EYFS, Year 1 & Year 2
Welcome to our EYFS, Year 1 and 2 class page. We have a fun filled term ahead with lots of exciting learning opportunities.
EYFS Topic: All About Me
This term we are learning all about ourselves — our families, friends, and what makes us special! We’ll explore our interests, how we grow, and how to take care of ourselves and others.
Year 1 and 2
This term, KS1 are diving into exciting learning adventures across all our subjects. Here’s what we’ll be exploring:
English Book Focus: Send for a Superhero!
We will read the story and have fun with superhero adventures!
Children will create their own heroes, practice describing characters, and explore story settings and sequencing.
Maths
Our mathematical minds will focus on time and essential operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. We'll develop problem-solving strategies and build confidence in tackling challenges.
Science: Pets and Gardens
We will learn about animals, what pets need to stay healthy, and explore living things in our garden.
Geography Topic: Seas and Coasts
Children will explore what makes the seaside special from beaches and rock pools to sea creatures and coastal weather. We will compare coastal life with our own local area.
Art Focus: Painting and Mixed Media — Life in Colour
We will experiment with colours, textures, and materials. Children will explore how colours make us feel and create artwork inspired by famous artists and their own experiences.
RE (Religious Education) Christianity and God
We will learn about Christian beliefs, stories about God, and what it means to care for others. Children will explore themes of kindness, love, and belonging.
Homework and reading books are due in every Monday and will be sent back out on a Tuesday.
