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.

- What an amazing starter of the term, In Islands we are Geographers investigating through Mantel of the Expert.
- This week we continued to explore the Great Fire of London through our Mantle of the Expert task as fire wardens. We took on the task of rebuilding London after the fire, thinking about how we could ensure the same thing could never happen again.
