Year 2

This term, our topic is Once Upon a Time, and all of our learning will be linked to this exciting theme. In History and Geography, we will explore castles, kings and queens, locating castles in Suffolk as well as those further afield. We will also learn about the four countries of the United Kingdom, their capital cities and the surrounding seas. In addition to this, we will also look at climate zones and learn about hot and cold places around the world.   The children will investigate the structure and features of different castles, discover the roles of the people who lived and worked within them, and find out what daily life in a castle was like, including jousting tournaments and grand banquets.  In English, we will study a range of traditional tales, many of which feature castles, and use these stories to develop the children’s writing skills.
