Year 2
Welcome to Daisy Class! We have some exciting topics to learn about this year and lots of fun activities and trips to look forward to. It’s going to be a great year!
This half term our topic will be Beat, Band, Boogie! We’ll be stepping in time to the beat and learning all about music. We will listen to a music ensemble, identify pulse, rhythm and pitch, and move in time to the music. Leading and following instructions will help us make percussion instruments and we will also design our own. We are learning nursery rhymes including The Grand Old Duke of York as we read the story of The Steadfast Tin Soldier.
Our bodies will turn into instruments as we try to master the art of body percussion. Children will learn lots of new songs and write lyrics and tunes of their own. We will listen carefully to different sounds outdoors, test our sense of hearing and find out how far different sounds can travel.
On this page you will find further information regarding each subject area and what we will be covering throughout the term on the Topic Web.
We hope you can join us for our class ‘Express’ events throughout the year. Our first Express is on 17th October at 2.30pm.
