What is happening in Year 1 and Year 2?  

We have many exciting things coming up in year 1 and 2... read all about them as they happen below!

September 2025 update:

In Year 1 the children have been learning all about beaches. They used their experience day ‘Beach Day’ to develop their knowledge on the features of a beach by creating their own. They also looked at the similarities of beaches then and now. We have also been developing our art skills looking at creating spirals.

In year 2 the children have been on an Island Adventure. They have been thinking about the character Grandpa Jazz and thinking about what is precious to them. Year 2 have also been looking at Islands and making their own maps of the classroom!

 

 

October 2025 update: 

This month the children in Year 1 discovered the most recent fossil findings that rivalled Mary Anning’s findings. They looked at the importance of equality when thinking who is the source of the findings. They also found some fossils of their own! The children learnt about habitat in our Sustainability week.

In year 2 the children had their adventure day! Where they discovered what it meant to have an adventure. Fair Trade was a hot topic in year 2 for the Sustainability week as the children learnt all about the importance of this and where our food comes from.

November 2025 update: 

The children in year 2 have been celebrating and learning all about celebrations. They discovered why we celebrate Firework Night and have been using this in their writing and history looking at Guy Fawkes. They are also preparing for their big event of the year, their Christmas Production!!

In year 1 the children are All Aboard and learning about the different ways to travel and how they have changed over time. The children have also started to look at the effects transport may have on the environment!
