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! 

This half term in Malvern class we are learning about The Seaside! Zeraffa Giraffa is a true story about a giraffe given as a

gift to the King of France by the Pasha of Egypt. We will be focussing on our persuasive writing; recapping the structure of a letter and considering how we convince people to come and see the giraffe. We will also consider how characters are feeling as they see this new creature for the first time. We will be revisiting some of our work on Egypt and Paris from this year and last.

Our History focus this half term is on the Seaside. We will explore how seaside holidays have changed since they were made popular in the Victorian era and if there are any elements that have stayed the same. We will look at primary historical evidence to make our comparisons and consider what life would have been like in the Victorian era.

This half term in Science we will be returning to our work on plants. This half term will focus on naming parts of a plant and embedding their use within the photosynthesis cycle. There will be more growing opportunities and we will continue to observe our bulbs in our grow table. We will also link our plants knowledge to our history work and consider how plants are adapted to live in and by the sea.

In RE this half term we will be exploring sacred places. We will consider different religious buildings – the church, the synagogue and the mosque and how those spaces support each religious denomination in their worship. We will as part of this go and visit our own church to see the features in person.

Both the Y2s and Y3s will be focussing on our RSE curriculum this half term.

The Year 2s this will be about how they can keep themselves safe, how to phone the emergency services and respecting each other’s personal boundaries. For the Year 3s, there will also be a safety element as we focus on road safety, some basic first aid and how other people can try to influence us.
