KS1
Year 1 Curriculum
Welcome back to Year 1!
This term we will be focusing on our capital city of London. All our cross-curricular work will focus on journeys within the UK and further afield. We will be exploring the capital city of London through our Geography, History and Literacy topics. Another of our key inspirations for this term is The Great Fire of London and teaching the class about how it impacted the city.
It is important to encourage your child to read at home at least 3 times per week to improve their reading. Remember that reading any book is fantastic, not just you're reading or library book. This needs to be noted in their reading records.
Both classes will have PE lessons on a Tuesday and a Wednesday and these will take place outside- weather dependent. Please send appropriate clothes and shoes for the children to take part.
Homework will continue to be given out weekly on a Friday to be brought back the following week. The homework will be linked to spellings, basic skills, phonics and activities to help complement their learning within the classroom. We will continue practising Year 1 spellings based on our phonic sounds that we are focusing on that week.
Thank you for your continued support.

Year 2 Curriculum
Happy New Year and welcome back to school Year 2!
This term, we will be embedding our alphabetic code through our spelling units, learning all about Lillian Bilocca in History and developing our skills in Dance and games in PE. In Science we will be looking at animals including humans and in Art we will be expanding our modelling skills within nature.
PE lessons this term will begin inside and move outside after half term.
PE days are: 2B – Monday 2S - Wednesday
Your child will read their book in school with an adult three times to develop their fluency, prosody and comprehension. It is important to encourage your child to read at home every week to receive their Regular Reader stamp. Remember that reading any book is fantastic, not just your Phonics book. We would love to see these recorded in your reading records!
Homework will be given out weekly on a Friday to be brought back to school on the following Friday. The homework will be linked to Reading, Writing and Maths, to help complement our learning within the classroom.
Spellings will be given out on a Friday, with your homework, ready to practise for the following week’s test.
Merits will be awarded each week, and we will invite parents & carers to come and join our Merit Assembly via Marvellous Me, so please ensure you are logged in to this.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please speak to your child’s teacher.
Thank you for your continued support.
