Class L2

Welcome to L2

Topic Description - Summer (2) 2021

All that glitters is not gold! Is it shiny? Does it sparkle? It's time to find out more about materials and their properties.

This half term, we'll hunt for missing treasure and discuss whether the treasure we find is shiny or not. We'll watch how shiny objects catch the Sun when we hang them outside, and we'll group and sort different objects. From what are they made? For what are they used? We'll also find out about stars and how to clean tarnished copper coins. In literacy, we'll sing and play instruments along to the nursery rhyme, Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, and we'll use tools to write letters and numbers in foil. Using our maths skills, we'll write numbers in sequins and build structures out of shiny 2-D and 3-D shapes, naming the shapes and sorting them by size. Getting creative, we'll become glitter monsters as we explore the texture and appearance of glitter, bake a batch of firework cookies, make space rocks and mould twinkle lamps out of clay.

At the end of the project, we'll look back on what we've learnt about shiny and non-shiny objects and make a display out of our twinkle lamps. Where will we hang them so they sparkle the most?
