Years 1 & 2

Miss Whinnett: Class Teacher

Mrs Manby: Teaching Assistant

Miss McWilliam: Teaching Assistant

Welcome to Class 2! We are a mixed-age class, with children from Year 1 and Year 2.

Our classroom is a positive, happy environment where children feel supported in their learning. We encourage children to be creative and inquisitive. We want our children to feel confident to have a go and understand that they can learn from mistakes. As well as learning new skills and acquiring new knowledge, we aim to develop social and emotional skills to enable our children to grow and become more independent and confident individuals.

We particularly value outdoor learning and make the most of the superb school grounds and surrounding areas to complement our learning.

In Key stage 1, we follow the National Curriculum and as a mixed-age class, we follow a rolling programme. For further details, take a look at our curriculum page.

We structure our week by starting each day with small group phonics/spellings sessions. This is followed by English and Maths. In the afternoons we enjoy doing Topic (Art, DT, History and Geography), Science, PE, Computing, Music and RE.

Below is a summary of our learning this half term.
