Autumn 1 Medium Term Plan

Autumn 1 Parent Overview

Little Wandle Year 2 Overview

Welcome to Kestrels class!!! Our Autumn 1 topic is 'Lovely Letchworth'. Please look at our mind map to find out more about what we learn. We will take opportunities to continue with the child initiated learning approach from Year 1 by using CIL boxes 4 afternoons a week. Each box links directly to adult led learning from a 2 week time period and children access these freely during CIL time. 

We will also go on a local litter pick as part of our eco pledge and a walk around town where we will spot historical landmarks. Keep an eye on your emails for more details about this nearer the time.
