Spring Term 2025
Welcome back, we hope you have had a fabulous Christmas break and a Happy New Year to you all. We look forward to hearing all about it. We are excited for the term ahead with a packed curriculum, kicking off with our exciting topic, ‘Why did the Romans invade and settle in Britain?’
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, keep an eye out for social media too! This year we have Mrs Creswell and Mr Calway as our wonderful teaching assistants.
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 homework will focus on reading regularly at home - we have a sticker chart in class to encourage this. Weekly spellings to be practised on Ed Shed and to become confident and fluid with age appropriate times tables and number bonds, these can be practised on Times Table Rock Stars and Hit the Button. There are some activities to complete on Showbie for maths, but these are optional.
If you have any concerns or questions about school or your child, please contact us directly on one of the following email addresses and we will do our best to support you; leeanne@culgaith.cumbria.sch.uk and megan@culgaith.cumbria.sch.uk.
We are all looking forward to another term filled with learning and laughter,
Mrs Parkin and Mrs Ray.

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.
