Week 1 completed! 

Well done to all of Class 2 for just being brilliant this first week. They have settled into Year 1 life really well and we are all ready to start our phonics and maths curriculum next week. 

Have a restful weekend and hopefully next week will be a little bit cooler! 

Miss Copley, Miss Newcombe and Mrs Willis 

Welcome to Class 2' class page!

We are here at the first day of term, ready to start the year and we can not wait!!

In our classroom we have Miss Newcombe (Monday, Tuesday and alternate Wednesday afternoons) and Miss Copley (Wednesday mornings, alternate Wednesday afternoons, Thursdays and Fridays). We also have Mrs Willis, who is our lovely TA, alongside Miss Whalley and Miss Barnes, our 1:1/TAs. We are all very excited to make this year one to remember!

Please keep an eye out for this page to be updated with any photos and activities that we have been doing in class.

We want you and your child to feel safe, secure and very welcome in their new environment. So please ask us any question (no matter how small you think the question may be) and we will try and give you as much information as possible!

In KS1 we teach a new topic every half term. We cannot wait to teach the children this year and for them to create some brilliant work! Wherever possible, if your child would like to bring their learning home, you could explore your family history. This will enable the children to question relevant history to themselves and get them asking some interesting questions.

Now finally, here are a few pointers for things to run as smoothly as possible:

• We have PE on a Tuesday and Thursday! So please make sure your child comes to school that day in their PE kit.

• LABELS! Please label everything that belongs to your child. This includes, banana cases, caps, jumpers and bottles! (You wouldn't believe the lengths we have to go to when matching up jumpers to children, the sniff test is the most successful!)

• Children do not need a reading folder AND a backpack. If you have packed lunches – a backpack is probably best. If your child has hot dinners, a reading folder will be fine.

• Please bring a water bottle to school as we refill and drink these throughout the day, but do not put drinks in reading folders! As it may leak and all paper and books will be ruined.

• Snacks - We have a snack at first break and then fruit is provided for the second break, so one snack is enough.

• Read, read and read! We love to encourage reading for a purpose and making reading enjoyable! Read signs, read labels, anything! If you have read one of your child’s reading books or they’ve read a bed time story, please fill in the reading records, we love to read your comments! 

• Please also know that if we have any worries or concerns regarding your child, please be reassured that we will contact you straight away.

• Finally, when dropping your child off at the gate, as hard as it might be, please leave as quickly as possible, the tears do stop quicker once parents leave! We will ring you/send a message to let you know that they are okay ASAP.

If there is anything you would like to talk to us about or ask us, please come and have a chat!

Here's to a fantastic year! 

Thank you!

All of the staff in Class 2.
