Welcome to Class 2

The class teacher in Year 2 and 3 is Mrs Priestner supported by Mrs Charnock.  We like to run a varied and exciting curriculum with English and Maths skills taught every morning and topic-based subjects in the afternoons. We try to have a good mixture of indoor and outdoor lessons, which include Forest School sessions throughout the Autumn and Summer months.

Some of our topics planned for this year are:

The countries of the UK

Florence Nightingale and why she is significant

Studying colour, and pattern in Art

Building Paper Planes and Kites in DT

Studying artists such as Wassily Kandinsky and David Hockney

We cover Science, History, Geography, Art, ICT, Music, PSHE, Spanish, PE and DT within each term.

General information

• Homework will be set each Friday in the form of spellings and multiplication tables, and these will be tested the following Friday. Tasks are carefully differentiated to ensure your child is working at the level most appropriate for them.
• Reading Books – These should be brought into school every day, and we ask parents to try and read with their children for approximately 5–10 minutes each night.
• We have specialist PE teachers, who teach different aspects of the PE curriculum throughout the year.
• Water bottles – Every child should bring a water bottle which is kept in class throughout the week and refilled every day. They will be thoroughly cleaned every Friday.
• Snacks – each child can bring in a small healthy snack for morning playtime. This should be something such as fruit or veg and must be NUT FREE.  We will also have fruit available each day.
