Class 2 General Information

Welcome to Lion Class 

Lion class is made up of children in year 3, 4, 5 and 6. The children are taught by Mrs Hogarth, Mrs Bradshaw and Miss Solloway, they are supported by Mrs Houghton and Miss Howell at different times during the week. 

Maths, English and Phonics 

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

Maths will be taught by Mrs Hogarth and English will be taught by Mrs Bradshaw. The phonics will also be streamed across the school so all children will access the correct phase for their ability. 

Religious Education (RE)

The children are taught this subject as a key stage, with differentiated tasks for the different year groups. The scheme we use is called 'The Way, The Truth and The Life', this is supplemented with other creative ideas. 

Teachers plan and share 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 Friday. 
• Multiplications- children will be tested on these on a Friday. Please use to TTRockstars to practice. 
• Staff put extra work on Purple Mash to enhance the children's learning. 

All homework should be handed in on Wednesday. 

Physical Education - PE 

The children have PE sessions on a Tuesday and Friday. It is important that they have full PE kit in school every day in case of timetable changes. Some children in Class 2 swim on a Tuesday afternoon at Lancaster University. The parents of these children have been notified, further assessments will take place just before half term.
