Walworth Primary School

Welcome to Class 2

All About us

In Class 2, we follow a broad and balanced curriculum to allow our children to be independent and successful learners, develop independence and be responsible citizens. We are ambitious in Class 2 and want children to build strong, positive relationships with both staff and their peers, this will then allow them to be confident individuals and prepare them for adulthood.

Class 2 have PE on a Tuesday Afternoon and go for swimming lessons on a Friday morning during the Spring Term. We have worked with a music specialist on a Thursday afternoon who supports the delivery of our music curriculum. Our kitchen time is a Wednesday morning. Throughout the year we will cook a variety of sweet and savoury items. This will link to our chosen topics within each term. We will also be looking at how to prepare food safely and hygienically, as well as looking at healthy options.

As a school we also have 2 minibuses, which we try to use as much as possible during the school year to experience Culture Capital. Children will visit a local city which links to our geography of discovering what is around the United Kingdom. We are also hoping to visit a church and find out why the bible is important to the Christian religion and how religion helps Christians in their everyday lives.

English

In Class 2 we aim to teach our English Curriculum using a class book. This year we have used, ‘You Can’t Eat a Princess’ and ‘Who’s afraid of the big bad book?’ By Lauren Childs,

Maths

As a school we follow the White Rose long term plan, encouraging children to develop their learning using the concrete – pectoral – abstract approach (CPA). Children also practice their times tables in numerous ways including Times Table Rock Stars. Children further develop their knowledge each morning on arrival to school by completing daily morning calculations involving the main four operations as well as calculations based upon current and previous topics.
