Welcome to Maldives Class!

Our class consists of year one and year two children and our teacher is Mrs Attwell supported by Miss Rowley (Autumn 1) and Miss Corall. This year we have lots of exciting topics to find out about and some exciting visits and visitors that will help to bring our cultural capital to life.

We are starting this year with a geography topic of ‘What a Wonderful World.’ We will look at oceans and continents. We will visit Butterfly World, read ‘The Boy who Sailed the World’ and produce a travel show.

In Autumn 2, we will be learning about castles and knights during our topic of 'Defend and Attack’. We will visit Carisbrooke Castle and have a banquet feast in school. We will also learn about George and the Dragon.

As we move into Spring 1, we will look at ‘Sensational Safari’ where we will have a geography focus and visit Amazon World. We will look at whether humans help or endanger the jungle. The careers focus will be a Zookeeper.

Spring 2 sees us go back to the past and learn about significant individuals such as Florence Nightingale through our topic ‘Healing Hands.’ We will look at the role of nurturing nurses both past and present.

In Summer 1, we are heading away in geography through our Magical Mapping topic. We will explore our local area and take part in a scavenger hunt. We will create an art gallery.

Finally, in Summer 2 we are heading into ‘Wheels and Wings’ and looking at modes of transport. We will discuss changes in living memory. We will look at historical vocabulary to talk about things from the past. We will make a class boat and visit the Boat Museum
