Years 1/2 - Our Spring 2019 Big Picture question:

Where will your ticket take you?

Welcome to Years 1 and 2! Our class names are Mice (Y1), Foxes (Y1), Deer (Y2) and Badgers (Y2). Our learning always starts with a big question.

Spring is our 'Explore' term. Geographical knowledge and skills are our starting points, and other subjects link to our theme wherever possible. We use Knowledge Organisers to give an overview of the specific curriculum content children will cover this term.

Enquiry-Based Learning

We start much of our learning with enquiry questions, and we work together to solve problems and find answers. We enjoy finding out about the world around us. Here, you can see some photographs of our autumn walk, and some of the activities we have been involved in. 

Memorable experiences and authentic outcomes

Working with Lincoln Castle

We visited Lincoln Castle to find out just what it would have been like to live and work there. We enjoyed making shields and practising our archery skills. We found that living inside a castle keep was not always a comfortable place to be! However, we did enjoy a banquet in the great hall! 

A member of the team who look after Lincoln Castle sent us a video message. She challenged us to use our learning in order to persuade people to visit. When we had completed our tasks, we presented dances, read stories and explained what we had discovered to our expert audience! We hope that she will be able to use some of our amazing ideas!
