Class  2

Welcome to Class 2 at Longtown Primary School

Dear Parent,

We are very excited to be starting a new academic year.  This year our Class will be called Class Two and it will be made up of Year One and Year Two pupils. Class Two will be taught by Mrs Jefferies, Mrs Pardoe (Fridays) and Mrs Manning.

Our topic this half term is ‘The Great Fire of London'. Please see our topic web on the curriculum page for further details of coverage. 

The children will as ever, access a broad and rich curriculum and take part in RE, Art, PE , RSE, Music and of course Forest School!

PE will be on a Tuesday and Friday. Please could children wear their kit to school on those days. Please make sure their PE kit follows school guidelines.

Forest School will be every Wednesday. Please can children wear their old clothes and wellies to school.

Once the children have settled back into school, we will set some home learning tasks. We ask that your child reads as much as possible, ideally every night. Book bags will be changed every week and progress monitored. Please let us know how they are getting on and when you read your schoolbooks with your child.

Children will have spellings to complete. These will link to the spelling patterns taught in class and be given out for the half term. A spelling test will be held on a Friday.

Maths homework is accessed through the ‘Numbots’ game. All children have a ‘Numbots’ log in. Your child’s log in is attached. NumBots is an online game and playing little and often will significantly improve your child’s recall and understanding of number bonds and addition and subtraction facts. These are critical foundations in maths so we are excited by the impact NumBots will have.

We have many adventures planned for this year and we are excited to get started. Please get in touch if you have any questions or queries.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs Jefferies, Mrs Pardoe & Mrs Manning
