Yearly Topic Overview 2017-18

Above is our yearly overview of the topics we will cover in 2017-18. It does say Year 2 but this is because we do a 2 year cycle and so all year 1/2 classes are doing the same topics. We therefore make it more year 1 or 2 'friendly' depending on the class.

Our final topic of the year is Buckets and Spades- click on the link below for a summary.

Our topic this term is The Wind in the Willows. Click the link below to see more details.

We had a great time a Smithills Open Farm, learning about all the lovely animals.

We explored outside to find signs of seasonal changes. We noticed some leaves on the ground and collected some natural 'treasure'. Back indoors we created leaves like the ones we had seen. We loved smudging the chalks and getting messy.

We have been playing and getting to know our new classmates on our first day in 1/2B.

USEFUL INFORMATION:

P.E is on Thursday afternoons. Well done to everyone who has brought their kit to school. Please note earrings cannot be worn during our P.E lessons, so it would be better for children to leave them at home on Thursdays.

 

Reading books should be sent to school every day please, as we will also read these in school. It will help your child's reading progress greatly if they read a few pages of their book at home each day.

 

Please put names in all your children's clothing, especially jumpers and coats as these can be removed several times during a day. We can quickly return mislaid items to children if they are labelled.

 

Spelling homework will be given out on Fridays, and we will have a test the following Friday to see what we have remembered. There will be new MyMaths to try each fortnight on the computer.

 

Below is information from last year. Have a look and see the type of activities we get up to in Year 1 and 2.

We have really enjoyed reading the Mr Men stories by Roger Hargreaves. We had fun making our own Mr Men from recycled materials.

Roald Dahl day was a chance to dress up, which we love to do. We enjoyed his enormous crocodile story, and even made our own crocodile puppets.

Now summer is over we have been investigating outside to see what is changing. We found lots of 'nature treasure'.

We watched our chickens scratching for food. We noticed lots of berries on the trees. We talked about what we saw with a partner. These green berries were on a playground bush. We spotted rosehips too. There were tiny seeds everywhere. We noticed there were still flowers blooming. More berries in the garden area. We still have some vegetables growing. This beetroot is nearly ready to eat. We liked these pink flowers. We could only see one tree with some orange leaves We enthusiastically collected nature treasure. We found lots of interesting things today.

In English we are enjoying the Mr Men stories by Roger Hargreaves. We created our own Mr Men pictures using a paint program on the computer.
