Welcome to Duffy class – our teachers this year are Mrs Bell and Mrs Beale and our Learning Support Assistant is Mrs Hartigan.
In Duffy, we create a positive and enjoyable environment in which the children feel happy to learn and feel confident to challenge themselves.
During year 2 we encourage children to work independently and cooperatively with each other. We support the children’s learning and development of skills through a range of teaching methods including whole class, group work, paired work and individual learning opportunities.
We learn through a variety of methods and where possible, the lessons are cross-curricular and practical.
Duffy class will be given extra responsibilities throughout the year to encourage them to develop confidence and independence, which will ensure they have a smooth transition into key stage 2. For example:
· Taking the lead roles in the Christmas production
· Choosing books independently
Please ensure children have removed earrings on PE days and they have BOTH indoor and outdoor kits in school every day.
We change our reading books once a week. Please write “book finished” in the reading record when your child has finished their book.
Homework will be set weekly on Seesaw.
Thank you for your continued support.
Mrs Bell and Mrs Beale
