Children in Years 1 & 2 work in mixed age classes within Islands. Each morning they work on Maths, phonics & English and have daily handwriting, and number facts sessions too. Afternoons are spent exploring topics creatively, taking part in PE, Music and spending time outdoors. Each class has a weekly Circle Time to develop and maintain healthy relationships in class and beyond. RE is explored in blocks across the year - meaning we can immerse ourselves in the learning.
