Welcome to Beech Class! We are a vibrant group of Year 1 and Year 2 children, guided by Miss Haresign and supported by Mrs. Duffy.
This term in Geography, we will explore the village of Cliddesden. We will learn to locate Cliddesden on a map, identify key places in the local area, and develop our fieldwork and observational skills to study its geography. In History, we'll delve into the lives of Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole, comparing their significant contributions to national and international achievements.
In Science, our focus will be on Biology, specifically Health and Growth. We’ll learn about the importance of exercise, balanced nutrition, and human hygiene. We'll also identify and label the basic parts of the body and understand how each sense is associated with different parts. Additionally, we’ll work scientifically by gathering evidence to describe the differences and similarities between various organisms and habitats.
In Art, we will be inspired by Van Gogh's "Starry Night," while in Design Technology, we’ll explore simple mechanisms like sliders and levers.
