We are very excited to dive into our new topic, "Full Steam Ahead," which will focus on the Great Western Railway and the famous engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
There's a lot to look forward to this term. We will be comparing and contrasting different modes of transport throughout history, with a particular emphasis on the impact of railways. We will also be exploring how Didcot has changed over the last 75 years and the role that the railway has played in that transformation.

Term 5- Home and Away.
This term our topic is ‘Home and Away’:
In this geographical topic, we will first be exploring the United Kingdom. We will learn about the four countries within it, their capital cities and the surrounding seas. After a brief whizz around the UK, we will be homing in for an island study comparing hot and cold places. For this we have chosen The Shetland Islands, where we will look at both the human and physical geography with an emphasis on the coastal areas. Next, we fly off to Madagascar to compare similarities and differences in human and physical geographical features to the area in the UK.

We begin our term by reading ‘The Disgusting Sandwich’ and writing our own instructions on how to make a truly disgusting sandwich.
In Science, we will be finding out about the life cycle of different animals, what animals need to survive and we will link our topic knowledge to healthy eating.
In Maths, Year 1 will begin to look at place value in numbers to 20 before revisiting addition and subtraction. Year 2s will start with a topic around money before moving on to multiplication and division.
Our focus this term is all about Incredible Edibles. We will be using printing techniques to print fruit in art and in DT, we will be making vegetable salads. Our PSHE is ‘Dreams and Goals’ where we will discuss what we can do to reach our goals.
