Our topic throughout Autumn Term was 'Fire.' We learnt about what life was like in 1666 and the events that unfolded in Pudding Lane. Within Geography we explore London, our capital city as we learnt about the countries that make up the United Kingdom. Our 'Fire' unit was woven through our learning across the curriculum. In D.T our sewing focus had a distinctively Cornish element as we sewed our very own Goolans to use within Cornish language lessons. We explored the works of local artist Sir Terry Frost and used this as inspiration for our own Great Fire of London compositions. Dance saw us moving to music and working collaboratively with our peers to choreograph a dance to represent the flickering flames of a fire. 

In Spring Term our topic will be 'Sensational Safari.' We will look to compare life in Africa to life in the United Kingdom. Year 2 will create their own African folk tales inspired by their shared reading and writing in English lessons. Maple and Willow Classes will design and make their own safari vehicles and create a painted African sunset with an animal silhoutte. Spring Term will also bring with it the excitement of St. Piran's Day and World Book Day. What fun we will have!
