'The Infants' Year 1&2
Hello, we are the Infants Class!
We decided what our own class rules should be. We promise to be kind and helpful, listen to others, use kind hands, say please and thank you, look after our things and most importantly - HAVE FUN!
Important Information
To view the long term plan for Year 1/2 please head over to the curriculum page, or to find out more about our curriculum please contact either the Class Teacher or Head Teacher via the school office.
What we have been up to...
November
We have had such a lot of fun in November! From celebrating Diwali in our role play area and making our beautiful Diva lamps to practising our observational drawings in Art.
We have continued to explore our text "Grandad's Island" and have applied fabulous vocabulary as well as borrowing the author's tools to engage the reader in our own writing. In DT, we have explored wheeled vehicles before designing and building our own "Elf Buggies" and holding "Wacky Races" in the school hall.
Our drama skills were tested during the Anti-bullying workshop and our on-going "Open the Book" Bible story sessions and we also enjoyed our class party which we earned by filling our star jar.
Spending time outside is extremely important to us and we have enjoyed Forest School sessions and Geography lessons in our school's beautiful grounds. We were even lucky enough to have some snow which we couldn't wait to get outside and explore!
October
October has been another busy month! We have continued our learning on The Great Fire of London with a Living History day and we worked in groups to redesign London after the fire! We also made some super observations whilst exploring the old toys from the Beeford's History Museum.
We have been super scientists, experimenting with materials to test strength and stretchiness and then recording our results.
In RE, we have learned and explored the Christian and Islamic Creation Stories and have created our own artwork, whilst in Art we have explored and extended our knowledge of mark making, especially enjoying our collaborative "Making Waves" piece.
September
Wowsers! What a busy start to the school year! We have enjoyed some wonderful learning experiences during September,
We loved sharing news from the summer holidays with our friends and enjoyed making our own sandwiches (Mrs Robinson's looked very funny). In RE, we have thought very hard about what makes our world wonderful and why some things are precious to us. We even made up our own creation story dance routine which was great fun.
Science has been really interesting as we have learned why objects are made from certain materials and what makes those materials suitable. During Forest Schools we thought about the changing seasons and made our own Autumn badges and in History, we have learned lots about the Great Fire of London.
Our current book is "Grandad's Island" and we had a big surprise last week when Grandad joined us with some of the objects from his attic!
