Class 2 Curriculum Information
Welcome to Class Two
Year 1 and Year 2 - Miss McCarron
In Class 2, we continue to build upon the foundations set, ensuring achievement is high. Our standards by the end of Year 2 are overall in line or above national standards.
Phonics continues to be an important part of the children’s learning in Class 2 and a Reading Evening takes place in the Autumn term. The organisation of small groups ensures that teachers are able to support pupils with their Phonics, so that they can progress at a greater pace. (See also Reading Information.)
Our Class 2 teacher uses imaginative contexts to develop and reinforce core skills in Reading, Writing and Maths. Curriculum topics consider the children’s interests, and enable learners to explore their objectives in exciting and creative ways.
Creating Castles
- Details
This week, Class 2 have been working in groups to build a castle with a working drawbridge. The children have been doing a great job working together and using their artist skills to paint all the parts of their castle before piecing it together next week.
Autumn Watch
- Details
This week, we have been thinking about all the different signs of autumn. We went for a hunt around our school grounds to see what signs of Autumn we could find. Children saw how some of the trees have lost their leaves (but not all!), and how the leaves have changed colours. We talked about the temperature drop lately too.
Paul Klee Art
- Details
This week we have looked at drawings of castles and will recreate a picture from a famous artist - Sun and Castle by Paul Klee. We have also been learning to use our part-part-whole models in maths and our bar modelling. In PE, we have been using jungle animals as models for exploring different ways of moving.
