Term 1
We’re so excited to welcome you to a new school year in Year 1 & 2! We have lots of exciting learning planned and can’t wait to get started. As the term begins, our focus is on building strong relationships with the children, creating a happy and settled classroom environment before moving into more formalised learning.
History – ‘Lest We Forget’
This term, our History learning will focus on acts of remembrance. Through our theme ‘Lest We Forget’, the children will explore memories that are special to them, symbols of remembrance, and how remembrance is celebrated around the world.

English
In English, we’ll be diving into alternative versions of traditional fairy tales, with a particular focus on the fantastic book The True Story of the Three Little Pigs. The children will explore writing from different perspectives, including those of the pigs and the wolf, and will also learn how to write their own newspaper articles.

Science
In Science, our learning will focus on everyday materials. The children will learn how to identify and classify different materials and investigate which materials are best suited for different purposes. There will be lots of opportunities for hands-on experimenting as we explore how materials can be used to build effective structures.
