Class 2 General Information

Welcome to Lion Class 

Lion class is made up of children in year 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Class teachers: Mrs Rawsthorne and Mr Wood 

Teaching assistants: Mr Coughlan and Mrs Houghton. 

Maths, English and Phonics 

During the morning sessions, the children will be streamed according to their age. 

Year 3 & 4 will be taught by Mr Wood, Year 5 & 6 taught by Mrs Rawsthorne.

The children in Class 2 concentrate on different spelling rules, punctuation and grammar (GPS). The spellings that are sent home on a weekly basis reflect what has been taught, and should be practiced on a regular basis ready for the weekly test. 

Religious Education (RE)

The children are taught this subject as a key stage, with differentiated tasks for the different year groups. The curriculum can be found under the Curriculum tab on this website. 

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.

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

Homework

The children in Class 2 are set homework on a weekly basis.

• English sheet 
• Maths sheet 
• Reading on a regular basis, we encourage at least 4 times a week. 
• Spellings- children will be given a set of spellings to learn each week, these will be tested on a weekly basis. 
• 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. 

Physical Education - PE 

The children have PE sessions on a Tuesday and Wednesday. We take the children in Year 3 & 4 swimming on a Tuesday, afternoon at Lancaster University; the parents of these children will be notified on a termly basis.
