Year 2
Curriculum Map
Coastline
In the Coastline project, your child will use maps to learn about the location of the world’s seas and oceans and keys to learn about map symbols. They will also find out about the directions on a compass. Year 2 children will learn about the human and physical features of a coastline, including the effects of erosion and how to stay safe when visiting the coast. They will have the opportunity to learn about the work of the RNLI, and about the coastal town of Whitby. They will research the tourism industry and consider what features make a place a successful tourist destination.
How you can help your child at home:
- When your child brings home the Knowledge Organiser for each subject within the Project, make sure it is kept in a safe place for you and your child to read and use together when you are ready.
- Find quiet times to read through the Knowledge Organiser together. It contains all the main facts your child is expected to learn during their lessons.
- Go through the glossary and encourage your child to use the new vocabulary in sentences.
- Visit your local library to allow your child to do some reading on the project as well.
- Why not look at a globe or atlas and see if your child can identify any countries, seas or oceans.
