Seedlings Year 1 and 2 Learning Journey

See what we have been learning this year.

In to the past

For our Autumn Term topic we travelled ‘In to the past’. We shared our ideas of topics we would like to learn about and planned activities that we would like to complete.

We started our topic exploring our past and created our own timelines using baby photographs. We then explored ourselves and talked about how we had changed as we got older. We created lots of artwork using our faces.

Our next topic we to find out about how the Earth was created. We explored different religions to find out about different creation stories. We then started to explore the ‘Wonders of the World’ through our Science investigations.

We explored clouds and found out how they were made. We explored the names of the different clouds and tried to find examples of different clouds in the sky around school.

We explored floating and sinking in our outdoor area. We needed to choose objects and make predictions about whether we thought they would float or sink.

We also explored the water cycle and learnt some very tricky scientific vocabulary to help us to explain how rain is made.

We ended our mini topic about creation exploring volcanoes. We worked with our friends in Year 2 and 3 to create our own volcanoes following the instructions. We then all got together to test our volcanoes to see if they would erupt. It was very exciting!

Our next topic is ‘Old buildings’. I wonder what we will find out about the past of our local area?
