Academic Year 2025-26

Welcome to Class 2!

Here's where you can take an insight into our exciting topics and learning, find out important information about Class 2 and brush up on your phonics knowledge with help from our support videos. 

Topic 3

CHINA

Over the next 6 weeks we're going to embark on an adventure exploring the amazing country of China, the materials all around us, and how we can use them to create something super cool – a moving monster! We’ll explore some famous landmarks like the Great Wall of China, and we’ll also learn about the animals that live there, like the giant panda! We’ll dive into materials and their properties, exploring lots of different materials like wood, fabric, and plastic to see how they behave and how we can use them in our creations.  We will have busy hands as we design and make our very own moving monsters! We’ll use the materials we’ve learned about to build mechanisms that make our monsters move.

Topic 2

Marvellous Materials

Get ready to explore the everyday materials all around us — from shiny metals to bendy plastics and soft fabrics. We’ll test out what they can do, find out which are the strongest, stretchiest, or most waterproof, and see why different materials are used for different things.

We’ll become mini designers and weavers, using different materials to create our own colourful woven patterns. We’ll find out how people have been weaving for thousands of years and have a go at making our own amazing woven creations.

We’ll also learn how to look after our bodies by eating a balanced diet. We’ll sort foods into their groups, find out what our bodies need to stay strong and healthy, and design a tasty, balanced snack

By the end of the topic, we’ll be material experts, crafty weavers, and healthy eaters — ready to make, test, and taste our way through learning!

Topic 1

Beach Combers

Pack your buckets and spades – we’re heading to the seaside! In our exciting new topic, Beach Combers, we’ll be exploring the wonders of the UK coast. From the sandy shores to the crashing waves, we’ll discover what it's like to live by the sea and find out which amazing animal groups call it their home.

We’ll learn all about the creatures that scuttle, swim, and soar around our coasts, and dive into the different seas that surround the UK. You’ll become seaside scientists, spotting patterns in nature and asking curious questions.

And that’s not all! We'll use our imaginations and engineering skills to design and build our very own ferris wheels, just like the ones you might see at a seaside fairground.
