Welcome to Class Two!
Here is some information about our class, which I hope you find useful.
In class two we have children from years 2, 3 and 4. We love to learn and find out new things! We are a kind, caring and polite class who are always willing to do things for others.

Mrs Preston - Class Teacher
Who is in Class 2?
Mrs Preston is our teacher, and supporting us is Mrs Davies, Mrs Wood, Mrs Dickinson and Mrs Haigh.
Mrs Garside also teaches us on a Tuesday.
What do I need to remember?
It is important that we all bring our reading record and book with us each day as we may need to read with a member of staff throughout the day. We also collect merits in our reading record.
We have a weekly book change on a Friday in school. This is when children will change their reading book with an adult.
Tuesday afternoons and Friday mornings are our PE days. On Friday mornings the Year 4 children go swimming so they will need to bring a swimming kit with them on those days. Children will change for PE at school, this will usually be outside. PE kit must be labelled and left at school in a named bag.
Although lessons can move around, here is a general timetable of what will be happening each week.
Current topics
Our topic for Autumn term 1 is robots.
In Literacy we are reading George's Marvellous Medicine and learning all about instruction writing. In Maths our topics this half term are place value and then we will move on to adittion and subtraction. In Science the Year 2 children are learning about the life cycle and how to stay healthy. In Year 3 and 4 the children are learning about the human body including movement and nutrition. In DT we are building robots including gears, pulleys and levers. In Music we are making robot music using technology and physical instruments. In Computing we are learning all about being safe with technology and online. In PSHE we are following myhappymind to learn all about the brain and how we can learn better. In RE we are learning about how people express their spirituality. In Geography we are developing our local geographical knowledge. In PE we are learning Netball with the PE coach and then team work games with Mrs Preston.
What can you do at home?
One of the most important things you can do at home to help your child is reading with them. Your child has access to many books in school and are also able to bring them home. Please fill in the reading record book whenever you have shared a book together or listened to your child read.
They can also log onto TT Rockstars to practice their times tables at home. Another great website for maths practice is topmarks, which has educational games to develop their fluency.
Each week your child will bring home a set of spellings. Please make sure they practice these regularly throughout the week ready for our tests on Friday afternoons.
