Welcome to Rainbow class!

Rainbow Class

Welcome to Rainbow Class.

This is the online home of Year 2 and this is where you can get up to date information about what is happening in our class. I am Mrs Parkinson the class teacher, and I am supported by Mrs Bradley and Mrs Dorota. We will regularly write a class blog and upload this to the website. Here you will find all the up to date information on what we have been learning in class so that you can discuss this with your child.

We try to learn through having lots of fun, being outdoors, communicating with each other and being as practical and hands on as much as possible. We have created our own class charter for how we are all going to be safe and look after each other in Rainbow class. We know how important it is to always be happy and feel safe. We endeavour to show mutual respect at all times; to be kind, accepting and polite.

Each Monday I will provide list of spellings to learn for a test the following Friday. These are important words to support with reading and writing activities so please help your child to learn these words at home. We will be learning these spellings daily in class also.

This year we will have a big push on learning our 2, 5 and 10 times tables off by heart and the corresponding division facts, so again please support where possible with this.

Please also ensure your child has their reading book in school every day as we read at least 3 times a week in class. Children should aim to read every night at home. In year 2 we build on using expression and intonation when reading aloud.

Our PE days are Tuesdays and Fridays, so please send your child to school wearing their full PE kits on these days.

If you have any queries or questions about Rainbow class, please do not hesitate to email sparkinson@poolhouse.lancs.sch.uk and I will respond as soon as possible.
