Spring Term in Years One and Two.

Happy new Year!

Oh no! Its 1666 and London is on fire! We have received a news alert that a fire started in Pudding Lane Bakery. What happened that day? How did the fire start? Was anyone involved? What happened after the fire?

We are kick starting this new year with a history based topic "Fire! Fire!" Our main focus will be "The Great Fire of London" anniversary book by Emma Adams and we have lots of different writing opportunities planned for the children.

Our D&T and Art work will link in with this topic and we plan to recreate Pudding Lane using lots of different mediums and colour mixing to create 2D pictures and 3D models.

Later in the term we will be looking at using compasses, fine tuning our map work and learning how to use simple compass directions to describe features and routes on a map.

Our Maths focus continues to be Place Value and lots of work will be done around consolidating what a number looks like when it is represented in various ways. All the children will be looking at multiplication and division with the year 2s moving onto fractions.

PE is still on a Monday and Thursday. Please ensure you have your PE kits in school for both of these days.

This half term we will be doing:   Movement and Dance - indoor / outdoor PE kit required.   

                                                        Large apparatus - indoor kit required.                                    

Please ensure reading books, reading record books are brought to school every day.

Times Tables - We will be continuing to count in 2's, 5's and 10's with Year 1 and learning 2, 3, 5 and 10 times tables with Year 2, your support with this would be appreciated.
