Class 2
Welcome back, we hope you have had a wonderful Christmas Break, we look forward to hearing all about your adventures. We are excited for the term ahead with a packed curriculum, kicking off with our exciting topic ‘What is a Monarch?’, linking with the text Queen Victoria's Bathing Machine by Gloria Wilson in English lessons.
Our class page on the website will keep you up to date with information, what’s happening in Class 2 and give you a feel for our fabulous children and class. Mrs Parkin will be the class teacher Monday’s, Tuesday’s and part of Wednesday afternoon and Mrs Ray, Wednesday to Friday. We also welcome back Madame Walsh on Friday afternoons. This year we have Miss Ness as our wonderful teaching assistant.
PE - PE is Gymnastics at the Leisure Centre, Penrith this half term and will take place on Mondays. We ask that children keep their PE kits in school every day. We are heading into the winter months, please can children come with spare socks and PE jumper. Running club will continue to take place on Thursday lunch times.
Spellings – Children will be taught their new spellings for the week every Thursday with spelling checks to be completed on the same day. Children have logins to Spelling Shed where they can practice their spellings both at school and home.
Reading – Children are responsible for changing their book once completed. In class we independently read every morning before lessons start and we expect the children to read at home, a mixture of shared and independent is great. To monitor reading at this age, it is vital that they/you fill in their reading diaries – this helps us keep a close track on progress. Please help with this at home, thank you.
Homework - In Class 2 our homework is focused on reading regularly at home - we have a sticker chart in class to encourage this, spellings and number facts. A spelling home book will be brought home every week for spellings to be practised in - please can they come back every Thursday. Children can also practise weekly spellings on Ed Shed and use Times Table Rock Stars / Hit the Button, to become confident and fluid with age appropriate times tables and number bonds.
Clothing - please ensure all items of clothing are clearly named. This really does help us to return missing items quickly and easily.

Residential at Hawse End
We had a fantastic three day residential at Hawse End, jam packed with activities including orienteering, canoeing, lake walks, rock climbing, fire pit chats, and ghyll scrambling. The children were marvellous developing life skills staying away from home and making memories. We look forward to Patterdale Hall this year.
