Year 1 and 2- Mrs Spence 2025 - 2026

Mrs Spence

Hello and welcome to our class page!

In our class, we have lots of fun being curious learners and endevour to follow our school values: Love, Growth and Strength.

A typical day in our classroom looks like this:

Assembly
Phonics (Essential Letters and Sounds)
English
Playtime
Maths
Lunch time
Foundation subject (such as Art and Design, History, Music, Science etc)
Playtime
Foundation Subject
Handwriting and Daily Read Aloud
Home time at 3:20pm

Every Friday we have a Celebration Assembly where parents and carers are invited to come and watch us get our certificate. Each Wednesday, our teachers send home a secret invitation to one of our growns.... but ssshhh, it's a surprise! We don't find out who is getting the certificate until we're in our special Friday celebration assembly!

When we have been busy using our brains, we sometimes have a quick movement break (which always involves singing and plenty of dance moves!).

We love to read in our class - reading helps you to grow and takes you on amazing adventures. What are your favourite books to read?

How can you help us at home?

Our grown-ups can help support our learning at home by helping us to practise our weekly spellings, listen to us read our ELS book at least three times a week and help us to learn our times tables ( X2, X5 and X10).

Keep an eye on our gallery to see what we've been getting up to on our learning journey! Ask us about our day at school.
