Beech Class
Welcome to Beech Class! We are a vibrant group of Year 1 and Year 2 children, guided by Mrs Green and Mrs Robinson and supported by Mrs. Duffy.
Beech Class will be studying hot and cold regions, finding them on maps and understanding the difficulties of life as well as learning new vocabulary to describe the features. The children will have experiences of measuring temperature and reading scales. By comparing different areas of the world, the children will be able to answer the key question with reasons and examples.
In English the children will explore the key text Lost and Found and will use this to write instructions and a narrative story, We will also read and explore the text Water Protectors, Tadpole’s Promise and If all the World Were…’
The children will be identifying a variety of common animals in Science. They will learn how to classify and sort animals by their similarities and differences. The children will explore the structure of different types of animals and investigate scientific classifications: fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, and insects
In RE the children will be thinking about specialness in the form of Special places for both Christians and Muslims, and later the stories of Creation in Hinduism.
Beech Class are working on improving their throwing and aiming skills and will be progressing onto using these skills to play tennis and volleyball. They will also further develop their athletic skills.
In Design Technology the children will design and make a penguin puppet. They will think about joins and how best to join their fabrics together.
Within Art, Beech Class will learn about the artist Henri Rousseau and his famous painting named ‘the Tiger’. They will use a range of artistic skills to replicate their own version of this art work.
