‘Learning For Life’

Welcome to Year One
The emphasis in Year One is to follow the Key Stage One Curriculum, which focuses on the development of the individual child and provides high quality learning opportunities for the children to learn through play. The children are able to explore, take risks, have fun, form friendships, think critically and form their own ideas.
Our theme for this half term is ‘Me and My City’ which will be kick started by a city tour around Sheffield. Our learning will be led by Geography and History as we learn about where we live and the human and physical features of Stocksbridge and Sheffield. We will discover how Harry Brearley contributed to the city of Sheffield with the discovery of stainless steel.

Local Area Geography Walk
To enhance our geography learning, we took the children out into the local area to identify human and physical features. The children were able to spot a whole range of things and could identify why we were in the countryside, discussing things like fields, dry stone...
The Creation Story
We have been learning that many Christians believe God was involved in the making of the world. We read about The Creation and learnt about what parts of our world was created on each day, according to the story. The children then ordered pictures from the story.

HOORAY shouted Class 5 when they realised it was time for their block of outdoor learning (Forest Schools). Due to the time of year, the children were on the hunt for signs of Spring, which led us into identifying different sticks that we found on the ground. We also...
Morning sounds!
In music we started creating musical soundscapes and today's soundscape was focussed on the noises we hear in a morning. The children thought of all the noises they hear when they wake up in the morning and chose one to represent. They chose a musical instrument which...
EIS Year 2 Sports Day
We were lucky enough to take part in the Year 2 Sports event at the EIS. There were lots of fun activities and all the children had a wonderful time. The adults were so proud of the children and their amazing behaviour.
Children in Need
Can a pizza be healthy?
This half term's DT project challenged the children to make a healthier pizza using a wrap as the base . They designed, made, tasted and evaluated. The children cut their own vegetables and assembled their own pizzas. Yummy!
Smoothie Bike
As part of our Health Me theme, Taylor Shaw brought their smoothie bike into school. The children had a fantastic time pedalling to create a delicious smoothie!
Watching the British Championship Ice Skating
Year 2 were very lucky to be invited to watch the Men's figure skating British Championships at Ice Sheffield. We watched the men warming up on the ice and were wowed by some incredible moves. Truly inspirational!
