2025-2026 Class Information

Class teacher - Mr Hume

Class teaching assistant - Mrs A Sporle

Our class PE day is on Thursday.

Homework

Reading for at least 10 minutes, 5 nights a week (this can just be a few pages and doesn’t have to be a whole book). You need to complete their reading record each time they read. We would very much appreciate you listening to your child’s reading/discussing their book with them and request that you sign your child’s reading record book and, if possible, add a comment. This will really help your child to progress in reading and writing. We check reading records on a weekly basis to ensure children are reading regularly.  Year 1 and 2 children will be changing their reading books on a daily basis. Please can you make sure your child has their reading record in school every day. If you have any issues or difficulties reading with your child each day then please come and speak to your child’s teacher, as your support at home is essential and reading at home is monitored as homework.

In science recently, Swifts have been learning all about minibeasts and their microhabitats. We used our super science skills of spotting patterns, to conduct a survey of which minibeasts were in which micro habitat. The children worked really well in their pairs to navigate around the school environment and took great care when they spotted a living thing. Well done Swifts!

This afternoon, we dodged the downpours and managed to get outside to make Leaf People based on the book Leaf Man.

Fabulous work everyone! ��������

I am sure that you will all be happy to hear that play rehearsals are going brilliantly.

Just a reminder to encourage your child to practise their lines and try to learn these off by heart. At some point in the near future, we will be expecting children to know each line without the prompt of their script so we would greatly appreciate you taking the time to practise with your child. This way we can focus on the acting part and use of props! ��
Thank you adults!

Swifts have had a fantastic few days back at school. The children have been working hard on their addition skills, learning a new method to bridge 10. In English, we have begun our new book 'Leaf'. We explored the illustrations and created statements. The children asked questions about the lonely polar bear.

We will continue to practise our play this week, focusing on expression- loud and slow!

16.10.25

This week, the children have been given their roles in our Year 1 &2 Christmas play, 'Lights, Camel, Action!'. We have been practising our lines and when the children need to perform.

All children have their own script, highlighted with their lines. Please could assist your child in practising, learning and performing their lines as much as possible as this will really help them and their confidence.

We will soon be giving out slips regarding their costumes so please do not worry about this yet.

We have asked that children bring in their script every day so we are able to practise whenever possible.

Any questions, please ask!

Many thanks,

Mr Hume

Today we have introduced our Christmas Play to all of Year 2.

The children have been given a snippet of the script, ready to all audition on Wednesday next week. Children can read a line off the page but it would be appreciated if you could practice this with them for next week with your child so they are ready to say a line or two to us.
We would like all children to have at least one line to say in the play but they can decide if they would prefer a 'big part' or a 'small part.'

After this, Miss Parker and myself can look at which role each child will have and get rehearsing.

Exciting times are coming!

Please ask if there are any questions about this.

Many thanks,
Mr Hume & Miss Parker

A gentle reminder that children may bring a different snack for morning break if they wish.
This must only be a piece of fruit, vegetables or a piece of cheese. No cereal bars, yoghurt, sweets, crisps, biscuits or other snacks are allowed.

29.9.25

Last week, the children worked incredibly hard creating their pinch pots. We used various different techniques to create the pot and then learnt how to make additions by using ‘clay glue’ called a slip to blend extra shapes. This was in the style of Ranti Bam. What a brilliant afternoon we had!

Reminder!
Forest School is on Monday (for this term's group only). Please note that your child needs a complete change of clothes. If it is easier, this can be brought into school tomorrow and left at school over the weekend, ready for Monday afternoon.

Many thanks,

Mr Hume
