Yellow Class 2025 - 2026
Mrs Somers
A huge welcome to our new Yellow Pears!
We are so excited to welcome you back to school, and to get our new routines and adventures in learning underway, not before hearing all about your summer adventures (big and small!).
Yellow Class is an exciting place to be right now, not only for the brilliant topics but also for our new learning environment! We are really looking forward to helping you grow and develop and continue to be your best selves in our new location!
Autumn learning:
Our learning journey in Year 2 launches with 'The Big Twist' where we look at a combination of themes in literacy of 'bravery v's fear' and 'A twist in the tale' through some intriguing books which will open our imaginations up to the quite unexpected! We have some brilliant books to delve into. In humanities we will look at Queens,Castles and Dragons...........something for each of our yellow pears to look forward to I'm sure! For more information on the wider curriculum learning please see the planning documents downloadable below.
Key information:
Staffing: I will be teaching in class the majority of the time, with Mrs Zatrakova being in class on Monday afternoons. We are lucky to have Mrs Howard and Mrs Beeston who will also be supporting the children through the whole week.
PE days are Tuesdays and Fridays. As usual, please come to school in PE kits on these days but do name all items so we can ensure belongings are well looked after and get returned if they go a -roaming!
Reading books will be changed each Friday. If your child is a rainbow reader this will be done more independently as and when your child needs a new reading adventure.
Reading diaries, snack/snack money and water bottles are needed in school each day.
Key Dates:
Meet the teacher meeting for Yellow class is 5pm Tuesday 9th September, should you not be able to attend, I will ensure the documentation is available in the downloadable area of this webpage - any further questions please do ask.
Home Learning:
As ever, it goes without saying, that your support is vital to help your child make the most of their learning opportunities in school. Daily reading with children is vital, and we greatly encourage this where possible in and amongst busy evenings. There will also be some suggested homework opportunities, which will be communicatied in the weekly email - usually a maths game or some small project work.
Communication:
To avoid the 'not much' reply, when you may ask your child what they did in school that week, I will send a Friday email to update you on our learning that week, celebrate stand out moments and communicate any changes to usual routines or key information. Additionally, we encourage communication of any changes to pick up/collection of children, or any other messages, through a note in their reading diary, which will be checked daily. We pride ourselves on a triangulation approach to ensure your child gets the best offering in Year 2, incorporating children, staff and parents voices. Please do not hesitate to speak to us either at drop off, or if further time is needed, a meeting can be arranged as necessary.
We can't wait to see you and get started together,
Mrs Somers
