A very warm welcome!
Welcome parents, carers and children to Class 2! We are very much looking forward to a new year and getting to know a new group of children, as well as growing with our existing class members. We have some lovely topics planned this term and we will be sharing our learning here with you on a weekly basis. Remember to keep an eye on our website to check on the wonderful moments your children share with us in their school life.

Autumn 1, week 8, W/C 1/10/2024
Autumnal Art Printing
In art today, the children have enjoyed collecting leaves to make their own autumnal print. We had some wonderful woodland scences and beautiful bonfires!
Science and the Seasons
In science, the children have been summarising everything they have learnt about the seasons in this half term. We have some great knowledge about the seasonal weather and the changes to daylight hours across the year.
Autumn 1, week 7, w/c 14/09/24
Times Tables Rock Stars Day!
In Ten Ten this week we revisited our learning 'We Belong' and added more information to our original sheets. We thought about what it means to belong in our community and why we are so special and unique. We linked this to God's Kingdom and we all could say that everyone is welcome!
Autumn 1, week 6, w/c 07/09/24
Literacy
In Autumn 1, our focus in Literacy has been grammar. This week, we have been learning about the different forms of the verb 'to be'.
PE
In PE this week, we have been practising our balancing and movement skills by moving forwards by hopping and jumping. We used hop-scotch to help us develop these fundamentals.
Autumn 1, week 5, w/c 30/9/24
Maths
In maths, we have learnt about using a systematic approach to finding number bonds. We have used different manipulatives, such as flip counters, unifix cubes and rek en reks, to support our learning. This has helped us to clearly see the correlation between the numbers decreasing by one on one side with the numbers increasing by one on the opposite side.
Art
In Art this week, we have looked at colour mixing. We have used black and white paint make different shades of grey to celebrate and represent
Black History Month.
RE
This week in RE, the children learnt about the story of 'The Lost Sheep'. We compared the lost and returned sheep with a person losing and regaining their faith. They re-told the story using drama and performed in front of the class.
Autumn 1, week 4, w/c 23/09/24
In between lessons our children have loved dancing with Danny. These brain breaks have allowed our children to get out all of their wiggles and reset their mind ready for learning.
Don't forget this week we are holding our Macmillan coffee morning on Wednesday. The children are invited to come in their own clothes and parents are invited into our school hall for some delicious cakes! We hope to see you all their to help support a very important cause.
Autumn 1, week 3, w/c 16/09/24
Autumn 1, week 2, w/c 09/09/24
The children in class 2 have explored the meaning of the words within our mission statement and have represented these words with images. We have discussed the values associated with the words within it and have decided that they are values worth believing in.
In maths, we have been exploring number. On Friday, we looked at numbers 11-20 and represented them in different ways, using a range of equipment to help us understand the place value of these numbers.
In whole class writing, we have been learning about lists. We have created some vertical lists using bullet points and horizontal lists in sentences using commas to separate our items.
Autumn 1, week 1 - w/c 02/09/2024
The Class 2 children have impressed their new teachers this week! They have settled beautifully in to their new classroom environment and routines - they should be proud of themselves. We have been practising our handwriting, labelling the Gingerbread Man, sorting by attributes and counting in maths, developing our sketchbook skills and much more. The children have enjoyed getting to know their new school friends and exploring their new class room. Photos to be added shortly.
