Year 1 and 2

Back to Class Pages

Term 1: International mountain rescuers are at the ready! What equipment do we need? What are the different terrains we will have to be confident in? What happens when someone is injured? We are proud about winning an award but our greatest challenge is yet to come. A village in Iceland has called and we are on our way...

Term 2: With a branch of the Great Oak crashing to the ground in a storm, the team of conservationists needs to work out what is the best course of action. The whole village gets involved and there is advice and ideas from all sides. An archaeologist, the vicar, a wood sculptor... should we let the tree slowly die, is it safe for residents, and why are flowers growing so well around the trunk. A discovery of a children's tin of artifacts in the disrupted soil takes us back to the 1960s and 70s and the moon landings. Will the tree be designated a tree of historical significance? 

Term 3: Aqua Splash Media company are having a very busy time. They receive regular requests from magazines and tourism countries; we can hardly keep up! One day it is producing a diagram of a fish for a children's science publication, another it is designing a treasure hunt for Bawdsey to try to increase visitors this summer. We leap into action when a whale is discovered, washed up on Bawdsey beach, when we are researching the area. Where has it come from? Can we get it back into the sea before it dies? We become renowned for our conservation posters and knowledge around sea pollution and so the Museum of London has got in touch about putting together something for their new Thames exhibition. But what has that got to do with pollution and why do we have to feature a drainage engineer?
