Welcome to Irchester Class...
In Irchester class you will always find our year 2 children actively involved and engaged with their learning. Their class teacher is Miss Arnold and their full time teaching assistant is Miss Errington. In the Summer term the class theme is title ‘Pole to Pole’. Throughout the topic the children will have the opportunity to learn about the Arctic and the animals that live there as well as freezing Antarctica and the explorers who travelled there. In science, they will be investigating different materials to make mittens for a polar explorer and find out how animals have adapted to live in the Arctic. Later on during the topic the children will find out about the adventures of Captain Scott during this expedition to Antarctica. They will have the opportunity to create energy bars to fuel explorers during their travels. We have lots of exciting learning opportunities planned and we hope to round up the topic with a themed trip.
