Spring Term 2026

Home and Away

Happy New Year to everyone in Year 2!

We look forward to hearing about everything you've done over the Christmas holiday and the presents that Father Christmas has given you.

Our topic this term is 'Home and Away' which is a Geography based topic. To begin our topic, we will be creating a simple map of of Lincoln using basic map symbols. Through looking at maps and aerial views, we will learn about Lincoln and the key physical and human features that can be found in the city. Additionally, the children will learn that the United Kingdom is made up of four distinct countries, each with their own capital city. Moving away from the UK, the children will be looking at the seven continents of the world as well as the major oceans, The Equator and the North and South Poles. The children will then look at Africa, with a particular focus on Kenya. They will find out about the Kenyan city of Mombasa and a Maasai village, identifying features that are similar and different to Lincoln, including looking at the jobs available.

For this term, our PE days will be on a Tuesday and Friday.

Marvellous Materials

Welcome back Year 2!

We hope you've had a fantastic holiday and look forward to hearing about the things you've done, especially as the weather has been so kind to us over the summer.

Our topic this term is 'Marvellous Materials' which is a Science based topic. We'll be investigating the properties of a range of materials and discussing their suitability for making everyday objects. This knowledge will then be applied to our Design Technology work, where we'll be making Plop the Owl from the book 'The Owl who was Afraid of the Dark' by Jill Tomlinson. We'll also be using this book in our English lessons.

Bright Sparks

Welcome back Year 2! We hope you had a great Easter break.

Our topic this term is a History based topic called 'Bright Sparks.'

We will spend the first half term learning about the Great Fire of London, exploring where, when and how it started and the reasons why it spread so quickly. We will learn about Samuel Pepys and how important his diary is as a source of information about the fire. In the second half term, we will learn about Sir Isaac Newton, Christopher Columbus and Amelia Earhart and explore why they are significant people. Our Art and DT projects will take will also be linked to our history learning. In Art, we will be taking inspiration from Eric Carle's collage techniques to create a collage of a scene from the Great Fire of London. In DT, we will be learning about the features of Tudor houses, then designing and making our own.

For the first half term, our PE days are Tuesday and Friday.
