Welcome to St Rose of Lima Class Page
A warm welcome to St Rose of Lima class! We are delighted to embark
on the academic journey with you and your child in our happy and welcoming Year 1/2 setting. Our curriculum is rich and diverse, filled with exciting topics that ignite curiosity and inspire a love for learning.
We begin our year with the captivating theme of 'Life Down Under', where students will explore the unique landscapes, animals, and cultures of Australia. Following this, we eagerly transition to the enthralling topic of 'Fire! Fire!', which will engage our young learners in understanding the significance of fire in both nature and human history.
As we move throughout the year, I am genuinely looking forward to getting to know each child personally and creating precious memories that will last a lifetime. I am equally excited to form strong partnerships with you, as we collaborate in supporting your child's learning journey.
Please remember, we are always here to talk, and there is no such thing as a silly question. Your involvement and communication are vital in fostering a positive learning environment.
Thank you for your support, and here’s to a fantastic year ahead!

Fire, fire!
Year 2 travel back in time to discover the remarkable events of the Great Fire of London in history and through considering such losses that occurred at that time start to understand how to find happiness. They uncover the properties of everyday materials in science and link it to its significance in life in 1666. Through mapping, in geography, some of the main landmarks in London of the past and comparing them to now they understand how disasters can strike. Year 2 also use Scratch in computing to trace our steps across London. Through expressive
painting in art the children create their own views of the great fire. The children explore happiness through music, whilst learning to be in a rock band and learn the dimensions of music, like pulse, rhythm and pitch through a group song.
