encouraging independence. Please ensure your child brings their pencil case, reading book & reading record, and a bottle of water every day. At the beginning of each day, children will have time to unpack and change their own reading books if needed.
I can’t wait to share a fun-filled, inspiring year with you all!
