Year 2

This term, we are looking forward to an exciting journey of discovery across two very different islands! We will begin by enjoying a range of Katie Morag stories, exploring the characters and settings, and learning how the tales are inspired by the beautiful Hebridean Isle of Coll.

In our humanities lessons, we will find out more about Coll by investigating its human and physical features. We will also explore how tourists can travel there and what kind of weather they might experience.

We will then travel (through our reading!) to a very different place as we enjoy the story Gregory Cool, about a boy visiting his grandparents in Tobago. Using both locations, we will compare the geographical features of these two contrasting islands.

This term is also all about getting outdoors and making the most of our environment. We will be exploring the school grounds to discover the animals that live there through activities such as bird watching, pond dipping and bug hunting. We’ll even get our hands dirty with some planting in our vegetable garden—perfect for budding gardeners!

It’s set to be a fun and engaging term full of exploration,

creativity and outdoor learning.
