Welcome to Class Two

Class Two is a mixture of Year 2, 3 and 4 children 

We like to explore subjects through our topic work, where possible. This means we have a rich curriculum that makes links across the subjects when appropriate.  We have a two year rolling programme which ensures all children cover all aspects of the NC over their two years in the class.

Autumn 2019

Topic - the ancient Egyptians!

History/Geography - we will be exploring historical information about the ancient Egyptians, as well as the human and physical features of the area they inhabited 

RE - we are looking at why Christians celebrate harvest.

Science - we are learning about everyday uses of materials and animals, including humans.

PE - this term we will have coaching from Graeme from the Westmorland FA on a Monday afternoon and Jen from Yokids leading yoga sessions on a Thursday afternoon. 

Music - we will continue to follow the Music Express music programme

Computing - we will be exploring coding and touch typing.

DT - we will be learning about mechanical systems.

Reading: children are heard reading twice a week - either 1:1 with their own book or as part of a guided reading session.  They also experience weekly reading comprehension activities.

Handwriting: we follow a handwriting programme called Letter-Join.  This is an online interactive resource which aids the practice of cursive handwriting and uses interactive animations to demonstrate joined up letter formation.

Times tables: we love using Times Tables Rockstars in Class 2! It's a fun, interactive way of learning times tables using an online game - use your school login to have a go!
