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 year we have had so far! The children have 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 2 - What will the children be learning?

This half term, the children will be exploring a variety of exciting topics across the curriculum!

In Design and Technology, the children will learn about the importance of a balanced diet. They will be planning and making healthy wraps while thinking about what makes food good for our bodies.

In Geography, we will be the following the journey our food takes, discovering where different foods come from around the world and how they travel to our plates. This will help children understand global food production and trade in a fun and engaging way.

Our PSHE lessons will focus on staying safe online. The children will learn how to use technology responsibly and safely, helping the children understand the importance of privacy and how to ask for help.

In RE, we will be learning about sacred texts from different religions. The children will understand the importance of these texts and gain respect and understanding for different beliefs.

It is set to be a half term full of learning and discovery!

Behind the Class Names

Ada Lovelace is considered to be the first computer programmer. She was a mathematical genius and realised that computers could follow simple instructions to perform complex calculations.

Emmeline Pankhurst fought hard for equal voting rights for women and showed fantastic resilience. She played a vital role in society.

Frank Bowden Bowden took up cycling on his doctor's advice and bought a bicycle from a small shop on Raleigh Street, Nottingham, run by Messrs Woodhead, Angois and Ellis. He was so impressed with his recovering health and the bicycle that in 1887–88 he acquired control of the company, which was then making three bicycles a week. He changed the company's name to Raleigh Cycles to commemorate the original address. By 1896 it was the largest bicycle manufacturer in the world and occupied seven and a half acres in Faraday Road, Nottingham.
