Maths and English

Maths and English are taught in mixed-age classes 3/4 and 5/6. The children receive adult-led input, followed by a variety of adapted activities, pitched appropriately to best meet the diverse needs of the children. You can see what the children are learning about in the Curriculum section on this website. 

Homework will reinforce the children's learning each week. It will consist of a Maths activity and an English / Spelling activity. 

Religious Education (RE)

RE lessons are taught in mixed-age classes 3/4 and 5/6. What the children are learning about can be found on this website under the Curriculum tab. 

Teachers plan and lead prayer and liturgy with the children on a weekly basis. The children have the opportunity to plan and lead a liturgy once a term with the support of staff. They learn about setting the worship table with the relevant candles and cloths.  As they get older, they can take a greater role in leading prayer and liturgy for other pupils in the school.   

Where possible, we try and visit the church on a regular basis to share in Mass or just to have some time to sit, pray and reflect. 

Physical Education – PE 

The children have PE sessions twice a week. On Tuesday afternoons, years 3 and 4 go swimming, while years 5 and 6 stay in school to take part in PE.

Wider curriculum

Key Stage Two comes together for geography or history and art or D&T lessons. These lessons are currently taught by Miss Cavanagh.

PSHE, RE, Science and Spanish are taught in their usual classes, with their usual class teacher. 

Class 3/4 and 5/6 get one half-term of Forest School sessions per year.

Homework

The children in Class 2 are encouraged to read on a regular basis and are set homework on a weekly basis that is due on Wednesday morning. This includes:

• Maths: White Rose Maths Workbook 
• Multiplications: children should access TT Rockstars on a regular basis throughout the week. This is to help them with their recall of multiplication and division facts.
• Spellings: children will be given a set of spellings to learn each week. These will be tested on a weekly basis.
