I hope you all had an amazing Easter break and enjoyed the many treats, celebration holidays and days out I know you had planned. Welcome to term 5. We seem to have come round to here so quickly. This term promises to be another full one with lots of learning and experiences to be had. Here is an overview of what we will be getting up to in Kingfishers this term.

We are looking at Economic Well being in PSHE - looking at the different ways money is earnt, saved and used - this is new to Year 2 and I am looking forward to investing the different areas with the children. 

In Maths, we are continuing with mass, capacity and temperature learning and I have some fun ways in mind to show the different areas. We will also be be introducing fractions, playing what's the time Mr Wolf and looking at more problem solving skills using the 4 operations of multiplication, division, addition and subtraction. 

In English our book this term is The Bog Baby (please keep this a secret as I have a trip to Barnsdale Blue Bell woods planned to see if we can spot him, This is a story of learning to care for something different and the importance of knowing when to tell someone a secret so that they can help resolve a problem. We will be writing a setting description, creating our own creature and a set of instructions on how to look after it.

RE has us looking at why we should care to the world and the impact it can have if we do not try to.

History finds us travelling back to the year 1666, where we will be learning all about the great fire of London and what lessons were learnt that meant changes needed to made to help keep London safe.

Enrichment will be a change to overview, we will be cooking this term. Following recipes and using our maths knowledge to help with the weights and measure required to make some delicious treats. 

PE in Term 5 will continue to be on a Tuesday and Thursday where we will be introducing Athletics and creating another Dance performance for you to enjoy.

Computing - this term computing will be looking at stop motion.
