Class 2L

Welcome to our new class page.

This web page will be updated with useful information and photographs of the fantastic work we have done in class and learning outside the classroom, so please check it regularly.

Key information

In Class 2L Mr Latif will be broadening prior experiences through learning activities which are interesting, fun and unforgettable!

PE is on THURSDAY.

On Thursday remember to come to school in your PE uniform.

This includes:

your blue shorts and white t-shirt underneath your blue tracksuit for outdoor learning. Your trainers should be plain black.

Home Reading Bag

It is really important to drink plenty of water throughout the day, so please bring a water bottle to keep in class.

You can buy a Home Reading Bag from school for £3.50.

Class Charter

In class, we have been thinking about our rights. We have started the year by thinking about how every Right Holder (child) has the right to an education.

Children have shared their ideas about what responsibilities they have as Right Holders to ensure everybody can enjoy their right. We have also thought about what Duty Bearers’ (adults) responsibilities are.

We all made a fish to show that we agree to taking responsibility of our actions to help each other learn.

British values

As British citizens,we know the difference between right and wrong and we respect people's different opinions and choices. These are known as British Values.

In school, we promote all of the British Values:

- The Rule of Law

- Democracy

- Individual Liberty

- Mutual Respect and Tolerance

We look at a different value each week in Collective Time and we share our opinions and listen to others.

Homework

We aim to change reading books every day so practise your reading every night. Reading and talking about your home reading book every night for ten minutes will develop your understanding of different sorts of texts.

Also, you should practise your reading and spelling of tricky words using your spelling card.

You should practise your number bonds and later in the year your 2, 5 and 10 times tables.
