Otley and Witnesham Partnership

Class 2 is a fun, supportive class, made up of Year 1 and Year 2. Our teacher is Miss Tabeart and our LSAs are Mrs Wilson, Mrs Cooke and Mrs Goodall.

We follow the National Curriculum and enjoy studying a wide range of History and Geography topics, including maps, explorers, toys and castles. We love going on educational trips when we can, to find out more about these topics.

In Class 2, we learn in many different ways, including small group work, partner work and class discussions. We like to play lots of games linked to what we are learning about and to share lots of stories. Our learning is often practical and active.

We also like to learn outside of the classroom! This can range from practising spellings and sounds on the playground with chalk to putting our wellies on and completing activities in the woodland area. Learning outside helps us to learn more about our environment and how we can protect it.

Throughout the year, we have the chance to perform in a Christmas play as well as in class assemblies. This helps to develop our confidence in speaking and listening.

In Class 2 homework usually includes spellings and reading as well as a Maths or English activity. We hear children reading as much as possible at school as this is an important skill to develop.
