Holly Class

Holly Class is a class of 25  Year 1 and 2 children, taught by Mrs Pedder. Mr Stott and Mr McDonald will cover Holly class during PPA time. Holly Class will be supported by Mrs Foster and Miss Hoggarth.

This term, in Holly Class, our topic is ‘Explorers’. We will learn about people who have explored different places including Christopher Columbus and Neil Armstong. We will look at significant explorers within and beyond living memory.  We will use skills from many areas of the curriculum, such as Geography, History, Art, DT, Music and Dance.  For Science, we will be looking at seasonal changes! As part of our Science and Art topics we will be going on an exciting trip to Leighton Hall to do some seasonal art.

We are looking forward to enjoying stories by the same author, familiar settings, poetry,  and stories on a theme where we will write for a different range of purposes, continuing to develop our spelling, punctuation and grammar skills.

In RE, we will learn about the Bible. We will be having a visit from Father Ryan who will discuss why the Bible is so special. After half term we will be looking at Christmas.

PE will be on Wednesday and Thursday, children are to come dressed in their PE kits on these days. Remember to take earrings out.

Our weekly spelling test will be on Friday. New spellings will be sent home on a Friday for the following week.
