Class 2
Welcome to Class 2 2024-25
Mrs Taylor and Mrs Merrill are looking forward to welcoming you back to their classroom.
Summer 1 2025
I hope that you have all had a lovely Easter Holiday. The daffodils and tulips are looking very beautiful which is lovely to see. We have a busy term ahead with the children learning about a village in Zambia and comparing it to Burscough. Also we have a great science topic investigating Materials! We will continue to water and care for our vegetable plants which are doing amazing! Happy Summer Term!
Our Religious Education this Summer term is To the Ends of The Earth
Our Religious Education learning is now Branch 5 To the Ends of The Earth. Here is our display with some children's work. We have spent prayerful times here.
Handwriting
In order to make the transition to cursive (joined) handwriting easier later on in school, we have moved to precursive handwriting in Year 1. This will allow the children to see where the letters join together and also allows the pencil to flow more freely without coming off the paper.
Year 2 will move onto cursive writing when they are confident with their letter joins.
TOP TIP
Reading
Read with and to your children. Listen to them read regularly as this helps their confidence and their writing too. Read different books: Stories, Fact books, comics, cards and letters. 
Buy your child a small notebook and a pencil. They can write in it, describing all the things that you do together or things that they have done with their friends. A fun resource and can encourage an interest in writing.
Seesaw
Our class is going to be using an online tool called Seesaw, it’s a secure online learning journal where children can create and upload their work to document their learning.
Your child will add things like photos, videos, worksheets, drawings and voice recordings to their Seesaw journal.
Seesaw journals are private and only accessible by the teacher, students, and parents.
Physical Education - PE lessons will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays: On Tuesday it is delivered by the Lancashire sports partnership. All children must wear suitable clothing.
