Welcome to Wrekin Class! I am Mrs Bray, the class teacher, and I am thrilled to share this year with our wonderful Year 1 and Year 2 children. Alongside me are the fantastic Miss Porter and Mrs Ritchings. Together, we form a dedicated team, and we are here to support every child on their journey.
In Wrekin Class, we nurture an environment built on mutual respect and kindness. We believe that every child has the potential to flourish, and we are committed to helping them become the best they can be. Our beautiful school, nestled in the heart of the countryside, offers us the perfect backdrop to explore and learn. We take every opportunity to engage with nature, fostering curiosity and igniting a passion for learning in all our students.
As a school we are passionate about promoting a love of learning and reading. This is why we encourage partnership between school and home. In Year 1 and 2 this is through daily reading at home (which is tracked through our reading records), Mathletics tasks, TT rocks stars and accelerated reader quizzes for those in Year 2. Year one will receive new books every Thursday alongside a phonics sheet to support that weeks learning. Year 2 are able to change their books on completion of an accelerated quiz or when they have finished their current book. All information on how to access these resources for free will be located in the back of students reading records.
On Thursday and Friday we have French and Music. We are incredibly fortunate to have two specialist teachers who provide this provision.
Fridays is PE and Forest school for Wrekin class. Please can children be dropped of in school PE kit and bring clothes suitable for the forest to get changed into.
Golden Time takes place every Friday afternoon. All pupils start with their full 30minutes. If pupils make choices that go against our values and golden rules, they will be reminded of our expectations, and we call this ‘Let’s Think’. If pupils make further poor choices, they loose increments of 5 minutes from their Golden Time. This time will then be spent with a member of staff, exploring the choices that were made and how we can support better choices going forward. Golden Time resets every Monday.
Please find below, information regarding this terms learning, key dates and curriculum.
