Year 1 - Phase 2

Welcome to the class page for Mondrian, Degas and Seurat class!

In the second half of the Autumn term, we will be answering...

What is it like where I live?

 

For this half term we will be studying our locality and surroundings. Through our work, we will look at photographs of how Retford has changed over the years using phrases such as 'past' and 'present'. In Science, we will learn about materials and their specific properties. As always, we encourage the children to read at least 3 times a week.
