Matisse-Year 2

Welcome to Matisse - Year 2!

Welcome to the Matisse class page of our school website!

This half term, our Key Concept is Belonging. The children will explore what it means to belong, where they belong, and the different groups they are part of. You can find out more about how our curriculum connects with this concept in the Autumn term Curriculum Overview below. Our curriculum is designed around this concept while also covering a broad range of subjects:

Design Technology: The children will research, design, and make two fruit salads using specific ingredients.
PE: In indoor sessions, we will focus on linking movements and balances to create and perform sequences both individually and in groups. Outdoor sessions will develop football skills, including dribbling, ball control, and accuracy.
Computing: Children will learn how to edit and present information using Purple Mash, alongside key online safety skills.
RSHE: Our focus will be on families and the people who care for us.
Music: Hands, Feet Heart. As well as learning to sing, play, improvise and compose with this song, children will listen and appraise different styles of South African music.
Science: We will explore the basic needs of humans and animals and how these change as they grow.
RE: We will focus on God, looking at the story of Jonah and considering how Christians use stories to guide their everyday lives.
