Summer 2 Mini-Mission

Oh I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside

In Design and Technology we all designed and made a new puppet for a Punch and Judy show. We looked at lots of puppets first to see how they worked and how they were made then we designed a new character for the show. We practised different joining techniques before choosing our favourite technique to make our own puppet.

In Science, children will learn about animals and their habitats. In History, children will learn how the seaside has changed over time. In Design and Technology, children will design and make a hand puppet using textiles and in Computing, children will learn about coding.

On immersion day we talked lots about the seaside then we made seagulls, windmills and even rolled our own seaside rock to go in our shop!

In Geography, children will identify seasonal and daily weather patterns and how to use directional language. In Art, children will learn how to weave using natural materials and in Computing, they will learn how to code.

Spring 1 mini-mission

Carnival

Lights, Camel, Action! by Year 1 and 2.

Sadly, after all our hard work preparing and practising, our Christmas play - 'Lights, Camel, Action!' had to be cancelled, but we decided to perform our songs for a video so that we could share them with you. We hope you enjoy listening to them and joining in! 

We hope you enjoyed listening to our songs and that you have a wonderful Christmas with your families.

Merry Christmas from Year 1 and 2 and all at Racemeadow. 

During our Dungeons and Dragons topic we will be learning to write a non-chronological report on castles in English, looking at front covers, contents pages, an index and a glossary and discussing the function of each. In History, we will be learning about our local history, including a visit to Tamworth Castle, about significant historical events and about people and places in our own locality.

Our topic for Autumn 1 is 'Out of this World'. In Geography, we will be learning what the Earth looks like from space and talking about the 7 continents, the 5 oceans, countries of the United Kingdom and their capital cities.
