Autumn term 2023

Welcome back, we hope you have had a wonderful summer filled with adventures, we look forward to hearing all about them. We are excited for the year ahead with a packed curriculum, kicking off with the topic Ancient Greece.
 

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.

This year we have Ms Turner, Mrs Creswell and Miss Fawcett as our wonderful teaching assistants.

Our new topic this term is the Ancient Greece, the children had a taster of what was instore before we broke up for summer, including letting us know what they would like to learn.

Spellings – Children will be taught their new spellings for the week every Thursday morning and spelling checks Friday mornings. 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 – Guided reading will take place with Mrs Parkin on a Monday. Homework for Class 2 (Maths and guided reading/reading comprehension) will continue to be given out on a Monday and due in on the following Monday. Homework is now completed on Showbie, children have logins for this app and use at school.

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.

Teaching structure 

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.
