Year 2 Topic Planning Select an activity from this grid to complete.

Design an Island English

There are over 10,000 islands in this continent, many of them are tiny and uninhabited. If you

discovered a new island, what would you build on it? Where would you live and what

would you grow to eat? Who would you invite to your island?

Money is no object so design your own island and describe what you have done to it and

why.

Snow English

Australia has a very warm climate and so it

hardly ever snows there. Write a letter to a

penpal in Australia telling them about snow. Remember to explain what snow is, when we get it, what it looks like and what you can do

in it. Or you could write a poem about snow. Poems don’t have to rhyme but they are

descriptive so create a word bank of great adjectives you can use first.

Aboriginal Art

Art Before canvasses were

used for art the

Aborigines would paint

their bodies or draw in

the sand both of which could be removed

easily as their pictures were so sacred, they

didn’t want westerners to see them. They

also used dots for their art to disguise the

sacred meanings of their pictures.

Using a cotton bud to make the dots, create

your own piece aboriginal art.

Commonwealth Citizenship/Geography

The Commonwealth is a group of 52

countries that have Queen Elizabeth II as

their Head of State. They work together to

support each other with making laws and

trade deals as well as ensuring democracy

and equality. 9 of the countries in Australasia

are in the Commonwealth including Australia

and New Zealand. Carry out some research

on the Commonwealth and see if you can

find some of the other countries that are

part of it.

Hakka Sport

New Zealand’s rugby team perform the Haka

before their international games. The Haka was

traditionally performed by Maori’s as they

prepared to go into battle and the All Blacks have

adopted it to scare their opposition!

See if you can learn a Haka.

Australian Christmas Dinner Food Technology

As Australia is on the opposite side of the world, their seasons are opposite too. This

means Christmas falls in their summer when it is really hot. Because of this most

Australians have a picnic for their Christmas dinner or even a bbq on the beach!

Plan your ideal Australian Christmas dinner, what would you eat? Don’t forget a starter

and dessert. Would you rather have a picnic or a bbq?

Flag Bunting Geography/Art

This is the last week to add to your bunting. Hopefully you have enjoyed

learning about and creating flags from around the world.

Australasia had 54 countries to choose from so have fun!

Make a Rainstick DT/Music

Rainsticks were traditionally used by tribes like the Aborigines. They believed that it would bring rain

for their crops during the dry seasons. Have a go at making your own. Here is a you tube clip or just get an inner tube from something like

cling film, push in some nails or pins and add dried pulses. Finally decorate it and bring the rain! Make sure your grown ups get the washing in

first! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0C-

Antarctica Fact File Geography

Antarctica is the coldest place on earth. It contains 90% of the world’s ice. It has so

little rainfall it is considered to be a desert! It also has volcanoes .What else can you find out about Antarctica. Present your findings

however you want: fact file, PowerPoint, poster, or quiz.

Some good sites for research are National Geographic for kids, Ducksters and BBC

bitesize.

Be an Explorer Many people have wanted to explore the

South Pole and Antarctica. The most famous being Roald Amundsen and

Ernest Shakleton. Imagine you are going to travel to the Antarctica. Plan your

adventure. What equipment would you need to take? Where would you sleep, what would you eat, what would you wear? How would you carry it all and

what do you think you would see? Happy planning!

Walk like a Penguin! For Fun!

Can you waddle like a penguin? Remember to keep your feet together. Now get a

ball and balance it on your feet. This is how they carry their eggs around as they

can’t make nests because there are no ‘building materials’ on Antarctica. Now try

and walk without dropping your ‘egg’.

Make your own Iceberg Science

90% of the earth’s ice is in Antarctica. The

largest iceberg ever recorded there weighed

1.4 trillion tonnes!

Make your own iceberg and see how only

10% of an iceberg is above water! Fill a

balloon or bag with water and freeze it.

Once frozen cut away the bag and float your

iceberg in some salty water. We would love

to see photos/videos of your experiment.

Best Antarctic Clothes Science

Can you discover which material would keep

you insulated against the outside weather for

longest?

Using ice cubes and different materials you

can find out. Wrap each ice cubes in a

different material You could try kitchen roll,

foil, a blanket, a towel, a pillow case and

bubble wrap. To make it a fair test you must

put all the ice cubes in the same place and

leave them for the same amount of time. The

ice cube that melts the least and therefore

kept coldest has the best insulating material.

This would work in reverse and the material

would also keep you warm against the cold

of the Antarctic.

Make a Penguin DT

You need a small plastic bottle (like a water bottle) and an old black sock. Put some water or sand into

your bottle to give it weight then put the bottle into the

sock cap first, then tie the sock at the bottom with an elastic band. This is now the penguin’s tail so you might want to trim it. Now give your penguin a white paper tummy, some eyes, an orange beak and feet and some black paper

flippers. You might even be able to make him a hat and scarf.

Climate Change - Animal Adaptations

Science/Environmental Awareness Climate change is what happens when people’s

actions affect the Earth’s atmosphere, things like chemicals from car exhausts or factories going

into the air. Those chemicals then trap heat close to the earth and make the whole planet warmer. Antarctica is affected more than other places as

the ice is melting very slowly and animals like penguins have less to live on.

Activity 1 - because of changes animals need to adapt. How might a penguin adapt to be able to live in water more and on ice less? Will it change physically? Will it change what it eats? Where will

it lay its eggs? Draw a penguin and label the features that might change to enable it to carry on

living in Antarctica.

Climate Change – What can you do?

Science/ Environmental Awareness People in charge of countries around the world are trying to make changes to stop

climate change but there are things we can do too. We all need to use less electricity and power and reduce the amount of chemicals

we release into the atmosphere. Activity 2 – What could you do at home to help reduce the amount of energy we use? Think about your home, your car and your

holidays. Make a poster showing how we can do our

bit to help stop climate change.
