Welcome to Class 2!
We are a class of Year 2 children.
Our class teacher is Mrs Adamson and our TA is Mrs Fenton,
who helps us every day.
APPLE Time
In Class 2 we enjoy APPLE Time!
A
Purposeful
Practical
Learning
Experience
APPLE time is a transition from the play-based curriculum as experienced in Reception and Year 1 to the more independent learning as seen in Key Stage 2.
During APPLE time the children are doing practical and fun activities independently, based on the learning objective for that lesson.
This allows them to develop the resilience and confidence to become independent learners, while also allowing the teacher and TA to support and extend those children who are working on a main teaching activity.
The children love the opportunity to develop and extend their learning, while having fun. While the activities may be independent, the children are often given opportunities to work in pairs or as a team and therefore can develop the vital skills needed to successfully work with others.
PE
Our regular PE day will be Tuesday.
Please note that due to adjustments being made to the timetable to accommodate a recovery curriculum, we have decided to reduce the number of PE sessions each week to one session.
The PE kit should include a white t-shirt, black shorts and daps or trainers. The children may also wear a tracksuit for PE on colder days.
Homework
Homework will usually be sent home on a Friday, with the expectation that it is completed and returned to school the following Thursday.
Please encourage your child to complete their homework each week, as it consolidates the work we have done in school and supports their learning.
