A very warm welcome to Ravenscar’s Class Page!

Our class is made up of Year 2 pupils, our teacher is Mr Peterson. We also have Mrs Jones, Mrs Totten and Mrs W in our class who support all our learning.

Please keep up to date by following your child on class dojo where important information will be shared. Photos of some of the children’s experiences throughout the year will also be posted. It is so lovely to see your comments on there.

Our PE days for the Autumn Term are Tuesday and Friday. Please ensure your children bring the appropriate, labelled school PE kit. We will send PE kits home at the end of each half term.

Reading

We love reading in Ravenscar and have a range of Recommended Reads available for each year group. When we get the chance, we enjoy reading books on our own and to each other. We will vote at the start of term for our class novel. These will be by a range of authors and all have different themes.

Initially all children will continue to take part in Reading Practise sessions using the Big Cat Little Wandle books. After 5 weeks we will assess the Year 2 Children to see if the children have achieved the Reading Speed Little Wandle recommend and have completed the Little Wandle Phonics Programme. Children who achieve this will move on to accessing Whole Class Reading Sessions.

To help with reading, we use Little Wandle as our phonics scheme which is a comprehensive programme that identifies any ‘gaps’ in knowledge and ensures children become fluent readers and can access the curriculum as a whole. Year 2 children who have completed the code move on to accessing Spelling Shed which will help them to secure a range of strategies for spelling unfamiliar words and teach them a range of Spelling Rules.

Maths

In maths we will be following ‘White Rose Maths’ topics of work and will use a mixture of White Rose resources as well as teacher created resources to ensure that there is a comprehensive coverage of the curriculum with a mixture of practical and written work. In each topic area, children will have lots of opportunities to develop their fluency, reasoning and problem-solving skills. We also have 15 minutes each day where children access White Rose Fluency Bee, this allows children to continue to practise key knowledge and promotes the fast recall of these key facts.
