LKS2 Curriculum

Spring 2 2026

This half term in Lower Key Stage 2, the children have been busy exploring a range of exciting topics across the curriculum.

In History, we have been learning about Ancient Egypt. The children discovered why the Ancient Egyptians believed mummification was important and even took part in a practical activity where they mummified tomatoes to help them understand the preservation process. They also explored different artefacts found in Howard Carter’s tomb, discussing what these objects can tell us about the life and beliefs of the Ancient Egyptians.

In Science, we have now completed our unit on Light. The children investigated the properties of different materials, learning the meanings of opaque, translucent, and transparent and identifying which materials are reflective. They also carried out experiments to explore how shadows are formed and how they change, and we discussed how to protect our eyes from the sun, including why it is important to avoid looking directly at bright light sources.

Next half term, our History focus will move on to The Romans. To enrich our learning, we are excited to be planning a visit to Colchester Castle, where the children will have the opportunity to explore Roman history and artefacts in a real historical setting.

We are very proud of the enthusiasm and curiosity the children have shown in their learning this half term, and we look forward to sharing more of their achievements with you soon.
