Welcome to Year 1/2

Welcome to Year 1 and 2's web page. Here you will find all the information that you need to support your child through the next school year.

We had a fantastic first half-term, the children worked incredibly hard and produced some amazing work!

This half-term will be another busy, fun-filled term where the children will think deeply about the world around them.

Please see your child's class page for more specific information and some fantastic examples of work!

Reminders

We are delighted to welcome all our pupils and their families back to school. We can't wait to hear all about your autumn break.

Reminders

- Please bring your child's reading books to school every day.

- School starts at 8:45 am and classroom doors shut at 8:55 am, your child must arrive on time.

- Label all pieces of uniform, PE kits and wellie boots - things get lost very easily!

Summer 1 - What will the children be learning?

Even though this half term is short, it will be filled with a lot of exciting learning!

In English, they will be developing their persuasive writing skills by creating powerful arguments about climate change, learning how to inform and inspire others to take action for our planet.

In History, the focus will be on castles—discovering their fascinating features, how they were built, and their importance through time.

In PSHE, the 'Changing Me' unit will support children in understanding how they grow and change, both physically and emotionally.

In Art, they will be refining their observational drawing skills, learning to look closely at details and translate what they see onto paper with increased accuracy and confidence.
