Autumn Term 2026/7 Curriculum Map

October 2026

This half term, Year 2 have been exploring the world around them through drawing, sketchbooks and collage. We have been learning to look closely at familiar objects and natural forms, noticing details, patterns, shapes and symmetry that we might normally overlook.

The children have enjoyed becoming artists and collectors, gathering ideas and inspiration from the world around them, especially the Autumnal natural 'tree litter'. Through observational drawing and experimental mark-making, they have explored a range of materials and discovered different ways to create lines, shapes and textures.

Looking at the work of Andy Goldsworthy we took inspiration from his nature sculptures and instillations, exploring pattern, shape and various heights of objects.

We have also explored seasonal changes and natural forms, using the environment and the arrangement of our ideas to create interesting compositions. The children have been encouraged to be inventive, take creative risks and remake sculptures if they had a different idea.

It has been wonderful to see the children's curiosity, creativity and confidence develop as they learn to see the world through an artist’s eyes.
