Learners Class

Children in Learners class are Year 1 and 2. They are taught by Miss Cousins, Miss Greaves, Mrs Hogarth and Mrs Maxwell. 

We teach Maths and English daily and are proud to provide our full and rich curriculum to our children with lots of exciting learning opportunities, including regular visits to our own school forest. We enjoy Collective Worship together each day, where we explore different values each half term. 

Each Tuesday afternoon, we have IT lessons run by Mrs Gurney, providing us with valuable learning around technology. 

Learners Class are passionate about reading and enjoy stories and books together daily. Each child has their own reading record diary, which goes between home and school alongside each child’s reading book. These are used to record reading at home and are also brought in to school each day to record reading in class. 

Alongside reading at home, spellings are handed out each week. Please support your child’s reading at home by sharing and enjoying a book together each day – it really does make a difference! Children use the online tool ‘Sumdog’ to strengthen their Maths skills. On the programme, children have their own character and are rewarded with coins and prizes for completing homework tasks.
