Welcome to Year 1 and 2. Your child will be in one of three classes-Elizabeth Class, Stafford Class or Teresa Class. Below you will find lots of information to support your child's learning journey this year and lots of photographs of learning in action. 

The Queen’s Hat experience 

This term, we have been writing a story based on the story ‘The Queen’s Hat’ by Steve Anthony. In the story, the Queen’s hat blew away and the Queen’s guards chased it all around London! Like the Queen, the children experienced wearing a hat on a very windy day!

Famous Landmarks 

The children are designing and making fantastic famous landmarks in our Construction Areas. This supports our work on continents in our current Geography topic, ‘Our Wonderful World.’

Habitats 

For our current Science topic, the children have been exploring the plants and animals that can be found in seaside habitats.

Practical Maths

Mrs O'Hara's Maths group made their own 3D shapes to help them count how many vertices they have.

Making Birds

In Art, the children have been sketching a variety of birds. They have also been focussing on the details of their feathers.

DT - Chicken Coops

Last term, the children completed their ‘Stable Structures’ topic by designing and making fantastic model chicken coops. They used a variety of different cutting and sticking skills as well as working well together as a team.

Food for Life Day 

In December, the theme of our Food for Life Day was potatoes. We took part in various potato activities including making mashed potato, creating potato animals, potato printing and decorating Mr Potato Head. Many thanks to those parents who were able to join us in the afternoon. 

Glo Dodgeball

Just before Christmas, Year 1 and 2 enjoyed a glow in the dark session of dodgeball. They had a great time!

Terrific Toys 

In our current History topic, we have been exploring how toys have changed over the last 100 years. We looked closely at how Nintendo games consoles have changed over time and put them in order to create a timeline.

My Body

In Science, we have been exploring our five senses. The children especially enjoyed smelling and tasting!

The Way Back Home

In English, our writing has been based on the story The Way Back Home by Oliver Jeffers. To bring the story to life, we have also taken part in experiences including going on a flight and exploring the moon.

Spiral Art

During our current Art topic, we have been recreating spirals using different medium including chalk on the playground.
