Orangutans- Year 1 & Year 2

Welcome to Orangutans!

Our grown ups

Mrs Brudzinski is our class teacher on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Mrs Smith is our class teacher on Thursdays and Fridays.

Miss Snood is our class teaching assistant.

We are a mixed year 1 and 2 class! We have very positive attitudes towards learning and embrace new learning experiences and challenges! We never give up even when something can seem tricky, you will often hear us saying "we can't do it YET" or "just keep trying". We are very hard-working, and understand mistakes are part of learning. We work collaboratively when working in groups or with a partner; we love to share our learning, ideas and experiences with each other. Our grown ups like our lessons to be fun, enjoyable and interactive; they encourage us to immerse ourselves in our learning. They have high expectations for us and want us to achieve the best whilst being the best versions of ourselves we can be! We are kind, caring and thoughtful friends, looking out for one another and comforting each other if we are feeling sad or hurt.

Our topic this half-term is Monarchs, Myths and Legends

We have PE on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Children will need to come to school in their PE kit on Tuesdays and Wednesdays . Children should wear a white or green round neck t shirt, navy or black shorts or jogging bottoms and plimsolls or trainers. Long hair MUST be tied back. If possible, earrings should be removed, however they can be covered with plasters or micro-pore tape if they are unable to be taken out.

Spelling homework will be sent home every Friday. The children need to complete this by the following Wednesday. We also expect your child to read daily at home, where possible. They will receive a stamp on their Bear Hunt or Stick Man sheet for each piece of homework completed.

Your child's reading book will be changed once a week, every Friday. Please make sure your child brings their reading book into school every day. We expect children to read at home, and this to be recorded in their reading diary.
