Pott Shrigley Class 2 2020 - 2021

Mrs Blackwell

MARCH 2021

This week we have welcomed back our last class member so we are now all back learning together. It is wonderful to have the school buzzing with chatter and laughter again!

Over the next few weeks we are going to ensure the children settle back into the routine of school. It is important to make sure they are feeling happy and safe in the classroom as we all adjust to the new 'normal ' of school.

We also welcome Miss Ferguson to Class 2 - she is currently studying for a B.A. in Primary Education and will be assisting with the children's teaching and learning.

During the first week back we are considering ' No Outsiders in our school' we will be looking at different texts which explore equality and human rights - by the end of the week hopefully the children will have had time to reflect on how we can demonstrate to anyone visiting the school that Pott Shrigley Church School celebrates diversity and everyone is welcome in our school.

We would like the children to prepare a topic during for our English lessons - this will allow the children to choose an interest/sport/author/historical subject etc. that they want to present in a written format. This should be a subject they want to investigate and discover more. We will show examples and provide help in planning and researching their chosen topic. On the final week we are going to ask the children to present a short talk on their topic to the class.

We are going to reinstate the bi-weekly spelling tests so the children will have spellings to learn each week. The children still have 'log ins' to The Spelling Shed where they can enter their Stage (same as their year group) and have fun with the word games and challenges.

Weekly practice is given to timestables in class - at home chilren can access Timestables Rockstars to keep testing their Timestable knowledge.

If parents have any queries or are worried about anything in particular about their child please do not hesitate to contact myself or Ms Bromley.

Warmest wishes

Mrs Blackwell
