Year 1 & 2 Curriculum Overview
Year 1 Curriculum
Autumn Term Topic – Paws, Claws & Whiskers
Spring Term Topic – Bright Lights Big City
This term the children will be learning about London and The Queen…”Yes your Majesty!” Put on your best outfit because you’re invited to have tea with the Queen. Use your best manners and comb your hair, as one will not be amused if you don’t! What do you know about England’s capital city? Let’s find out all about London, including its history, transport and famous landmarks. Step back in time and discover what happened in the Great Fire of London. Where did it start? How did it end? Create a model of the bakery on Pudding Lane, then burn it to the ground to recreate the Great Fire. Stand well back and watch how the flames spread. London’s burning! London’s burning! Fire, fire! Fire, fire! Hang on, there’s someone new in town. Are you ready for the bright lights of the big city? Hop in a black cab and enjoy the ride.

Year 2 Curriculum
Autumn Term Topic – Castles & Knights
Spring Term Topic – Wriggle & Crawl
This term the children will be learning about all things which wriggle & crawl…I hope you like spiders!! Grab your coat and hat – we’re going out and about on a minibeast hunt. Sweep your nets in ponds and lift up logs to see who’s home. Then set up a minibeast laboratory and observe their every move. Add notes and labels and ask research questions, just like a real entomologist. Learn about bees and worms and butterflies too. Can you make a food chain to show who eats who? Carry out investigations to find out more, like how far a snail travels in a day and how a spider catches its prey. Then animate to show how your favourite bug transforms from one form to another, perhaps a caterpillar to a butterfly or a maggot to a fly. On your belly, legs at the ready, it’s time to wriggle and crawl.
