Welcome to our Year 1 and 2 class page.
Our Topic for the first half of the Autumn Term is:
Where We Live
In this topic, we will be exploring the world - its oceans and continents, the United Kingdom with its different countries and capital cities and our home town of Nantwich. We will be learning map skills and identifying some of the different physical geographical features of the U.K. such as rivers, forests and mountain ranges.
You can find the Continents Song that we all like to sing here:
In English, we will be studying the story 'Troll Swap' by the author Leigh Hodgkinson and using the language features and structure to invent stories of our own.
We will focus on the features of building a story to include a beginning, middle and end. We will be learning how to combine words to makes sentences and uses expanded noun phrases to describe events and characters.
Take a look at our 'Autumn 1 Learning Overview' and 'Knowledge Organiser' at the bottom of this page to see what we will be covering in our curriculum.

This can be found in the files to download at the bottom of this page. While this is not compulsary, it's a great way to learn more about our topic and earn Dojo Points to convert in our shop at the end of term.
