Art and Design Technology
Creativity is very important and our Art
scheme encompasses the basic skills of
drawing, painting, printing, modelling
and 3D work. Children are given many
opportunities to create and display their
work. During Spring term Year 1 and Year 2
will have cookery sessions from a specilaist
cookery teacher. In these lessions the
children will learn about the origin of food
and develop their cookery skills.
Physical Education
We aim to provide a broad and balanced
programme of physical activity. All
children will be taught dance, games and
gymnastics using both indoor and outdoor
environments.
Through these activities, the children will
become fitter, self-motivated and will learn
about the effects and benefits of exercise
on their bodies.
As part of the school sports funding school
has purchased a specialised sports
coach to teach all classes. The coach also
delivers an after school football club on
Monday and Wednesday.
During the summer term of year 2 all
children take part in a 10 week swimming
course.
Geography
Children are given opportunities to learn the
skills of observation, questioning, planning
and using maps. They will develop their
knowledge and understanding of places
near and far through topic work.
History
Children are given opportunities to
develop an awareness of the past within
and beyond living memory; about their
own lives and the lives of others. They are
encouraged to understand and practise
some of the ways in which we obtain
our historical knowledge; e.g. through
stories, pictures, eye-witness accounts
and artefacts.
