Welcome to Key Stage 2

 

Ms McCluskey and Mrs Gotheridge teach Key Stage Two, assisted by Mrs Mason, Miss Sloane and Mr Lee. Our classroom is an active place of learning, full of fun, but with a buzz about what we are about to learn next!

Ms McCluskey teaches Key Stage 2 all day Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Mrs Gotheridge teaches all day Thursday and Friday. 

 

Homework:

Y5/6 Maths homework is given out each Wednesday by Ms McCluskey and is to be returned the following Monday. English homework is given out by Mrs Gotheridge each Friday, to be returned the following Thursday.

 

 

 

Tests:

Spelling tests for all children will take place each Friday. The new list for the test the following week will also be given out on a Friday.

Times tables tests for all children will take place every Monday.

 

This term we will be embarking on a virtual Road Trip of America. Our cross curricular topic approach to learning allows the children to make links and to develop a greater depth of understanding in all curriculum areas. Please see this term's curriculum plan for further details.We enjoy learning through a cross curricular themed approach, and help children to see the bigger picture in their learning about the world around them.

Make Learning Fun!

These websites are particularly good for educational purposes and also are great fun for children!

If you can find any way to use these little and often with your child, it will really help them with their work in school.

They are fun and stimulating… but will keep your mind working!

Some have a small cost attached but some are free.. but you choose which suit you and your child best.

Let us know how you get on!
