Welcome to class 2’s 2023 – 2024 class page.
In Class 2 there are 2 teachers, Mrs Gobourn and Mrs Williams. Mrs Gobourn teaches at the beginning of the week and Mrs Williams teaches at the end of the week. We also have Mrs Malone, Miss Henderson and Mrs Hart who are 1:1 TA’s.
We currently have children in Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 in this class. We have Guided Reading, English, Maths and Collective Worship each morning. Afternoons focus on foundation subjects where we have key questions that we explore. Sometimes all year groups work together but we also have year group specific inputs. The great thing about our small class size is that learning is adapted to every child’s needs so they can all thrive.
The children have P.E on a Monday and Thursday and we are lucky to have a specialist sports coach deliver these session.
We have Maths and Spelling homework every Monday and this is then due in on a Thursday.
Our Topic for the autumn term is ‘The Stone Age to the Iron Age’. Please read our overview for more information on our current topic.
