Welcome to Swallows

Swallows are small familiar garden birds, best known for their bright orange-red breast. In Swallows class we are kind and polite to others and always try our best, no matter the challenge!

In year 2, we love discovering new things and taking on new learning challenges. Our learning journey this year begins with our project 'Survival' which links science, art and D&T. Next, we are going to be learning all about different ways that people used to keep in touch and how we keep in touch now. During the Spring term, our focus is all about lights and religious celebrations, before we move onto looking at plants and the Easter story. Our final topics for the year are based around the anglo-saxons and a whole school art project to finish the year.

In Swallows, we think about our learning behaviour and consider our choices carefully. We learn from our mistakes and support each other. We collect house points and stars in the jar for making the right choices and together we have chosen our rewards:

Frist reward	Second reward	Third reward	Fourth reward
15 minutes extra break	Busy time	Movie afternoon	Building dens

We look forward to sharing our learning with you so come back to this page to find our home learning, photos and other exciting news throughout the year.

Our teacher - Miss Weber

I am very excited to be teaching year 2 this year, and look forward to creating a thriving and welcoming learning environment in our Robins class. I look forward to exploring the world with the children through our exciting projects this year as well as our school trips. One of my favourite subjects to teach is Maths, and I can't wait to start breaking down and discovering number bonds with the Robins. On the weekends, you will often find me spending time outdoors, swimming in hopefully not too cold lakes or baking gluten free and vegan cakes.

OUR CLASS BOOKS FOCUS

This term our class books will be all linked to our project 'Sewing it altogether'. We will be exploring an array of genres, both fiction and non-fiction allowing us to become real experts on the different types of materials and fabrics that are being used for everyday clothing items and general objects.
