Welcome to Class 2 2024 - 2025
In Class 2 we think that learning should be exciting, creative and engaging. We look for opportunities to grow as independent learners and critical thinkers. Our subjects are taught discretely but we look for links between topics where possible. We believe that sharing ideas and working together develops our ability to reflect on our learning. We view mistakes as opportunities to grow in both confidence and resilience, helping us to fly like eagles. In Class 2, we take every opportunity to use our wonderful outdoor area to enrich our learning. Alongside this, we aim to spend one lesson a week learning practical, outdoor skills and one lesson a week taking part in dance and drama lessons.
Our teaching and learning team in class are:
Ms Stretton
Mrs Elson and Mrs Ridgeway
Mrs Smith (Science)
Our Day
In the mornings, our learning focuses on the Key Stage 1 core curriculum subjects and science. We take part in a range of independent and group activities focusing on reading, writing and mathematics. In the afternoons, we focus on the Key Stage 1 foundation subjects which include history, geography, art and design and technology. Often, subjects are linked together to enhance cross-curricular learning. French, dance and drama, forest school and PE are taught by specialist teachers who visit our class once a week. Learning is enhanced using continuous provision is our outdoor area.
