Owl Class
Welcome to Owl Class
Welcome to Owl Class
Owl Class is taught by Mrs Walker (our teacher) and supported by Miss Benjamin (our teaching assistant). As part of our wellbeing curriculum, our Year 1 and 2 students are learning to be CALM.
Each day begins with a focus on Phonics, Reading, English and Maths skills with plenty of opportunities to revisit these areas of learning. In our afternoon lessons, the children learn to develop and apply their skills in a range of subjects including Science, History, Geography, Art, DT, Music, RE, PSHE, and PE.
We encourage the children to read and a love of reading is fostered with daily reading times. This includes reading to an adult and being read to by an adult. The children have opportunities to use their Oracy skills and discuss what they have been reading about or heard in the story.
At the start of each term we will send home a letter with details about our learning, including PE days and expectations for reading and homework.
Supporting your child with their learning
To support the children with their learning it is really important that they get to practise reading daily, counting numbers forwards and backwards and looking at putting objects into equal groups.
Each half term you are given a list of activities that support the learning taking place in class for that half term.
Year 2 children start using Times Table Rock Stars in February to help with their understanding of multiplication and division.
