Class 2 Squirrels
Welcome to our Class 2 page.
Class 2 is a mixture of Year 1 and Year 2 children taught by Mrs Stepney.
At the start of each morning, there will be a morning task for the children to complete whilst the register is taken. The children will then go straight into assembly.
As part of our morning lessons, the children will take part in phonics, English and maths.
PE lessons will take place on a Wednesday and Thursday afternoon, so please make sure your child has their PE kit in school on these days. Please cover any earrings with tape.
In the afternoons, children will take part in a range of lessons including handwriting, history, geography, RE, RSHE, music, DT and art.
Once a week, the children will have a chance to visit our school library to change their levelled book and book to share.
On Friday the children will have a weekly spelling test. At this time, they will also be given spellings for next week.
The children will need to bring their reading books and planners every day, as children will get an opportunity to read to a teacher or teaching assistant at least once a week.
In English our learning this half-term is linked to 'Mole's Star'.

In maths, our Y1 children will be focusing on place value within 20, and our Y2 children will be learning addition and subtraction with money.
This year, we have introduced the Zones of Regulation to teach students how to identify their emotions, understand how those feelings affect their behaviour, and use tools to manage their reactions in healthy ways. The Zones of Regulation helps children (and parents!) develop emotional awareness and practical strategies to stay calm, focused, and in control. Please see the presentation below for further information.
