Class 2

Hello and Happy New Year!

Welcome back to the Spring term, I hope you all had a restful and enjoyable Christmas break! Thank you so much for the wonderful Christmas cards and presents!

I would just like to update you on what’s currently happening in Class 2 over the coming term as we head into Spring.

Staffing

Mrs Houghton will carry on teaching Class 2 on a Wednesday.  Mrs Enright will continue to work with the children each day and Mrs Wallace will also be working within the classroom on a daily basis. The children will also be receiving support from Mrs Oxley, Mrs Holloway and Mrs Kempster this term.

Timetable

This term our topic is ‘Humans and other animals’. Class 2’s weekly timetable remains unchanged which means that PE will be on a Monday and Friday afternoon. PE this term will be Gymnastics in the hall therefore the children will not need any outdoor clothing in their PE kit.

Reading

Please continue to listen to your son/daughter read on a daily basis to enable them to continue the progress they have made so far in their reading. If you have any free time on a Tuesday morning and would like to help with Guided reading sessions between 9.30 and 10.30, that would be fantastic. The more adults there are in class the smaller the reading groups become which is always beneficial for the children. Therefore if you are able to help please come and talk to me.

Many thanks to all the parents who helped out in class last term, this help was invaluable. Both the children and I enjoy having parents in to help as it enables more support within the classroom and an opportunity for us to get to know parents better. Therefore if you haven’t already helped in Class 2 and would like to please let me know. Absolutely no experience is required just come along and help out.

We will be using the learning platform again this term. This can be accessed by the children at home. I have put a number of games, websites and useful information relating to the children's learning and current topics so do encourage your child go on at home!

If you have any concerns or questions please come and see me, I am more than happy to deal with queries at any time.

Yours faithfully
