Malvern Class (Year 2, 3)
Welcome to Malvern Class!
In Malvern Class Years 2, and 3 work together to create an inspiring learning environment. Our class is taught by Miss Brown and we are supported by fantastic teaching assistants throughout the day. We strive to make learning fun and interactive and build a nurturing environment as the children move into KS1 from EYFS.
The children in Malvern Class benefit from regularly having a sports coach to support their PE and tournaments within our sports partnership. Music is a passion of Miss Brown's so there's always a song to learn or an instrument to play!
What are we doing this half term?
To start our English work this half term, we will be reading the Dragon Machine. We will adapt the story by considering
our own inventions and machines to adventure in. We will also develop our use of language, revising the use of adjectives
to create expanded noun phrases and ensuring the fundamentals of sentence structure are secure – capital letters, full stops, finger spaces and the beginnings of additional punctuation for the Y2s.
In History we will be comparing the reigns of Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II. We will start by understanding what a “monarchy” is and briefly explore where our monarchy comes from before exploring the impact Victoria and Elizabeth had on their subjects, and how life changed in their record breaking time on the throne.
This term in Science we will be exploring Materials and their uses. The children will learn about the uses of materials,
their properties and will have the opportunity to conduct experiments on waterproofing and construction.
This half term we will be considering the creation story and what this teaches Christians about God and the world
around us. We will use this as a chance to explore the natural spaces around school, encouraging the children to appreciate God’s creation around us.
Throughout this year we will be expanding our musical instrument skills on our new chromatic glockenspiels. Each half term will focus on a different musical style from around the world, with the core skills of reading and writing musical notation, playing in time, singing and developing musicality. Our first theme is the music of South Africa.
