Welcome to Willow Class!
Here you will find everything you need to know about life in Year 2.
In Willow class we have 4 adults who support us with our learning. Mrs Dunford is the main class teacher. She is also the school SENDCo and has time out of class to cover this role. Mrs Jordan-Gill covers this time on a Wednesday and Thursday morning. Sometimes this changes if Mrs Jordan-Gill has a meeting that she needs to attend. Miss Barnett supports in class all day Monday - Friday and Mr Bell supports in Year 2 every afternoon.
Each morning we come in and complete a Magic Mover job. This helps us all to improve our gross and fine motor skills. After the register we start our Maths session. After this session, we have our Phonics input. During Phonics we learn alternative graphemes for our phonemes and learn a variety of spelling rules. At 10. 30, we have playtime and snack. Our final session of the morning is English. In English we immerse ourselves in a high quality text and learn important writing skills. At 12pm we have lunch and playtime. At 1pm our afternoon learning begins. During the afternoon, we cover the foundation subjects. These include; P.E, History, Geography, Computing, R.E, Music, Art, DT, Science and PSHE. We teach our foundation subjects through half termly topics
Our P.E days are Wednesday and Thursday.
We change our reading books on Tuesday and Friday.
During the day we have the opportunity to earn Dojo points for showing our three school values. Dojo points can be awarded by our class adults or other adults around the school.
At the beginning of the week, Mrs Jordan-Gill will share a learning attribute with us which is linked to our school values. Throughout the week we discuss the learning attribute in class and work hard to demonstrate this. When we are spotted demonstrating the chosen attribute, our name is put in our class star jar. When it is full we receive a class reward.
We have a calm and inviting classroom and have an inclusive approach to teaching and learning. In Willow class we recognise that every child is unique and we celebrate each other and our successes often.
