Welcome to Class 2!

Class 2 is a happy and welcoming mixed Year 1 and Year 2 class where children are encouraged to develop confidence, independence and a love of learning. We provide a nurturing and engaging environment in which every child is supported and challenged to achieve their best. Through exciting, hands-on learning experiences across the curriculum, we help children build key skills, develop curiosity and grow in confidence as learners. We are proud of the positive relationships within our classroom and work together to ensure that every child feels valued, respected and ready to succeed.

Reading

In Class 2, we are passionate about developing a love of reading. Children take part in daily reading activities and are encouraged to read regularly at home to build fluency, confidence and comprehension skills. We explore a wide range of exciting texts throughout the year and use our reading sessions to develop vocabulary, understanding and a lifelong enjoyment of books.

PE

PE is an important part of our curriculum and helps children develop their physical skills, teamwork and confidence. Class 2's PE days are Wednesdays and Fridays, and children should come to school wearing their full PE kit on these days. We enjoy a variety of activities throughout the year, including games, gymnastics, dance and athletics, helping children stay active and healthy.

Spelling

Spelling is a key part of our weekly routine in Class 2. Children will learn and practise age-appropriate spelling patterns, common exception words and high-frequency vocabulary through a range of engaging activities. Weekly spelling lessons help pupils develop strategies for spelling unfamiliar words and applying their knowledge confidently in their reading and writing. We encourage regular practice at home to support children in becoming accurate and confident spellers.

Zones of Regulation

In Class 2, the Zones of Regulation are embedded into our daily practice to support children's emotional wellbeing and self-regulation skills. Children are encouraged to recognise, share and discuss their feelings and thoughts in a safe and supportive environment. Through regular check-ins and classroom discussions, pupils learn strategies to manage their emotions, build resilience and develop positive relationships with others, helping them to feel confident and ready to learn.
