Topic

AUTUMN TERM 2019

RESCUE ME!

A warm welcome to Year Two.  We hope you have all had a lovely summer.

In the Autumn term we will begin with a topic focused on looking at castles and stories (traditional and modern) that are inspired by people that need rescuing from places!  We will look at 'ZOG' by Julia Donaldson who is a young dragon at school who rescues a princess and link this to work on what kinds of activities we do in the different years in school.  The princess in this story decides she wants to be a doctor and we will explore different jobs that people we know do.  Please let us know if you would be happy to come into class to talk briefly about the job that you do.

We will then move to look at castles in our local area and beyond and use this to secure their Geography of the United Kingdom.  The children will look at who lives in castles and the role of knights in medieval history.

It's going to be an exciting term.  Please send in any resources/ideas from home that you think will enhance our topic.  I have posted a link below to a Liverpool Echo article detailing local castles to visit.  Please let us know if you visit any and share the experiences.
