We are supported by Mrs Meehan and Mrs James-Davidson. In Foxes class, we know children learn best by doing. As they move from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 2, we help them become more independent learners. During lessons, children have chances to use what they’ve learned in different ways. They can choose activities that let them explore, create, and practise their skills. This helps them grow in confidence and take more responsibility for their learning.
Morning Mastery: We start each morning with our Mastering Number sessions, building strong number fluency and confidence in maths.
Maths and English are part of our daily routine, helping us become confident problem-solvers and creative writers. As part of our English lessons, we also include spelling practice at least twice a week. The same spelling words are sent home for children to learn, ready for a spelling test every Thursday.
Furthermore, we enjoy reading lessons at least three times a week, diving into amazing stories that spark our imagination. Each child also has their own reading book that goes home and comes back to school every day, with the expectation that they read to an adult for at least 10 minutes daily.
Our foundation subjects such as, RE, PE, Geography, History and PSHE are woven through the week to keep learning varied and exciting. PE happens twice a week so everyone gets two hours of active fun, and we also have FIT15 every day, where we head outside and get moving around the school track for 15 minutes. It’s a great way to stay healthy and energised!
In Year 3, learning times tables is super important! We use Times Tables Rockstars to make practice fun and competitive. Children take part in these sessions at least four times a week for 30 minutes in school, and it’s also part of their homework to keep building speed and confidence with multiplication facts.
We enjoy daily worship together. On Mondays, Mrs Hill welcomes the whole school back for a special start to the week. Tuesdays are filled with singing worship, and on Wednesdays we join Reverend Peter for church worship. Thursdays are Key Stage worship for Years 1, 2 and 3, and on Fridays we celebrate achievements in our celebration worship.
We enjoy a 15-minute morning break and a full hour for lunch. For morning break, our Key Stage 2, children bring their own healthy snack—fruit or vegetables are perfect! At lunchtime, children can choose to bring a packed lunch from home or enjoy a school dinner cooked on site.
