Wellhouse Junior and Infant School

Who is in Class 2?

Mrs Preston is our teacher, and supporting us is Mrs Davies, Mrs Wood, Mrs Dickinson and Mrs Haigh. 

Mrs Garside also teaches us on a Tuesday.

What do I need to remember?

It is important that we all bring our reading record and book with us each day as we may need to read with a member of staff throughout the day. We also collect merits in our reading record. 

We have a weekly book change on a Friday in school. This is when children will change their reading book with an adult. 

Tuesday afternoons and Friday afternoons are our PE days. Children will change for PE at school, this will usually be outside. PE kit must be labelled and left at school in a named bag.

Although lessons can move around, here is a general timetable of what will be happening each week.

Current topics 

Our topic for Spring term 2 is 'Lets go to the coast.'

In Literacy we are reading 'The Puffin Keeper' by Michael Morpurgo. The children are going to have a go at writing a diary entry writing from the perspective of the main character in the story. In Maths our topics this half term for Year 2 is money. The Year 3 and 4 children will be learning about statistics and then moving onto position and direction. In Science the Year 2 children will be learning all about life cycles and how to stay healthy. In Year 3 and 4 the children are learning all about light and shadows. In art we will be collaging a piece of seaside themed art. In Music we will be learning all sea shanties and listening to different styles of music. In Computing we will be continuing to develop digital literacy skills by creating fact files. In PSHE we are following myhappymind and our topic this half term is relate.

In Geography we are learning all about the human and physical features of costal landscapes. In PE we are learning about Cricket this half term with the PE coach. With Mrs Preston we will be learning to play tag rugby.

What can you do at home?

One of the most important things you can do at home to help your child is reading with them. Your child has access to many books in school and are also able to bring them home. Please fill in the reading record book whenever you have shared a book together or listened to your child read.

They can also log onto TT Rockstars to practice their times tables at home. Another great website for maths practice is topmarks, which has educational games to develop their fluency.

Each week your child will bring home a set of spellings. Please make sure they practice these regularly throughout the week ready for our tests on Friday afternoons.
