WELCOME TO ELM CLASS
ADULTS IN CHESTNUT CLASS
We are a lovely class of year 1 and 2 children. Our teaching assistants are Mrs White, Miss Suleman and Miss Rasheed.
Mrs Atkin teaches us on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons.
HOME LEARNING
Lots of our weekly homework will need to be completed online. We will support children who are unable to access this at home. Your child will have a copy of their login details in the front of their reading diary. Over the first few weeks of term, we will teach your children how to login and direct them to the correct homework for the week. Please bear with us whilst we sort all the logins!! If you are unsure about any of these please let us know.

Children can complete and take part in as many badges as they wish. There are a variety of badges linked with many different themes. Have fun!
Topic Homework
Each half term, a topic homework grid is sent out within each key stage. You can also view an online version from this webpage. Please support your child by helping them complete some of the fun activities. They can bring in photographs or models to school to show us in class. You could also email the office with any photographs and we will look at them in class. All children will be awarded with house points and raffle tickets. Have fun!

ROUTINES
Please encourage your children to come into school independently. It may seem particularly hard for the year 1's at first, but they are doing really well and once in class they are happy and settled. Children are awarded house points, raffle tickets and stickers for showing independence. We have wonderful and experienced year 2's to help support the year 1's as they adjust to life in key stage 1.
Mornings in Key Stage 1- Year 1 children are taught English and Maths by Mrs. Ginty or Mrs. Heys. Year 2 children are taught by Mrs Evans and Mrs Buckle.
