Welcome to Swallows 2!

Autumn Term 2 2025

Our geography-led topic this half-term is 'Our Wonderful World'.  We will name the seven continents and research the climate, landmarks and the endangered animals living there. We will locate and name the five oceans. We will use a range of maps, digital maps and atlases to help us.  In DT, we will be evaluating an existing product, designing and making wraps from around the world. We will learn about food groups and complimentary foods to help us make good, delicious choices. 
In English, we will be writing a part-narrative based around the story 'Jack and the Baked Beanstalk' by Colin Stimpson. In our non-fiction unit, we will write a set of instructions: 'How to Plant a Sunflower'

 In Maths, we will be developing our calculation skills.

Our Class Novel is 'The Owl who was Afraid of the Dark' by Jill Tomlinson.

P.E. Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon.

Please make sure that your child has the correct kit in school.

How you can help... listen to your child read every day, talk about the text and any new words you find! Log in to Oxford Owl and help your child find their ebook. If your child is in the guided reading group, they should change their book at least once per week. Please sign their reading record book. For maths, practise counting forwards and backwards in steps of 2, 5, 10 from zero.

Forest School:
Forest school will be held on Thursday afternoons. Children attending Forest School should come to school wearing old clothes on Thursdays.
