Miss Sunderland is our teacher. Mrs Spence and Mrs Pointon also work in our class.
We have an interactive whiteboard and two computers. We also use our laptops to do our work on.

Patch is our class teddy. He is called Patch because he has got lots of patches. He goes on visits with children. He has been to lots of different places. He goes to children's houses as well and helps them learn about plants, their favourite toys and other things.

Science

In science we enjoy growing plants. We also visit the Valley Gardens to play on the park equipment and find out about forces.

Welcome to Y2C

In our class we have 30 children – 13 boys and 17 girls. We are all year 2 children. Our teacher is called Mrs Cowell and we have a school assistant who helps in our class. Her name is Mrs Ward.
Assembly Monitors When you are in year 2 you have a turn at being an assembly monitor. Each week there are two monitors who help Mrs Tricker, our headteacher. The duties include putting out chairs for the adults, getting things ready for assembly, changing the calendar and holding the doors open for the other classes.
Recycling In our school we recycle paper, plastic, card, glass, ink cartridges and stamps. On Friday mornings the two assembly monitors help collect all the items together, ready to be taken to the recycling depot.
Drawers In year 2 we all have our own drawers in the classroom where we keep our books, papers and tabards. Each drawer is labelled with our names and we have drawn pictures and patterns for a border.
Classroom Monitors Each day two children are on duty and they take the register to the office in the morning and after lunch. When we have eaten our fruit they take the fruit tray to the kitchen. They also put out and bring in the thermometer and complete our weather charts. In some of our lessons we have been learning about healthy living. We observed a variety of fruit and found out which countries the fruit comes from. After producing pictures and paintings of the fruit, we made our own fruit salad. In history we are going on a visit to Ryedale Folk Museum where we can do washing as it was done in Victorian times.

YRL

Our Class

Miss Laycock is our teacher in reception and Miss Crowcroft is our teaching assistant. We enjoy having lots of different role play areas in our classroom and we create the three bears’ house, a home, a post office, a pet shop, a train station and a garden centre.

ICT

We enjoy using toys like the Bee-Bots to programme a series of moves. We use the laptops and the interactive whiteboard in our classroom to help us learn about lots of different topics.

SEAL

We try to be kind to each other in our class, we learn how to talk about what happens and we listen carefully to each other. We work in groups inside and outside and we can share and help one another.

Growing

We like to grow lots of different things in our class such as cress and potatoes. We make sandwiches with egg and cress and cook our potatoes to eat.

Visits

We go to the farm to learn about animals and their young, we usually go to Cannon Hall Farm where we can see lots of different animals and feed them and stroke them.

We try to be imaginative and creative and learn at the same time!

Welcome to the Nursery

There are 65 children in our nursery who attend for a half-day session. The nursery teacher is called Mrs Barraclough and we have some other adults who work with us. 13 children a day can attend wraparound. These children stay in nursery all day and have a lunch in school. In our nursery we have a workshop area where we can make models or do sticky pictures, we have painting, sand, water and salt dough or clay out every day. We have different role play areas where we can dress up. At the moment we have a house and a café but this changes depending on the topic we are doing. We have construction and small world activities out where we learn to share and play alongside or with other children. We enjoy doing jigsaws and playing maths and literacy games, especially if a grown up plays with us. We have two computers in our nursery which we can use all the time, some of us are very good at changing the programs and printing our own work.Every day we have singing and stories. We like to be outside as much as possible. We have lots of climbing equipment, bicycles, scooters and ride on toys. We enjoy climbing into our gravel pit and playing with the diggers and trucks. We have a large art board where we can share to make big pictures. We have just bought a new sandpit for outside so we can have sand and water out every day. We have a library where children can borrow a book every week to read at home with a parent or carer. Every day we have milk and some fruit.

Visit to Cusworth Hall

To help us with our history and geography work we went to Cusworth Hall near Doncaster. We really enjoyed finding out about life in the past, particularly the toys and games. We looked round the museum and we played with some old fashioned toys.

Billy Bear

We have a bear which we can take to different places. He has been to the seaside, the park, football matches, Xscape and museums. We write about what we have done, draw a picture and take some photographs to show to the class.

Outdoor Activities

In some of our lessons we work outside in the playground near our classroom. We use a variety of equipment and the markings on the playground.

Growing Plants

Outside our classroom we have some pots where we grow plants and flowers. We plant vegetables and when they have grown they are cooked in the school kitchen for us to eat.
