Welcome

Welcome to Class 2's page!

 

Our class teachers are Mrs Hooper and Mrs Smith.

Other adults who support us are Miss Caines, Mrs Bye, Mr Houghton and Mrs Glover.

 

Our themes for the Spring Term are - 'Why is the history of my locality significant?' and ‘Why does it matter where my food comes from?’

 

Our first theme is a history theme - 'Why is the history of my locality significant?'.

Here the children will be finding the answers to questions such as:

Why was one of Britain’s largest prisons built in the middle of Devon? What did Arthur find in 1927 and why is it amazing? Why do we remember the achievements of two men named Francis?


Our second is a geography theme - ‘Why does it matter where my food comes from?’

Here the children will be finding the answers to questions such as:

What is a farm is and what happens on a dairy farm? How milk is used as a raw material of dairy products? How do weather conditions in Cornwall and Devon compare with those of the UK as a whole? What is trade and what does importing and exporting mean? What are the most popular fruits consumed in the UK and where in the world are they produced? What does ‘free range’ mean?

A copy of this theme's home learning grid will be sent home at the start of the theme and uploaded onto the 'Home Learning' section on the website. Home learning can be recorded in the homework books, via photos, models etc. Home learning books will be given out on a Friday and expected back in school the following Wednesday to enable feedback to be given. 

 

Reading is really important and we want our children to develop a love of reading and books. Please try and read with your child every night. 

 

Our online blog page will be kept as up-to-date as possible, with photographs uploaded so you can see what we are getting up to! Please feel free to also have a look at our half-term overview and weekly timetable (in the curriculum section).

 

If you have any questions, queries or problems throughout the year then please feel free to come and see us or a member of our team at the end of the school day.

 

Thank you for your continued support!
