History - We are beginning to learn about space travel in history. Art- We will be using chalks and pastels to create a sense of movement.
Other Information	Please can we have any empty, clean yogurt pots for our science. We will also be asking for tissue boxes later in the term so please keep collecting. Many Thanks, The Year 2 Team.

Please note this is a basic overview of the planning for this week. It is impossible to cover in this outline all the learning that takes place during a week! We also believe in listening to your children and responding to their interests and ideas therefore all our planning is flexible. Please note some of the learning will take place across more than one week and during some weeks the learning focus may not cover all curriculum areas.
