Welcome to Class 2.
In Class 2 this year there are 19 children. We have 10 Year 1’s and 9 Year 2’s.
Our teacher is Miss Reay and our teaching assistants are Mrs McGreal and Mrs Bingham.
Learning in Class 2 is fun! We have lots of brilliant games, practical activities and resources to support our learning. We have a COOL Time (Choose Our Own Learning) Area in our classroom where we can write, draw, construct models, take on roles or read quietly in our Class Library.
Reading is an important part of our school life; we must try to read at least three times a week at home. If we do, we receive Dojos and get to pick a prize from the Prize Box.
Reading books and records must be brought into school everyday and books will usually be changed on a Monday.
Year 1 children practise spellings using the phonic sounds that they are learning each week and these will be sent home on a Friday for the children to practise along with QR codes which direct you to Read Write Inc. video lessons which will be accessible for 3 months which gives us plenty of opportunities to practise and consolidate the phonics we are learning in school.
Year 2 children practise spellings in SCODE lessons and short word lists are sent home each week to help consolidate spelling skills. These words will not be tested.
Maths homework will also be sent home on a Friday which may include QR codes to help support learning through videos, stories or songs. This homework will be linked to the focus of the maths lessons of the current week.
Homework should be returned to Miss Reay by a Thursday; it is important that both the spelling and maths homework is completed each week.
We have a Multi-sport After School Club which runs on a Tuesday, ran by students from St Bede’s College. Our P.E day is a Thursday!
We share work and, on our Class Story, and Portfolios on Dojo and we would encourage you to do the same from home!
We are looking forward to a fantastic year!
