The latest Year 1 Learning Update!
In Year 1, we are so proud of everything the children have achieved.
We celebrated the end of our topic with a fantastic coach trip to Brighton, where the children enjoyed exploring the beach, visiting the iconic pier and travelling on the historic Volks electric railway.
The trip provided a wonderful opportunity to bring their classroom learning to life, as they compared life in London with the seaside and reflected on the similarities and differences they discovered.
We were also incredibly proud of the children during their class assembly. They confidently shared their knowledge about our seaside topic with enthusiasm. They spoke clearly, remembered their lines brilliantly and impressed everyone with the fascinating facts they had learned, making it a wonderful celebration of all their hard work.
We finished the term with a fun-filled class party, celebrating all of the children’s hard work, friendships and achievements throughout the year.
It has been a pleasure to watch the children grow in confidence, independence and kindness throughout the year.
We wish everyone a safe and happy summer break and look forward to seeing the children continue to flourish as they begin their exciting Year 2 journey.

The latest Year 2 Learning Update!
As we come to the end of a fantastic year, we would like to celebrate all that Year 2 has achieved. It has been wonderful to watch the children grow in confidence, independence and resilience while embracing every new challenge with enthusiasm.
In English, the children have enjoyed exploring a range of exciting texts and have developed into creative, confident writers. They have written stories, poems, information texts and recounts, using their growing vocabulary and grammar skills to produce work they are incredibly proud of.
In Maths, the children have worked hard to strengthen their understanding of number, calculation, measurement, shape and statistics. They have shown great determination when solving problems and explaining their mathematical thinking.
In Science, the children have been curious investigators, learning about plants, materials, animals and living things. They have enjoyed carrying out investigations, making predictions and discovering more about the world around them.
Throughout the year, our creative curriculum has inspired the children in many ways. In DT, they designed Tudor houses, while in Art they experimented with different techniques and media to produce beautiful pieces of work. In Humanities, they explored and compared the fascinating cities of London and Tokyo, learning about their geography, history and culture, as well as learning about inspirational people. Our topic, A Tale of Two Cities, ended with an unforgettable sightseeing river boat trip along the River Thames, providing a wonderful opportunity to bring their learning to life.
We are incredibly proud of everything the children have achieved this year. Their kindness, perseverance, curiosity and positive attitudes have made Year 2 a joy to teach. We would like to thank you for your continued support throughout the year and wish you all a safe, happy and restful summer holiday. We look forward to hearing about the children’s new adventures as they move on to the next exciting stage of their learning journey.
