Spring Term

These pages will have a brief overview of what the children in year 1 and 2 will be learning as well as key information for each class, such as what day the class do PE. 

Year 1 - Kings and Queens

In the spring term in Year 1, we will be learning about the Royal Family as well as important castles, including Windsor Castle, in our topic 'Kings & Queens' . We will learn about the four countries in the United Kingdom and in science, we will find out about everyday materials. In art, we will use our colour mixing skills to create work in the style of Andy Warhol. In maths, we will be solving addition and subtraction number sentences using a range of strategies and resources. In English, we will be encouraging the children to write at length using full stops and capital letters consistently. We will continue to work on our phonics skills and apply these to our reading and writing skills.

Year 2 - Home, Sweet Home

We will kick off year 2 by thinking about our homes. We will create simple maps of our bedrooms and classroom before finding out about how Bracknell has changed over the last 100 years. We will also learn how to draw careful self-portraits and portraits and we will look at the work of some different portrait artists through time. Our Design Technology learning will focus on textiles and we will learn how to use running stitch to create pouches.
