Key Stage 1

Year 2 Great Fire of London

This term Year 2 have been learning about the Great Fire of London. As part of our English lessons we took part in some dance and drama where the children acted out what life was like at this time in London with narrow twisting streets, bakers making bread and the pumping fire engine that was used to try and squirt water on to the fire. In art we created fire pictures using collage techniques and in one of our final English lessons we followed a recipe and made biscuits from 1666. The children enjoyed tasting these!

Year 2 Maths 

In our math’s lessons, Year 2 have been adding two 2-digit numbers using base ten and place value counters.

Year 2 Science - Living Things and their Habitats 

In Terms 1 and 2, Year 2 students embarked on an exciting journey into the world of living things and their habitats. They explored the key characteristics of living organisms and investigated microhabitats around the school grounds. Through these explorations, students discovered how different habitats support the basic needs of various animals and plants. They also delved into the fascinating concept of food chains, learning how living things are interconnected within ecosystems.

Our young scientists have thoroughly enjoyed these hands-on investigations, fostering a sense of curiosity and wonder about the natural world!

 

KS1 Christmas Displays 

Year 1 Science 

During the last week of term, Santa wrote to year 1 asking for help to get back to his workshop after delivering the presents on Christmas eve. The children had to think of a way to help Santa park his sleigh in the right place. After a scientific discussion, the children worked collaboratively using ice, salt and food colouring, to see how they could change the colour of the ice and snow so that Santa knew where he needed to park his sleigh.

Year 1 Shapes

We learnt about 2D and 3D shapes and went for a walk around the school to see what shapes we could find. We recorded the 3D shapes we found on a tally chart.

Year 2 Self Portraits 

Year Two children created their own self-portrait, using coloured paper to produce an abstract version of themselves, concentrating on scissor skills.
