Summer 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 - Our Planet

In the summer term, Year 1 will be learning about animals around the world. As part of their learning they will find the world's seven continents and five oceans on a map and globe and then learn about some animals from those places. In science, they will find out about different types of animals and they will practise sorting and classifying animals by type or by what they eat. In maths, children will learn about multiplication and division, fractions, money and time. In English, children will be developing their independence in sentence writing even more as they produce writing based on the texts 'Paddington's Post' and 'Madlenka'.

Year 2 - The Rainforest and Explorers

In Year 2 we will be learning about rainforests and particularly The Amazon Rainforest before comparing it with Bracknell's Swinley Forest. We will work as a team on some collaborative rainforest collage work and we will also find out about some historical figures who dedicated their lives to rainforest conservation. In Summer 2, we will move on to learning about some famous explorers and how exploration has changed over time. In Science we will be finding out about living things, habitats and food chains. In our writing, we will be telling stories to entertain based on the books 'The Lost Homework' and 'Super Joe' as well as creating instructions based on 'How to Wash a Woolly Mammoth' and recounts based on ' Here I am'. In maths we will work on calculating using money, finding fractions, telling the time and measuring length, capacity and mass accurately. We will continue practising our arithmetic skills.
