Welcome to our Year 1 and 2 class page.
Our Topic for the second half of Spring Term is:
Old and New
This is a history based topic where we will be focusing on some historical enquiry skills to find out all about what it was like to go to a Victorian school. We will also look more widely at everyday life in Victorian times and zoom in on finding out about our very own Victorian school - St. Oswald's! The children will explore the similarities and differences with their own experiences and gain a good understanding of the idea of history beyond living memory.
Have a look at these programmes about life in Victorian times. Click on the pictures to play.
In English, we will be studying the story 'The Curious Case of the Missing Mammoth' and using the structure to write our own adventure stories.
Take a look at our 'Spring 2 Learning Overview' and 'Knowledge Organiser' at the bottom of this page to see what we will be covering in our curriculum.
