Class 2 2026 - 2027

Mrs Scott

Welcome to Class 2

Year 1 and 2 Teacher: Mrs Scott Teaching Assistant: Mrs Larissa Burton (mornings) Mrs Sue Sweetnam

In our class, we build on the children's wonderful EYFS experiences, and their wellbeing is at the heart of everything that we do. We continue to develop children's love of learning, and we gently support and encourage them on their journey to becoming independent learners. We understand that children learn in different ways, and we use multi-sensory approaches in our teaching and learning sessions. To ensure a smooth transition to their new year group, we give children an opportunity to learn through their own interests during free learning sessions.

Each week, we will set homework tasks as follows:

Reading - your child will take home a reading book every Tuesday which correlates to the phonics covered that week. We will issue a new reading book every week and we ask that you keep the book for the full week to develop fluency and comprehension of the text. By the end of the week, we would hope that your child will recognise words in the book by sight and not have to 'sound them out phonectially'. We also like to actively encourage children to read for pleasure and develop a love of reading by choosing books from their own and our school book collections. Children also have a login to Reading Eggs where they can explore a variety of book genres.

Maths - Children have a login to access Numbots where they can consolidate essential maths skills alongside lessons.

Spellings - Our school initiative is to learn the Common Exception Words for the year group. We practise 5 CEW spellings each morning and at the start of the English lessons. These spellings are sent home on Spider for you to practise and consolidate. We will check progress on these spellings on a termly basis.

Planning Preparation and Assessment time (PPA) for Class 2 will be on a Thursday afternoon. During this time, the class will be taught music and PE.
