Welcome to Class 2
We are so excited to begin a new year of learning, fun and adventures together.
Our classroom is a happy and welcoming place where everyone is encouraged to learn, be kind, try their best and enjoy discovering new things. We have lots of exciting activities and opportunities planned throughout the year.
We look forward to working together and making Class 2 a wonderful place to learn!
PE and Forest Schools
PE days are scheduled for every Monday and Thursday this term, children need to come into school wearing their PE kit please on those days. We will have forest school sessions on alternate Fridays.
Homework
Whilst we are aware that the children are very busy and need time to relax, socialise and play, a small amount of homework will help them to develop independence and revisit learning from the classroom.
