Working Together, Aiming High, Shining Brightly
Let your light shine before others - Matthew 5:16
Year 1 and 2 are taught by Mr Dowe and Miss Lucas.
This term, our topic is Toys from the past
The children will be learning about how toys were different in the past. They will be creating physical time lines using real artefacts. They will then use these to pose questions and discuss similarities and differences between toys from today and toys from the past. Following on from this, the children will place teddy bears in chronological order and then discuss how they have changed. They will then create questions to ask an old teddy bear and then use these during a hot seating activity. To finish, the children will explore what toys might be like in the future.

The children will visit the library bus fortnightly on a Thursday to choose a book. The children will use their library card for this. Please make sure the children have the book in their book bag ready to change.
Children can practise their number facts using Numbots. All login details are provided on their reading record book. They can also use TT Rockstars to work on their times tables. All log in details are in their reading record book.
