Hello and a very warm welcome to the P1/2 class page! Mrs Leeke is our class teacher, and we are very lucky to have two wonderful classroom assistants Kathleen and Hannah. Our main mission this term is ensuring every child feels happy, safe, and excited to settle into school life and become a confident learner.

Our fascinating class topic is Nursery Rhymes, which we are using as a springboard for learning across all areas! 

In Literacy, we've been focusing on recount texts—learning how to tell a clear story about something that has happened. We even followed instructions to make a cake for the 'Pat-a-Cake' rhyme, which helped us understand the order of events!

In phonics, our P1s are developing crucial pre-reading skills by listening closely to rhymes and practising body percussion. This helps them hear and feel the rhythm of language, which is vital for phonics later on. Our P2s are building their reading foundation by mastering their initial phonics sounds and practising the correct letter formations for beautiful handwriting.

In Numeracy, We are exploring the building blocks of mathematics! This term, we are:

• Becoming fluent in number recognition and formation.

• Investigating $2D$ and $3D$ shapes in the world around us.

• Discovering how to spot, describe, and create patterns.

Important Information: 

• P.E.  is held every Tuesday. Please ensure your child comes to school dressed in their kit.

• We enjoy Outdoor Learning every Friday. 

We are so grateful for our incredible P7 buddies! They are fantastic role models and help us with everything, from shared reading and using technology in ICT to our art projects and adventures during outdoor time.

We will keep this page updated with photos and news, so check back often to see what we've been up to!
